Zinc vanadate nanoparticle: An innovative electrochemical sensor synthesized via green fuel for the detection of ascorbic acid and its other applications

Abstract

Zinc vanadate (Zn₄V₂O₉) nanoparticles (NPs) have been effectively produced at 600 °C using the solution combustion technique. The as-synthesized Zn₄V₂O₉ NPs were further examined using a variety of methods, including photoluminescence (PL), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), to look at the surface morphological characteristics of a material or sample as well as its optical and crystal structural characteristics. Additionally, the synthesized Nps is employed in various processes including photocatalytic dye degradation of Rose Bengal dye and latent finger printing.Zn₄V₂O₉ NPs were discovered to have a crystal size of 45.97 nm, and the XRD pattern indicates that the synthesized NPs had a monoclinic crystallite structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to identify the shape of NPs. l-Ascorbic acid (LAA) presence is detected using the produced NPs. This study involves dropcasting of NPs and electrode modification. The electrode is utilized for additional research after being left overnight to dry.
