New development and photocatalytic performance and antimicrobial activity of α-NH4(VO2)(HPO4) nanosheets

alpha-NH4(VO2)(HPO4) nanosheets were developed by hydrothermal method. Furthermore, it's determined by the several analyses like XRD, Raman, FESEM, TEM, UV-Visible spectroscopy, TGA and DRS UV- Visible spectroscopy studies. The orthorhombic crystalline phase of x-NH4(VO2)(HPO4) nanosheets were recognized by XRD analysis. The x-NH4(VO2)(HPO4) nanosheets functional groups identification was investigated by Raman spectroscopy. Thermal gravimetric analysis of x-NH4(VO2)(HPO4) nanosheets were identified and its attain for three decomposition stages. The nanosheets of the x-NH4(VO2)(HPO4) was clearly evaluated by FESEM and TEM measurements. x-NH4(VO2)(HPO4) nanomaterial band gap energy was determined by DRS UV Visible spectroscopy analysis and the calculated bandgap energy is 1.83 eV. Hence, it was more convenient way for the dye degradation applications. These x-NH4(VO2) (HPO4) nanosheets was will be tested in the photocatalytic and antimicrobial applications. In this case, antimicrobial study was not encouraged in the catalyst. Consequently, this material has more encouraging for electrostatic interaction with enhanced for the applications.
