Synthesis and Applications of ZnV₂O₆ Nanomaterials

Abstract

ZnV₂O₆ nanomaterials have attracted great interest in the fields of photocatalysis, sensors, solar cells, supercapacitors, and so on. Some investigators already feel that access to morphology controlled ZnV₂O₆ is becoming more difficult to obtain, potentially limiting research. For good the optical, electrical, and surface properties, it is critical that ZnV₂O₆ have a good performance in various applications. This review focuses on the various creative methods for the synthesis and the various applications of ZnV₂O₆ nanomaterials. As promising materials, ZnV₂O₆ have demonstrated great potentials in various applications, because of their electrical, optical, and catalytic properties. Besides, we also put forward some views on the challenges and new directions in this field and hoped that this paper can provide some useful information for future research about the design, synthesis and application of ZnV₂O₆ nanomaterials.
