Abstract

Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) thin films doped with Sn (insteps of 0.1mM of Sn) were deposited onto glass substrates using spray pyrolysis technique. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the films were investigated. XRD patterns of as - deposited films confirmed the polycrystalline nature of the films with orthorhombic structure and annealed films confirmed the formation of β - V2O5 phase. Crystallite size increased with an increase of annealing temperature. Scanning Electron Micrograph of annealed film shows the formation of overlapped rods like morphology. The band gap was obtained from Tauc’s plot and found to vary from 2.32 to 2.52eV for as - deposited films and 2.22 to 2.28 eV for annealed films. The effect of annealing temperature was analysed and discussed.
