Novel bilayer 2D V₂O₅ as a potential catalyst for fast photodegradation of organic dyes.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have recently drawn interest in various applications due to their superior electronic properties, high specific surface area, and surface activity. However, studies on the catalytic properties of the 2D counterpart of V₂O₅ are scarce. In the present study, the catalytic properties of 2D V₂O₅ vis-à-vis bulk V₂O₅ for the degradation of methylene blue dye are discussed for the first time. The 2D V₂O₅ catalyst was synthesized using a modified chemical exfoliation technique. A massive increase in the electrochemically active surface area of 2D V₂O₅ by one order of magnitude greater than that of bulk V₂O₅ was observed in this study. Si
