The main aim of this work is to report an alternative technique of creating vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) based uncooled infrared (IR) detector, by a state-of-the-art V₂O₅ nanofibers, manufactured by facile and economical electrospinning process. The nanofibers were thermally and electrically characterized to determine their bolometric performance. The nanofibers show maximum voltage responsivity of (ℜ_v ) 6987.3 V/W at 100 mA DC bias, under normal room temperature and pressure condition. Nanofibers show very good thermal response (τ_s ) and recovery time (τ_r ) when subjected to a periodic On-Off cycle of IR lamp (150W) illumination. Temperature dependent resistance measurement reveals that nanofibers are exhibiting semiconductor to metallic phase transition at 67^°C with maximum TCR% -1.6%/K at the transition temperature. V₂O₅ nanofibers characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman Spectroscopy confirms their crystallinity and elemental composition. The optical band gap of the nanofibers is analyzed by UV-Visible spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images confirms their microstructural dimensions and surface homogeneity. The entire analysis reaffirms the suitability of V₂O₅ nanofibers as one of the futuristic sensing material for IR imaging applications.
