ChemInform Abstract: The Effect of Doping V₂O₅ on Crystallization and Physical Properties of ZnO Nanoparticles.

Abstract

V2O5‐doped ZnO nanoparticles are synthesized by the wet incipient method from an aqueous suspension of ZnO nanoparticles (obtained from a solution of Zn(OAc)2, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, and NaOH in EtOH at 70 °C for 2 h) and NH4VO3 at 70 °C, followed by calcination at 400 °C for 2 h.

A simple method to prepare and characterize ZnO/V2O5 nanostructure thin films for photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic uses in visible light

“…The estimated bandgap values of the ZnO/V 2 O 5 nanostructure thin film on glass are found to be 3.24 eV, which closely aligns with the findings given by Gharibe et al [32] Additionally, the energy gap of the ZnO/V 2 O 5 nanostructure thin film on FTO is estimated to be 3.13 eV. The optical band gap of the ZnO/V 2 O 5 nanostructure thin film on glass and FTO/glass substrates is lower than that of ZnO.…”

“…Figures4(C) and (D) illustrate the correlation between the square of the absorption coefficient (α) and the photon energy (hυ) for a ZnO/V 2 O 5 nanostructure thin film on glass and FTO substrate. The band gap values are calculated with the Tauc relation[30,32]:…”
