Abstract  A stable and insoluble V2O5·nH2O/tetra-n-butyl titanate (TBO) hybrid xerogel was synthesized by the sol-gel method. This novel material proved to be an efficient absorbent with an absorption capacity of 179 mg·g-1 for Rhodamine B (RhB) in water due to its unique layered structure, which can effectively accommodate RhB molecules between its layers as demonstrated by XRD and FTIR spectroscopic analyses.
Keywords:  layered material      V2O5 xerogel      rhodamine B      absorption
