An electrodeposition method is introduced to produce crystalline films of Mn3O4 from aqueous solution. The films are electrodeposited potentiostatically from a solution of 0.2 M Mn(II) acetate at a pH of 6 and a deposition temperature of 80 °C. The anodic deposition is performed in the potential range of 0.275–0.350 V vs Ag/AgCl/KCl(sat.). In this potential range the current efficiency is 100%. Both the stoichiometry and the morphology of the films can be controlled through the applied potential. Films deposited at a low overpotential grow with a [001] preferred orientation, columnar microstructure, and near-stoichiometric Mn(III)/Mn(II) ratio of 1.99. Films deposited at higher overpotential deposit with a near-random orientation, porous or powdery microstructure, and Mn(III)/Mn(II) ratio of 2.62. At potentials greater than 0.38 V, amorphous films of MnO2 are produced. The as-deposited Mn3O4 has a very high resistivity of 4.4 × 108 Ωcm. The electrodeposited Mn3O4 films undergo unipolar, nonvolatile resist...
