Abstract: In this study, the influence of hydrothermal reaction temperatures on V2O5synthesized via a green facile mild hydrothermal method at six different reaction temperatures ranging from 100 to 200 °C, at steps of 20 °C and the physical properties the synthesized s les have been investigated. The x-ray diffraction pattern confirms the stable orthorhombic crystal structure of the synthesized s les at all reaction temperatures. The scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images demonstrate the particle-like morphology, and these characterizations affirmed that the particles’ size became larger with the increase in the reaction temperatures. To study the functional groups, Fourier-transform infrared investigation has been employed. The bandgap of the synthesized s les has been estimated using UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra and was found to vary from 2.08 to 2.15 eV, which implies their suitability for absorbing a significant amount of visible light. The photocatalysis of methylene blue with synthesized s les has been carried out to investigate the photocatalytic efficiency. Pure V2O5 synthesized at a lower reaction temperature (100 °C) possesses a lower bandgap and, accordingly, higher photocatalytic efficiency.

Abstract: For the first time, we have reported in this study an ab initio investigation on elastic properties, Debye temperature, Mulliken population, Vickers hardness, and charge density of the two recently synthesized superconducting ScRhP and ScIrP pnictides. The optimized cell parameters show fair agreement with the experimental results. The mechanical stability of both ternary phosphides is confirmed via the calculated elastic constants. Both compounds are ductile in nature and damage tolerant. ScIrP is expected to be elastically more anisotropic than ScRhP. The estimated value of Debye temperature predicts that ScRhP is thermally more conductive than ScIrP and the phonon frequency in ScRhP is higher than that in ScIrP. Both pnictides are soft and easily machinable due to their low Vickers hardness. Moreover, the hardness of ScRhP is lower due to the presence of antibonding Rh–Rh in ScRhP. The metallic conductivity of ScRhP reduces significantly when Rh is replaced with Ir. The main contribution to the total density of states (TDOS) at Fermi‐level ( E F ) comes from d‐electrons of Sc and Rh/Ir in both pnictides. These two ternary compounds are characterized mainly by metallic and covalent bonding with little ionic contribution. The calculated superconducting transition temperatures fairly coincide with the reported measured values.
