Abstract
Pure zinc vanadate (Zn3V2O8) nanostructures were prepared via a simple precipitation approach by using different amines as novel basic agents. Various amines and surfactants were applied and the as-prepared products were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, Electron Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Photoluminescence and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy. Zinc vanadate nanostructures with different particle size and morphology were prepared successfully. The photocatalytic activity of Zn3V2O8 nanostructure was investigated by degradation of anionic dye of eosin Y in aqueous solution under UV light irradiation.
