Abstract

In this work, the effect of annealing temperature on the conductivity of solution-combustion-synthesized calcium vanadium oxide (CVO) films was studied. Conductivity was tailored by the appearance of the phases like \(\hbox {CaVO}_{3}\), \(\hbox {CaV}_{2}\hbox {O}_{5}\) and \(\hbox {Ca}_{2}\hbox {V}_{2}\hbox {O}_{7}\) as a function of annealing temperature; \(\hbox {CaVO}_{3}\) and \(\hbox {CaV}_{2}\hbox {O}_{5}\) are responsible for high conductivity, whereas \(\hbox {V}^{5+}\) presence in \(\hbox {Ca}_{2}\hbox {V}_{2}\hbox {O}_{7}\) contributes towards dielectric nature. Evolution of phases of CVO was identified through X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A detailed conductivity measurement as a function of annealing temperature helps us to identify the decreasing trend of conductivity with increasing temperature up to \(400{^{\circ }}\hbox {C}\); beyond this it behaves like an insulator. There was a stable conductivity while aging the films in ambient for a few days. This study revealed safe application temperature domain of CVO, and a clear correlation of electrical conductivity with the in-depth structural–compositional–morphological study.
