Abstract: A γ-MnO2 thin film was prepared using nano-sized γ-MnO2 powder by the suspending
particles sintering method. The γ-MnO2 thin film was characterized by AFM, SEM, BET and XRD techniques, and the effects of La, PVA additives and pH value on the
structure of γ-MnO2 thin film were examined. In additim, catalytic properties of γ-MnO2 thin film and γ-MnO2 nanometer
powder were compared by H2-TPR technique. The results show that La can efficiently suppress the phase transformation of γ-MnO2 thin film at La/Mn=0.15,
there are no cracks on the surface of γ-MnO2 thin film dipped at pH=10 and PVA/γ-MnO2=7%, and the activity of oxygen center of
γ-MnO2 thin film is slightly lower than that of γ-MnO2 nanometer powder.

Key words: γ-MnO2, thin film, additives, catalytic property
