“…In turn, the CuO, V 2 O 5 and Ta 2 O 5 oxides, which are the components of the system selected for the study, belong to an interesting class of compounds, both in terms of their crystal structure and physicochemical properties. These oxides, due to their electrical and optical properties, are commercially important materials that are used in optoelectronic devices, energy conversion and as catalysts or photocatalysts [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Copper (II) oxide is used to obtain optical switches, field emission devices, lithium-ion electrode materials, gas sensors, biosensors and magnetic data carriers [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ].…”
