This paper reviews recent studies of highly conductive barium iron vanadate glass with a composition of 20 BaO ∙ 10 Fe2O3 ∙ 70 V2O5 (in mol %). Isothermal annealing of the vanadate glass for several ten minutes at a given temperature, higher than glass transition temperature or crystallization temperature, caused an increase in σ. Substitution of CuI (3d10), ZnII (3d10) and CuII (3d9) for FeIII...

Reactions of neutral vanadium oxide clusters with small hydrocarbons, namely C2H6, C2H4, and C2H2, are investigated by experiment and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Single photon ionization through extreme ultraviolet (EUV, 46.9 nm, 26.5 eV) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 118 nm, 10.5 eV) lasers is used to detect neutral cluster distributions and reaction products. The most stable ...

A simple and scalable approach has been reported for V2O5 encapsulation over interconnected multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) network using chemical bath deposition method. Chemically synthesized V2O5/MWCNTs electrode exhibited excellent charge-discharge capability with extraordinary cycling retention of 93% over 4000 cycles in liquid-electrolyte. Electrochemical investigations have been p...

The classical orthorhombic layered phase of V2O5 has long been regarded as the thermodynamic sink for binary vanadium oxides and has found great practical utility as a result of its open framework and easily accessible redox states. Herein, we exploit a cation-exchange mechanism to synthesize a new stable tunnel-structured polymorph of V2O5 (z-V2O5) and demonstrate the subsequent ability of thi...

The aim of this study is separation of Fe2O3, TiO2 and V2O5 anomalies in Esfordi 1:100,000 sheet which is located in Bafq district, Central Iran. The analyzed elements of stream sediment samples taken in the area can be classified into 5 groups (factors) by factor analysis. The Concentration–Number (C-N) fractal model was used for delineation of the Fe2O3, TiO2 and V2O5 thresholds. According to...

Electrochromic switching devices have elicited considerable attention because these thin films are among the most promising materials for energy-saving applications. The vanadium oxide system is simple and inexpensive because only a single-layer film of this material is sufficient for coloration. Vanadium dioxide thin films are fabricated by electrochemical deposition and cyclic voltammetry. Ch...

Paper, a low-cost and flexible substrate made from cellulose fiber, is explored in this study as a platform for fast electrochemical energy storage devices. Conductivity and Li-storage capabilities are introduced to the paper by functionalization with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and V2O5, respectively. The Li-storage paper cathodes present a remarkably high rate performance due to the high conducti...

Interaction of V2O5 with TiO2 during the preparation of V/Tioxide catalysts via solid-state reaction has been studied by means of in situ FT-Raman spectroscopy, HRTEM and XPS. This interaction results in the formation of monomeric vanadia species with vanadium in tetrahedral coordination. The bridging oxygen in the V–O–Ti bond is suggested to be responsible for the catalytic activity during the...

V4+-rich V2O5/carbon aerogel (V4+-V2O5/CA) composites were synthesized as electrode materials for supercapacitors via in-situ hydrolysis-condensation processing. Carbon (CA) promotes the deposition of amorphous vanadium oxide and catalyzes crystallization V2O5 nanosheets at much reduced temperature. With a uniform distribution in CA, special structure provides large specific area reactive sites...
