The novel synthesis of Nb2O5 nanoparticles via surfactant free methods applicable for electrochemical energy devices

Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) has been studied extensively due to its application in Li-ion battery, additives for BiTiO3 capacitors, electrochemical electrodes and etc (1-4).Nb2O5 nanostructuressynthesized via different methods like solvo-thermal, hydrothermal, sol-gel, mechano-chemicaland electrodeposition with different precursors (5). In this work we present a time-consuming and cost efficient method which not containing any surfactant to produce it
