Synthesis and Characterization of Manganese Doped Titanium Dioxide Nano Materials

K.P. Sreejisha, Dr.P. Renuka Devi

Abstract


High surface area nanorods  of  amorphous TiO2 with anatase structure were synthesized and the samples characterized by  diffused reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD),the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, The nanosheet structure was slightly curved and approximately  100-200 nm in width and several nanometers in thickness. The BET surface area is about 192.845 m²/g for 0.5592 g and with a  band gap of  3.25.
