In this report, we have successfully synthesized pristine and manganese (Mn) doped tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) nanoparticles by simple one step microwave irradiation method for the first time. The concentrations of Mn is varied from 0 to 10 wt%. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis suggest that both pure an...
