“…The second step involved evaluation at a temperature of 746 °C and 740 °C, with a mass loss of 3.7% and 3.6%, signifying the complete removal of the phenyl compound moiety. The TGA plot for Mn[ N - p -anisdtc] (PR3) illustrates three steps of degradation at 183 °C, 322 °C and 446 °C, with a final residual of 4.2% as MnS [ 24 ].…”

The necessity to develop renewable energy resources that are highly durable and flexible with superior energy density and capacitance ability has attracted considerable interest in the field of solar cell research. Semiconducting compound materials that are easily available, hazard-free and cost-effective are emerging as potential solutions to tackle this challenge. Herein, we present multiple molecular precursors used to grow manganese sulfide nanoparticles through a proficient one-step heat-up approach. For all of the tested samples, the X-ray diffraction peaks correspond to a γ-MnS hexagonal wurtzite structure. UV-Vis spectroscopy yielded absorption wavelengths of 359–420 nm and band-gap energies of 3.78–4.0 eV. Photoluminescence analysis shows characteristics of red and blue shift from 451–602 nm. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) reveal a narrow size distribution with nanosticks and large contact areas, which are critical for improved catalytic performance. The current study provides an improved pathway to a well-grown and uniform nanocrystal structure for applications in energy devices.
