<br/><br/> Vanadium Pentoxide is considered as an intriguing material for several advanced<br/>technological applications such as Lithium ion batteries, super capacitors, photo<br/>catalysis and optical waveguide. There is a critical relationship among size and<br/>properties of materials. Considering the aforesaid motivations we worked on tuning the<br/>size of vanadium Pentoxide nanobelts by simply varying the synthesis temperature. In<br/>this thesis, we have presented a facile and non-toxic method for the synthesis of<br/>vanadium Pentoxide nanobelts. The XRD results confirm that the obtained phase of<br/>pure vanadium Pentoxide with no impurities found within the experimental limitations.<br/>The Scanning Electron Microscopy shows that the diameter of the nanobelts changes<br/>with the change in synthesis temperature. The UV-Vis-Spectrum shows that the band<br/>gap of the nanobelts is also changing with the variation of temperature. These results<br/>indicate that by just varying a simple parameter one can tune the band gap and other<br/>properties of vanadium Pentoxide nanobelts. These studies show that vanadium<br/>Pentoxide nanobelts can be promising candidate for optoelectronic device.
