【 摘 要 】

Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by reverse micellar method using Tergitol NP9 as a surfactant for the first time. These nanoparticles were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction analysis. Structural analysis and optical studies revealed that manganese is incorporated into the ZnO host lattice forming a solid solution. Transmission electron microscopic studies show that the particle size increases from 20â€�??50 nm on increasing the dopant concentration from 0.05â€�??0.15. The specific surface area of Zn_{1−ð�?��?}Mn_ð‘�?O (ð‘�? = 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) as calculated using BET method was found to be 202.62, 145.78 and 75.66 m²g^-1, respectively which are higher than the reported values so far.
