FeCl₃ and MnCl₂ were dissolved in double distilled water in equal mole ratio and then the mixture solution wasprepared high basic (pH 10) by adding NH₄OH. The basic solution was then heated up to 150.0°C for 15 hours. After 15 hrs, the product was collected by decanting the solvent and washed several times with double distilled water and acetone. The product was dried and then calcined at 500.0°C for 5 hours. The synthesized nanomaterial was characterized by utilizing various spectroscopic methods. Morphology was studied characterize by XRD (X’Pert Explorer, PANalytical diffractometer) and JEOL Scanning Electron Microscope (JSM-7600F, Japan). FT-IR spectrum is taken for the structure confirmation of doped nanomaterial using PerkinElmer (spectrum 100) FT-IR spectrometer. UV spectrum is taken for the optical performance of nanomaterial using PerkinElmer (Lambda 950) UV-visible spectrometer. Keithley Electrometer was utilized for the current measurement.

JEOL Scanning Electron Microscope (JSM-7600F, Japan) was used to analyze the morphology of the prepared material while the crystallography was studied by X'Pert Explorer, PANalytical X-ray diffractometer. The XPS spectrum was recorded in the range of 0 to 1350 eV by using a Thermo Scientific K-Alpha KA1066 spectrometer (Germany). For compositional, optical and degradation studies of the nanomaterial, FT-IR and UV spectrum were record by a PerkinElmer (spectrum 100) FT-IR spectrometer and PerkinElmer (Lambda 950) UV-visible spectrometer. For sensing study, I–V measurements were carried out using an electrometer (Kethley, USA).
