The synergistic combination of distinct materials to create composite structures has garnered significant interest in various scientific disciplines. In this study, we present the synthesis and characterization of a composite material composed of Au₂V (Gold vanadate) and V₂O₅ (Vanadium pentoxide). The unique properties of V₂O₅, including its semiconducting behavior. The integration of Au₂V with V₂O₅ offers the potential to create a composite material. The synthesis methodology, involving the controlled formation is detailed. Comprehensive characterization through techniques X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) have been performed. This study contributes to the understanding of composite materials. The (Au₂V)0.01(V₂O₅) 0.99 composite’s tailored properties and improved catalytic activity hold promise for future applications in green and sustainable catalysis, paving the way for innovative solutions in diverse chemical processes.
