“…Among them, layered vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5 ) is thermodynamically the most stable oxide, which possesses the highest oxidation valence state among all vanadium oxides [ 2 ]. The rich crystallinity and morphology have made V 2 O 5 a very interesting material for a broad range of applications, which include field emission [ 3 , 4 ], supercapacitor [ 5 , 6 ], lithium battery [ 7 ], transistor [ 8 ], and photodetector [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. It is worth mentioning that V 2 O 5 is a promising n-type semiconductor for photodetection due to its direct band gap of 2.2 to 2.7 eV [ 16 , 17 ].…”
