Vanadium oxides

• In recent years, there has been and increased interest in synthesizing quasi one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures of Vanadium oxidess and their derivative compounds . 
• This is due to their potential applications such as catalysts , cathode materials for lithium batteries , high-energy density lithium batteries , chemical sensors , electric field-effect transistors,  and electrochemical and optical devices.
• A low-cost, a high-yielding of Vanadium oxides nanobelts  2 was simply synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of our (NH4)2V3O8, 1, with deionized water at 200 °C for 3 days.
