Eggshell Membrane-Templated MnO₂ Nanoparticles: Facile Synthesis and Tetracycline Hydrochloride Decontamination.

ABSTRACT: Taking advantages of reticular proteins and reductive groups on the surface, eggshell membrane (ESM) was selected to synthesize MnO₂ nanoparticles from potassium permanganate through a super simple way in which ESM acted as both template and reductant. This process avoided harsh reaction conditions or complicated aftertreatments and thus owned the merits of green synthesis, handy operation, low cost, and easy purification. The ESM-templated MnO₂ nanoparticles (MnO₂ NPs/ESM) were characterized, and the content of nanomaterials on the template was tested. MnO₂ NPs/ESM showed a good capacity for decontamination of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The macroscopical materials can be separated easily by taking the membrane out to stop the degradation
