Vanadium oxide

Vanadium oxide is a chemical compound made of vanadium and oxygen. It exists in different forms, notably vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅), which is used in manufacturing catalysts to speed up chemical reactions, such as in producing sulfuric acid. Vanadium oxide also has interesting electrical and magnetic properties, making it useful in sensors and smart materials that can change their behavior with temperature or pressure. Additionally, it plays a role in energy storage systems like batteries and is studied for its potential in various industrial applications. Its unique properties stem from the ability of vanadium to exist in multiple oxidation states.
