Facile sol-gel synthesis and enhanced photocatalytic activity of the V2O5-ZnO nanoflakes

The structural, optical and photocatalytic properties of V2O5-ZnO nanoflakes are reported. A facile sol-gel method was employed for the synthesis of ZnO and V2O5-ZnO nanostructures. Structural characterizations revealed a flake-type structure of V2O5-ZnO obtained from ZnO nanorods. A decrease in th...
