Synthesis of Environment Friendly Manganese Doped Metal Oxide Nanoparticles for the Bio sensor Applications

The present work focuses the synthesis of Manganese(Mn) doped Fe2O3 nanoparticles via an environmental friendly method which find their suitability for biosensors applications using the extraction of Nyctanthes arbor tristis seed for the first time. The synthesized Mn (~2, 3 & 5 wt. %) doped Fe2O3 were characterized by Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission Scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Cyclic voltammeter, Infrared and UV visible spectroscopic studies. The powder X-ray diffraction analysis exposed the phase formation and α - Fe2O3 nanoparticles in the case of annealed sample. Also, interesting secondary phase formation observed in the case of Mn 5wt. % doped samples. The optical properties of Mn (~2, 3 & 5 wt. %) doped Fe2O3 samples was determined by utilizing UV – Visible spectroscopic technique and the corresponding band gap energy was found to be 5.83 eV. The chemical bonds as well as functional groups in the compound were confirmed by the analysis of FT-IR spectrum. The morphology of the prepared samples were observed at micro level using FE-SEM analysis.Cyclic voltammeter was used to find the suitability of the prepared samples for proposed bio sensor applications.
