Conclusion

we synthesized uniform-sized MnO nanospheres with particle sizes ranging from 5 to 40 nm from the thermal decomposition of Mn-surfactant complexes.

When TOP and TPP were employed as the surfactants, MnO nanorods with sizes of 7 nm (diameter) x 33 nm (length) and 8 nm (diameter) x 140 nm (length) were produced
