A new amendment of VO₂ nanoparticles with enhanced photocatalytic and antibacterial activities was prepared using the thermal decomposition method. The synthesized VO₂ nanomaterials were analyzed using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and DRS UV-visible spectroscopy. The FT-IR analysis identified V=O, V-O-V, and V-O stretching vibrations of functional groups. The SEM analysis confirmed the leaf-like morphology of the nanomaterials with a remarkable diameter range. The VO₂ nanoleaf material has a low bandgap energy of 3.3 eV, making it suitable for dye degradation applications. The nanomaterials were also found to have improved antibacterial activity. The study highlights the potential of VO₂ nanomaterials for photocatalytic and antibacterial applications. The synthesis method is efficient, requiring less time and low concentration, and produces good morphological growth. The VO₂ nanomaterials showed admirable efficiencies under visible light illumination for dye degradation and improved antibacterial activity. The study also discusses the importance of VO₂ nanomaterials in various applications such as photocatalytic degradation, environmental pollution, and wastewater treatment. The study emphasizes the need for further research on the properties and applications of VO₂ nanomaterials. The research also highlights the importance of antibacterial applications of VO₂ nanomaterials, as they can easily bind or foul bacteria, fungi, and organisms. The study suggests that VO₂ nanomaterials have potential for use in various applications, including catalysts, gas sensors, adsorbents, and electrode materials. The study also discusses the importance of the thermal decomposition method and other methods in the synthesis of VO₂ nanomaterials. The study concludes that VO₂ nanomaterials have promising applications in various fields, including photocatalytic and antibacterial activities.A new amendment of VO₂ nanoparticles with enhanced photocatalytic and antibacterial activities was prepared using the thermal decomposition method.
