Synthesis & Characterization of Multifunctional MnO Coated Ag-doped γ-Fe2O3 Nanoparticles by Sono-Chemical Method

Abstract

In this research work, the synthesis of multifunctional γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles was carried out by the wet precipitation method through magnetic stirring and sonication. The methodology employed for this work has been based on an iterative experimental approach to optimize the synthesis route. MnO₂ coating was also applied to form a core-shell structure to enhance magnetic, electronic & catalytic properties of γ-Fe₂O₃. Ag doping was carried out to promote the functionality of core/ shell structure in terms of catalytic performance. The morphology & crystal structure analysis was carried out by scanning electron microscope.
