Moreover, this performance is stable for at least 6 cycles. The enhanced catalytic performance has been related to the presence of highly reactive oxygen surface species. This species are probably promoted by Mn3O4 nanoparticles with Mn3+ at the tetragonal distorted cationic sites, likely compensated by structural water at the anionic sites. The presence of structural water can be related to the formation of internal cavities/vesicles in the Mn3O4 crystalline structure.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.apcata.2019.06.005https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0926860X19302595open access546Manganese oxideCavitiesStructural waterTolueneVOCs oxidationCiencias23 Química
