Product Name
Name:Vanadium dioxide nanoparticles(VO2)
Product Overview
Vanadium dioxide is a deep blue crystal powder with a monoclinic crystal structure, which can be industrially produced by gas reduction of ammonium vanadate or vanadium pentoxide (V2O5). VO2 is a amphoteric compound that is slightly soluble in water and equally soluble in acidic or alkaline solutions; When dissolved in acidic solution, it generates divalent vanadium oxide ions (VO2+), which appear light blue; When dissolved in alkaline solution, it generates vanadate salts M2V4O9 or M2V2O5. VO2 is in a metastable state, where V4+is easily oxidized to V5+, exhibiting relatively weak antioxidant capacity. VO2 is a polycrystalline metal oxide with five main structures: VO2 (M), VO2 (R), VO2 (A), VO2 (B), and VO2 (C).
