Abstract

Bougainvillea flower extract was used as a fuel in solution combustion synthesis of pure and Nd³⁺ (1-9 mol %) doped vanadium pentoxides (V₂O₅) nanostructure. Powder x-ray Diffractogram, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy images revealed the orthorhombic phase in Nd³⁺ doped V₂O₅ nanostructure. The additional peaks in Fourier Transform Infrared spectra and in Raman spectra were due to lattice distortion and mixed valence oxide in VO₄ led to structural and morphological changes. The synthesized Nd³⁺ doped V₂O₅ nanostructure exhibited good photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Methylene blue dye due to decrease in its work function as well as decrease in electron-hole recombination.
