Abstract

Sol-gel method is used to fabricate morphologically controlled manganese-tin (Mn-Sn) bimetallic nanoparticles using manganese nitrate and tin chloride as precursors. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) is used to study the elemental composition and chemical formula of the synthesized products. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is used to characterize the morphology of products. The catalytic property of Mn-Sn bimetallic nanoparticles is enhanced due to synergistic effect of both metals. The morphology of catalyst and the structure of organic dyes and nitro-compounds are used to compare the values of apparent rate constant, reduction time and percentage reduction.
