Abstract

One dimensional nanorods of β-Ag_0.333V₂O₅ have been synthesized by facile thermal decomposition method without using any additives. The prepared sample was characterized by different physical and chemical techniques such as XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, DRS and XPS. The photocatalytic activity of β-Ag_0.333V₂O₅ catalyst was investigated by studying the degradation of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous medium under visible light exposure. The result shows β-Ag_0.333V₂O₅ exhibits outstanding photocatalytic activity under visible light illumination.
