Method of controlling aspect ratio of nano-structure, method of producing nano-structure using the same and nano-structure produced thereby

Abstract

Provided are a method of easily controlling the aspect ratio of a nano-structure, which can be effectively used in various fields of application, including a positive active material for a rechargeable battery, an electrode material for a storage battery, a redox catalyst, a molecule support, and so on, and by which various nano-structures of desired sizes can be easily produced according to the necessity. The method includes preparing a mixed solution including a manganese salt and an oxidant, adding a pH controlling additive to the mixed solution and controlling a pH level of the mixed solution using the following equation, and heating the pH-controlled mixed solution at a temperature in a range of 50□ to 200□ for 1 hour to 10 days to cause a reaction to take place: Specific surface area (m2/g)=0.2 pH2+2.
