Vanadium Oxide Nanorods: Synthesis, Morphology, and Luminescence Characteristics

A highly cost-effective synthesis approach has been adopted to prepare stable V2O5 nanorods for energy storage device applications. The as synthesized nanorods are thoroughly characterized using advanced techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X- ray diffraction (XRD), UV visible and photoluminescence (PL). The mentioned techniques were performed to provide the valuable insight into the morphological, structural, optical and photoluminescence properties of as-synthesized V2O5 nanorods. X-ray diffraction exhibits the structural properties with the highest Bragg’s angle observed at 8.66 degree. Surface morphology of the as prepared and calcinated nanorod’s samples was studied by using the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The observed bandgap of NRs was calculated using tauc- plot and achieved at 2.61 eV. The photoluminescence spectroscopy demonstrates the luminescence behaviour of as synthesized nanorods. Aforementioned synthesis and results achieved through characterizations exhibits its potential suitability for photodetector applications.
