Abstract

One-dimensional (1D) vanadium-based nanostructures have advantageous properties and are showing emerging critical applications in the fields of catalysis, smart devices, and electrochemical energy storage. We herein timely gave an overview of the 1D vanadium pentoxide (VO)-based nanomaterials for these promising applications, especially regarding the merits of different synthetic methods, structures and properties combined with recent research frontiers and patents in advanced energy storage, including batteries, supercapacitors and the like. The high capacity, high rate and flexibility of 1D VO-based nanomaterials endow them with great potential in high-energy-density, high-power energy devices and specific/harsh environments. Finally, some major directions and suggestions are provided for further development of this emerging and promising field.
