Influence of annealing temperature on structural, optical and magnetic properties of Zn0.97Cu0.01V0.02O nanoparticles

Synthesis of novel ZnV2O4spinel oxide nanosheets and their hydrogen storage properties

“…41,42 The strong and sharp peak might be a result of vacancies or defects which is consistent with other reports for similar spinel oxides. 43 This shows that NSNs could be a good candidate for violet/blue optoelectronic devices. It is believed that hydrogen absorption has a passivation effect on defect or interstitial sites because of their ease for diffusion into the lattice at various positions and formation of strong bonds.…”

Novel Zn 2 V 2 O 7 hierarchical nanostructures: Optical and hydrogen storage properties

“…The PL spectra of Zn 2 V 2 O 7 depicted in Fig. 5 contained an emission peak around 553.65 nm, which can be attributed to the charge transfer transition in the VO 4 tetrahedra due to defects/vacancies [31,37,38]. These studies have shown that Zn 2 V 2 O 7 is a promising material for light-emitting diodes and flat panel displays optoelectronic devices.…”
