Abstract: Electrochemical and photoeletrochemical properties of electrodepositing γ-MnO_2 are studied when it is charged and discharged in 1 mol·L~(-3) KOH using cyclic voltammetry and in-situ photoelectrochemical method. When γ-MnO_2 is reduced,the photocurrent decreases from positive to negative. We concluded that γ-MnO_2 is a n-type semiconductor, but it is p-type doped during the reduction processes.

Key words: MnO2, Cyclie Voltammetry method, Photoelectrochemical method
