Abstract
In the present study composites of ZnO and V2O5 (3, 6 and 9 mol%) were synthesized by solid state reaction method and the influence of V2O5 on the structural, microstructural, optical, dielectric and transport properties of final product have been investigated. The characterization of samples has been carried out by employing various experimental techniques such as XRD, FESEM, RAMAN, UV–Visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence. Information regarding the phase and structural parameters has been extracted using Rietveld refinements and microstructural using Williamson–Hall (W–H) analysis. Samples were also investigated for dc and ac electrical behavior. The present study revealed that the presence of V2O5 in ZnO–V2O5 composite plays a significant role in altering its structural, optical, dielectric and transport properties. An effort has also been made to correlate the structure with optical, dielectric and conduction properties of synthesized composites.
