| Abstract | To reduce the synthesis time, energy consumption, low cost, Mn$^{2+}$-doped NiS (Mn$_{ x }$Ni$_{1−x }$S: x = 0.0, 0.3 and 0.5) nano-photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a facile, one-pot, microwave combustion method (MCM) within 10 min. In this MCM route, microwave heating has produced such functional nano-photocatalysts within few minutes of time. Powder XRD, FT-IR, EDX and SAED results were confirmed the formation of well crystalline single phase of NiS nano-crystals. The as-prepared samples consist of agglomerated particles with nano-crystals like morphologies confirmed by HR-SEM and HR-TEM analysis. The optical band gap energy (E $_{ g }$) was estimated from UV–Vis DRS and PL study. The value of E $_{ g }$ is increased with increasing Mn doping in Mn$_{ x }$Ni$_{1−x }$S lattice, due to decrease of particle size. VSM results confirmed a weak ferromagnetic behavior of Mn$_{ x }$Ni$_{1−x }$S nano-crystals and the values of magnetization (M$_{s}$) gradually increased with increasing the concentration of Mn$^{2+}$ cations, due to the higher magnetic moment (5 μB) of Mn$^{2+}$ ions replaced the lower magnetic moment (2 μB) of Ni$^{2+}$ ions in NiS. The present study leads to enhance the photocatalytic activity of Mn$_{ x }$Ni$_{1−x }$S samples, TiO$_{2}$ catalyst was added. As expected, Mn$_{ x }$Ni$_{1−x }$S nanoparticles sensitized TiO$_{2}$ catalyst showed enhanced photocatalytic degradation (PCD) of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) under visible light irradiation. The alteration of Mn$_{ x }$Ni$_{1−x }$S–TiO$_{2}$ nano-composite catalysts shows higher adsorption with synergistic effect and enhances the separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, important to higher PCD efficiency. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
