A direct synthetic approach to vanadium pentoxide nanofibres modified with silver nanoparticles

Abstract

Small amounts of silver ions have been found to significantly enhance the growth rate of vanadium pentoxide (V(2)O(5)) nanofibres in aqueous solution at room temperature, yielding fibres with lengths of several micrometers within a few days; the V(2)O(5) fibres are decorated with silver nanoparticles with sizes in the range of 5-15 nm, which opens perspectives for applications in chemical sensors.

Silver nanoparticle deposited layered double hydroxide nanosheets as a novel and high-performing anode material for enhanced Ni–Zn secondary batteries

“…In addition, silver nanoparticles have been decorated on other active materials to obtain superior performances, such as chemical stability, high electron conductivity, sensing property, catalytic activity, and antibacterial ability. [18][19][20][21][22] And in the battery eld, studies dealing with the deposition of silver nanoparticles on the surface of battery active materials were carried out and improved electrochemical performance was achieved. [23][24][25][26][27][28] The enhanced performance can be attributed to the good conductivity of the Ag nanoparticles, which results in better electron transportation on the electrode.…”

Electrical Current Suppression of Pd-Doped Nanowire Network Due to Hydrogen Adsorption

“…The Pd-VON was synthesized by the previously presented procedure for the Ag-doped VON 6 with vanadium-oxytriisopropoxide and palladium acetate (CH 3 COO) 2 Pd. Pd doping on the VON was identified by the tunneling electron microscopy (TEM) study (Fig.…”
