“…The band at 482 cm À1 could be assigned to C-H bending, while the band from 2845 to 3022 cm À1 could be referred to C-H stretching, [32][33][34] and the band located at 3438 to 3700 cm À1 is referred to OH vibrations. 33 On the other hand, SV showed different bands at 730, 859, and 924 cm À1 , which could be assigned to V-O-V stretching vibrations, respectively, 37,38 VO 3À group antisymmetric vibrations, and V-O-Ag vibrations, [39][40][41] and VO 3 symmetric stretching vibrations, respectively. 41 Furthermore, the spectral regions between 3750-2750 and 2030-1200 cm À1 (highlighted in blue) are associated with the stretching and bending vibrations of physisorbed water molecules and surface hydroxyl groups.…”
