英文摘要	In this article, we report fabrication of 5 wt% of Dy as DyVO4 supported ZnO by template-free hydrothermal-thermal decomposition method and its photocatalytic activity towards degradation of azo dyes Rhodamine-B (Rh-B) and Trypan Blue (TB) in solar light, Electrocatalytic activity in methanol oxidation and Self-cleaning properties. The as prepared DyVO4-ZnO was characterized by surface analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The results suggested that Dysprosium vanadate doping on ZnO has increased its photocatalytic efficiency with high reusability. DyVO4-ZnO exhibits higher electrocatalytic activity than prepared ZnO for methanol electro-oxidation in alkaline medium, revealing its promising potential as, the anode in direct methanol fuel cells. Hydrophobicity of ZnO increases by doping of DyVO4.
