A Comparative Study of Synthesis and Characterization of Pure and Dual Doped (Cu-Co) α-MnO₂ Nanorods

This study synthesized manganese oxide (α-MnO2) nanoparticles with dual doping of cobalt (Co) and copper (Cu) nanorods. We investigated optimal conditions in Cu-Co nanorods doped with α-MnO2. The successful incorporation of cobalt and copper was anticipated using X-ray diffraction. The average particle size of dual doped α-MnO2 nanoparticles was estimated using XRD analysis. The functional group analysis was evaluated using FTIR Spectroscopy. This co-precipitation approach provides advantages such as a simple and speedy preparative method, as well as easy control of particle size and composition, making it commercially frequently utilized due to its cost effectiveness. MnO2 is one of the most popular catalysis materials because to its unique qualities such as high activity, low cost, low toxicity, and environmental compatibility.
