Abstract

Pure and Mg2+, Ni2+, Cd2+ doped MnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. These samples were characterised by PXRD, SEM, EDX, FTIR, UV–Vis-NIR, PL, Antibacterial, Cyclic Voltammetry, Dye Degradation and Photocatalytic studies. From the powder XRD studies, the crystallite size of the particle was calculated using Scherer formula and found that the synthesized nanoparticles were in the range from 10 to 12 nm. The morphology of all the synthesized samples was viewed from SEM micrograph. The composition and purity of the samples were identified from EDX studies. In FTIR spectra metal-oxygen stretching and bending modes of vibrations were observed. From the absorption spectra of UV-Vis optical analysis values of absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, real and imaginary part of optical dielectric constant and optical conductivity were compared. The band gap energy obtained from Tauc’s plot varies from 1.21 to 1.51 eV exhibits semiconducting behaviour of all the synthesized samples. Investigations on photoluminecsence spectrum reveals blue shift in wavelength for doped nanooxides compared to pure MnO2. Antimicrobial activity of synthesised samples against gram positive and gram negative bacteria was determined. The obtained results reveal very high bacterial resistance in Cd2+ doped MnO2 nanoparticles with higher activity towards bacterial resistance compared to standard drug. The specific capacitance values were determined from Cyclic Voltammetry studies. Using the batch method of dye removing technique the percentage of malachite green dye removal was calculated. Also the photocatalytic efficiency of all the synthesized MnO2 samples in removing malachite green dye was studied by exposing to sunlight for different dosage and contact time. Ni2+ doped MnO2 shows relatively higher % of dye degradation capacity about 93% for 0.1 g of dosage of photocatalysts.
