Abstract
In the present chapter the amino acid tyrosine and its self-assembly are used to functionalize the oxidation catalyst V2O5. The functionalized catalyst is characterized by experiments and density functional theoretical (DFT) studies. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) are used to look at its morphology, while IR and Raman spectroscopy is used to study its interaction. The nature of the interaction is further probed through first-principle calculations. It is observed in the photocatalytic experiments that the functionalized catalyst behaves differently from the bare catalyst; the unusual behavior is explained by using two dyes, and finally, the possible photostabilizing effect of the catalyst is proposed. This nanocatalyst would be used for further routine applications in environmental remediation.
