“…However, few reports have been conducted on evaluating the photocatalytic activity of SnO 2 : V NPs. us, SnO 2 : V NPs are more active as catalysts than pure SnO 2 [54][55][56][57]. All these studies have proved the enhanced photocatalytic activity of SnO 2 NPs after doping with vanadium ( Table 1).…”

In this paper, we have reported a novel photocatalytic study of vanadium-doped SnO2 nanoparticles (SnO2: V NPs) in rhodamine B degradation. These NPs have been prepared with vanadium concentrations varying from 0% to 4% via the coprecipitation method. Structural, morphological, and optical properties of the prepared nanoparticles have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and UV-Vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Structural properties showed that both undoped and SnO2: V NPs exhibited the tetragonal structure, and the average crystal size has been decreased from 20 nm to 10 nm with the increasing doping level of vanadium. Optical studies showed that the absorption edge of SnO2: V NPs showed a redshift with the increasing vanadium concentration. This redshift leads to the decrease in the optical band gap from 3.25 eV to 2.55 eV. A quenching in luminescence intensity has been observed in SnO2: V NPs, as compared to the undoped sample. Rhodamine B dye (RhB) has been used to study the photocatalytic degradation of all synthesized NPs. As compared to undoped SnO2 NPs, the photocatalytic activity of SnO2: V NPs has been improved. RhB dye was considerably degraded by 95% within 150 min over on the SnO2: V NPs.

“…Using this approach, Salek and al., [38] started modifying the electrochromic properties of V2O5 by doping with titanium. Indeed, polyol approach is one of the most promising methods for manufacturing materials with various morphologies and various structure-sensitive properties; this method is also environmentally friendly, economic, and easy to be implemented and allows the introduction of a large quantity of dopants [39][40][41][42][43].…”

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have attracted considerable attention due to their variety of chromogenic properties. Among them, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) has gained significant interest in respect of multichromism associated with orange, green and blue colors. Herein, we report a simple and easy method for the fabrication of Mo doped V2O5 thick films, leading to improved cyclability. Molybdenum doped vanadium pentoxide powders were synthesized from one single polyol route through the precipitation of an intermediate precursor: molybdenum doped vanadium ethyleneglycolate (Mo doped VEG). The as-synthesized Mo-doped V2O5 exhibits improved electrochromic performance in terms of capacity, cycling stability, and color contrast compared to single-component V2O5 in lithium as well as sodium based electrolyte. The improvement in EC performances lies in films of higher porosity as well as higher diffusion coefficients. To conclude, an electrochromic device combining Mo-V2O5 to WO3.2H2O, via a PMMA-lithium based electrolyte membrane exhibit simultaneously reversible color change from yellow to green for Mo-V2O5 and from blue to yellow white for WO3.2H2O with a cycling stability up to 10 000 cycles.
