“…Iron manganite (FeMnO 3 , FMO) is a mixed perovskite material with the chemical formula ABO 3 , where the Fe atom is placed at the center of a cube formed by eight corner-sharing MnO 6 octahedra ( Habibi and Mosavi, 2017 ). FeMnO 3 has been examined for applications such as lithium-ion batteries, catalysis, humidity sensors, energy storage and antibacterial devices ( Doroftei et al, 2014 ; Cao et al, 2016 ; Cetin et al, 2019 ; Vasiljevic et al, 2020a ; Nikolic et al, 2020 ). A large number of synthesis methods, such as co-precipitation, hydrothermal, ball milling, solid state reaction and sol-gel chemistry, have all been employed for the fabrication of FeMnO 3 materials ( Sundari et al, 2013 ; Doroftei et al, 2014 ; Cao et al, 2016 ; Soni and Pal, 2016 ; Bin et al, 2017 ; Mungse et al, 2017 ; Gowreesan and Ruban Kumar, 2017 ; Saravanakumar et al, 2018 ; Cetin et al, 2019 ; Fix, 2019 ; Lobo and Rubankumar, 2019 ; Vasiljevic et al, 2020a ; Nikolic et al, 2020 ; Vasiljevic et al, 2020b ).…”
