In-situ transmission electron microscopy in combination with a heating stage has been employed to real-time monitor variations of -phase MnO2 nanoflowers in terms of their morphology and crystalline structures upon thermal annealing at elevated temperatures up to ~665℃. High-temperature annealing drives the diffusion of the small δ-MnO2 nanocrystallites within short distances less than 15 nm and the fusion of the adjacent δ-MnO2 nanocrystallites, leading to the formation of larger crystalline domains including highly crystalline nanorods. The annealed nanoflowers remain their overall flower-like morphology while they are converted to δ-MnO2 . The preferred transformation of the δ-MnO2 to the δ-MnO2 can be ascribed to the close lattice spacing of most crystalline lattices between δ-MnO2 and δ-MnO2 , that might lead to a possible epitaxial growth of δ-MnO2 lattices on the δ-MnO2 lattices during the thermal annealing process.
