Structural and toxic effect investigation of vanadium pentoxide

A facile inorganic complex synthesis route has been developed to synthesis V2O5 nanostructures. The effects of varying incubation time on the crystallinity and morphology of the V2O5 phase has been investigated. The obtained XRD result clearly revealed the pure orthorhombic V2O5 crystalline phase. Raman antiphase bridging V-O and chaining V-O stretching modes peaks at 686 and 521 cm(-1) attributed orthorhombic V2O5 characteristics. The V2(p3/2) peak at the binding energies of 517 eV and V2(p1/2) peak at 524 eV assigned to V5+ oxidation state. Bioinspired V2O5 nanostructures as a biocompatible material for anticancer agents show excellent cytotoxicity at higher V2O5 concentration. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
