✦ Synopsis

Different morphologies of vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5 ) from 1D to 3D, including nanospheres, nanowires, urchin-like and flower-like nanostructures, have been synthetized by a simple hydrothermal method. Some parameters, such as the reaction temperature, the volume of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and possible formation mechanisms of different V 2 O 5 nanostructures were discussed. The results demonstrate that PVP and the reaction temperature play a critical role on the morphology of vanadium pentoxide.
