Dependence of V2O5 Nanorods Properties on Substrate Type Prepared by Simple Hydrothermal Method

Abstract

V2O5 (Vanadium pentoxide) nanorods were prepared onto various substrates by using simple hydrothermal method. The structural characteristics of the V2O5 nanorods (NRs) have been examined via using XRD diffraction analysis. The effects of the various substrates on the morphological characteristics of V2O5 NRs were investigated by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) technique. The XRD results show that the preferred orientation along (001) plane. Raman spectra indicate that glass substrate has optimum results due to the size and number of the nanorods with lower defects. It can be found from the absorbance of the glass substrate increases compared with the other substrates.
