Enhancement of CO gas sensing performance by Mn-doped porous ZnSnO₃ microspheres.

ABSTRACT: This work reports the synthesis of Mn-doped ZnSnO₃ microspheres (Zn_1-x Mn _x SnO₃) using a simple co-precipitation method with (x = 0 to 0.15) and characterized for structural, morphological, surface area, and sensing properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the face-centered cubic structure of Mn-doped ZnSnO₃ samples. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis demonstrated the variation in surface area from 15.229 m² g^-1 to 42.999 m² g^-1 with x = 0 to 0.15 in Zn_1-x Mn _x SnO₃. XPS indicates the change in the defect levels by Mn doping, which plays a crucial role in chemical sensors. Indeed a significant increase
