摘要
We present first study on ZnV2O4 glomerulus nano/microspheres synthesize by template free route to expose its hydrogen storage potential. Besides this the evolution of nano/microspheres has been investigated in detail. To reveal possible growth mechanism of these spheres, time-dependent experiments are performed. Reitveld analysis is taken into account for calculation of lattice parameters, crystallite size and strain. From our results, a correlation between lattice parameters and crystallite size is observed. The strain decreases with the increase in reaction time. Hydrogen storage measurement reveals potential of ZnV2O4 nanospheres as a prospective material for energy storage applications. These studies can open new avenue of research for hydrogen storage in spinel oxide materials. Copyright (C) 2014, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
