Reduction of hazardous reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of ZnO through Mn inclusion for possible UV-radiation shielding application

Mnx - ZnO(1-x) nanopowders were successfully synthesised through a simple sol-gel method. The samples were annealed at 300 °C to enhance their crystallinity. The lattice structure, morphology and optical properties of the prepared powdered samples were extensively studied using different characteriz...
