Synthesis, characterisation and catalytic activity of V 2 O 5 nanoparticles using Foeniculum vulgare stem extract
A green synthesis route of metal oxide has been developed to synthesize the V 2 O 5 nanoparticles. V 2 O 5 was synthesized using Foeniculum vulgare stems extract (FSE) and ammonium monovanadate as precursors. The role of secondary metabolite compounds affect the particle size of V 2 O 5 . The crysta...

were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Tunneling Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX). V
