Amutha Selvi, M2017-02-092017-02-092015https://ir.avinuty.ac.in/handle/avu/1312To reduce the synthesis time, energy consumption, low cost, Mn”^-doped NiS (Mn,Ni|_,S; jt = 0.0, 0.3 and 0.5) nano-photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a facile, one-pot, microwave combustion method (MCM) within 10 min. Tn this MCM route, microwave heating has produced such functional nano-photocatalysts within few minutes of time. Powder XRD, FT-TR, EDX and SAED results were confirmed the formation of well crystalline single phase of NiS nano-crystals. The as-prepared samples consist of agglomerated particles with nano-crystals like morphologies confirmed by HR-SEM and HR-TEM analysis. The optical band gap energy (E^) was estimated from UV-Vis DRS and PL study. The value of is increased with
