“…For pure MnCo 2 O 4 particles, only one characteristic peak at 680 cm −1 corresponding to the stretching vibration mode of M–O (M = Mn, Co) was determined. 32,33 Also, in hybrid samples the peak for M–O is visible. However, the sample is not entirely homogeneous and in some places, a lack of response from M–O vibrations can be observed (see Fig.…”
