Effective Disposal of Methylene Blue and Bactericidal Benefits of Using GO-Doped MnO₂ Nanorods Synthesized through One-Pot Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Graphene oxide (GO)-doped MnO₂ nanorods loaded with 2, 4, and 6% GO were synthesized via the chemical precipitation route at room temperature. The aim of this work was to determine the catalytic and bactericidal activities of prepared nanocomposites. Structural, optical, and morphological properties as well as elemental composition of samples were investigated with advanced techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-visible (vis) spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). XRD measurements confirmed the monoclinic structure of MnO₂. Vibrational mode and rotational mode of functional groups (O-H, C=C, C-O, and Mn-O) were eva
