Manganese (Mn) oxides are among the most reactive sorbents and oxidants within the environment, where they play a central role in the cycling of nutrients, metals, and carbon.Recent discoveries have identified superoxide (O2-) (both of biogenic and abiogenic origin) as an effective oxidant of Mn(II) leading to the formation of Mn oxides.Here we exa
