Abstract

Micro/nano urchin-like VO2 particles were synthesized successfully by hydrothermal method. Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), oxalic acid (C2H2O4) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant were used as reagents for the synthesis of VO2. In this article, we have reported the synthesis procedure of VO2 nanorods and micro/nano urchin-like VO2 structure and evaluating the methylene blue (MB) adsorption properties. Morphology and particle size of VO2 were observed by FE-SEM. The phase formation of VO2 was studied by XRD. Raman spectroscopy was also used for characterization of VO2. Micro/nano urchin-like VO2 structure was showed good MB adsorption properties that have potential applications in dye-contaminated water treatments.
