This paper reports the way for the synthesis of nanoplate VO (B) particles with controlled morphology. Nanoplate VO (B) particle was synthesized by hydrothermal method. Microstructure of VO (B) particles were controlled by hydrothermal temperatures and use of Zn doping into VO (B) matrix. The microstructure of the particles was shifted from nanowires to nanoplate morphology by changing of hydrothermal temperatures. The doping of Zn into VO nanoparticles resulted in an effective achievement of VO (B) phase. In addition, luminescence of VO (B) nanoparticle was also controlled by the use Zn doping. These results suggest that the potential application of Zn doped VO (B) particles for potential application in optical and energy techniques.
