摘要: Abstract Highly effective Nb 2 O 5/ZnO nanorods (NRs) were synthesized via a hydrothermal–precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis and photoluminescence (PL) …
