摘要

In this study, V2O5 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple co-precipitation method and systematically investigated for their dual functionality in energy storage and photocatalysis. Structural and morphological characterizations confirmed the formation of phase-pure V2O5 nanoparticles. Electrochemical analysis revealed a maximum specific capacitance of 220 F g⁻1 at a current density of 0.5 A g⁻1, demonstrating their strong potential as electrode materials for supercapacitor applications. In parallel, the photocatalytic activity of the nanoparticles was evaluated using Methylene Blue (MB) dye under visible-light irradiation. The V2O5 nanoparticles achieved 71.6% degradation efficiency within 210 min, which can be attributed to the reduced band gap and effective photo-induced charge carrier separation. The multifunctional performance of V2O5 nanoparticles affirms their suitability for electrochemical energy storage and environmental remediation applications.
