Abstract

In the field of Nano Science & Technology, the most unique invention & properties carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted many industries & companies towards itself, and continue to attract, considerable interest in a wide variety of scientific files. CNTs show as a significant material for future because of its huge production & are used in Membranes, Capacitors, Polymers, Metallic Surfaces, Ceramics & Nano medicines etc. A rolled up of graphite sheet non-stop unbreakable hexagonal such as mesh structure depending upon the number of carbon layers, it can be single-walled carbon nanotubes, double-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes have a number of extraordinary properties such as high electric conductivity, high thermal conductivity, high mechanical strength, tensile strength and thermal resistivity etc. Due to these & desirable properties, they have extremely wide applications in Commercial and Research industries also. The properties of such types of carbon nanotubes can be further improved by use of metal to add in them. These metallic carbon nanotubes have gained prominence due to specific properties which can be further strengthened.

Manganese carbon nanotubes have proven as good n-type semiconductors with high physical and chemical stability and high refractive index. They are widely used as photo catalysts, solar cells, sensors, self-cleaning and bactericidal actions. The Manganese carbon nanotubes are synthesized after decomposing at higher temperature by a simple process to use Egg albumin (White proteins) which acts as a gelling agent in the presence of manganese metal ion/metal salt solution. The Characterization of these manganese carbon nanotubes is carried out by Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), X –ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Tunneling Electron Microscopy (TEM), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Photo Luminescence (PL) etc.
