Abstract

Using the solid-state reaction method, nano-rods were formed after grinding zinc acetate, sodium hydroxide, and CTAB in an agate mortar. Using the same method but with the addition of manganese chloride, flake-like structures of Mn-doped ZnO were formed. EDS revealed that 17% Mn was present. XRD revealed the presence of ZnO and excess by product of MnO. For pure ZnO, lattice parameters computed from XRD data were a = 3.237 Å and c = 5.286 Å while for the Mn doped Zinc oxide, lattice parameters were approximately a = 3.239Å and c = 5.289 Å.
