Abstract

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.
