Manganese doping effect on ZnO photocatalytic and electric properties

Résumé

Mn-doped ZnO nanocrystals with Mn content varying from 0 to 5 at% were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the as prepared nanostructures were investigated. The photocatalytic activities of these materials were evaluated by determining the extent of the degradation reaction yield of an organic dye, methyl orange (MO) in an aqueous solution under UV light irradiation. The photodegradation efficiency of MO reached 91% in 180 min for pure ZnO, while all Mn- doped samples showed lower photocatalytic activity according to the following sequence: Zn0.95Mn0.05O < Zn0.99Mn0.01O < Zn0.97Mn0.03O < ZnO. Photocurrent measurements showed that the photocurrent density of ZnO was higher to that of Zn0.97Mn0.03O. In addition, impedance spectroscopy was used to investigate the electrical properties of ZnO and Zn0.97Mn0.03O at different temperatures (373-773 K) and various frequencies (10 Hz-13 MHz). The photocurrent density measurements and the explored electrical properties of ZnO and Zn0.97Mn0.03O revealed good accordance with the reduced photocatalytic activity of Zn0.97Mn0.03O nanocrystals.
