A cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries is one possible application for the birnessite-related layered MnO2 nanobelts (see Figure) reported here. A simple hydrothermal procedure is described that results in high-purity, long (up to several tens of micrometers) nanobelts with narrow size dispersion (width 5–15 nm) that are usually self-assembled into bundles.
