Abstract

Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) is an inorganic compound, which is used for the chemical synthesis and other industrial applications. In this study, the impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the physicochemical properties of V₂O₅ powder was evaluated using powder X-ray diffraction and particle size distribution analytical techniques. V₂O₅ powder sample was divided into two parts. One part of the sample received the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Gopal Nayak was termed as a Consciousness Energy Healing Treated V₂O₅ sample, while the other part of the sample was called as a control sample. The PXRD peak intensities of the treated V₂O₅ were significantly altered in the range from -14.29% to 54.05% compared to the control sample. Similarly, the crystallite sizes of the treated V₂O₅ were significantly altered in the range from -13% to 111.48% compared to the control sample. However, the average crystallite size of the treated V₂O₅ (585.74) was significantly increased by 18.08% compared with the control sample (496.04) (Figure 1). The particle size values in the treated V₂O₅ were significantly decreased by 28.27% (d10), 13.6% (d50), 7.7% (d90), and 10.25% {D (4,3)} compared to the control sample. Thus, the specific surface area of treated V₂O₅ powder (0.393m2/g) was significantly increased by 64.44% compared with the control sample (0.239m2/g). The results concluded that the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment might have generated a new polymorphic form of V₂O₅ which would improve the solubility, appearance due to larger crystallite/particle size and reduced surface area compared to the control sample. The treated V₂O₅ would also be useful for the industrial applications, i.e., bolometers and microbolometer arrays for thermal imaging, ethanol sensor, redox batteries for energy storage, etc.
