V 2 O 3 and amorphous carbon composites (V 2 O 3 /C composites) with different morphologies (e.g. nanospheres, nanorods and nanosheets) were, for the first time, successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route and subsequent calcination. The as-obtained samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometery (EDS), elemental analysis (EA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The morphology of V 2 O 3 /C composites could be easily controlled by varying the reaction time, and, as a result, V 2 O 3 /C composites with nanospheres, nanorods and nanosheets were selectively synthesized. Furthermore, the phase transition property of V 2 O 3 /C composites was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), suggesting that V 2 O 3 /C composites exhibit the phase transition similar to V 2 O 3 , which could expand the potential applications of materials related to V 2 O 3 in the future.

“…Over the past decades, numerous efforts have been employed in vanadium oxides and their related compounds as functional materials because of their layered structures, unique chemical and physical properties, which make them highly desired in a wide range of promising potential applications such as catalysts, cathode materials for reversible lithium batteries, gas sensors, intelligent thermochromic windows, electrical and optical devices, laser shield and so on [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. As is well known, vanadium has abundant oxidation states (0 to +5), which usually correspond to a variety of binary oxides with the general formula VO 2 + x (−0.5 x 0.5) [15,16], such as V 2 O 5 , VO 2 , V 2 O 3 , V 3 O 7 , V 4 O 9 , V 6 O 13 , etc.…”

Vanadium dioxide VO 2 has been paid in recent years increasing attention because of its various applications, however, its oxidation resistance properties in air atmosphere have rarely been reported. Herein, VO 2 (B) nanobelts were transformed into VO 2 (A) and VO 2 (M) nanobelts by hydrothermal route and calcination treatment, respectively. Then, we comparatively studied the oxidation resistance properties of VO 2 (B), VO 2 (A) and VO 2 (M) nanobelts in air atmosphere by thermo-gravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA). It was found that the nanobelts had good thermal stability and oxidation resistance below 341°C, 408°C and 465°C in air, respectively, indicating that they were stable in air at room temperature. The fierce oxidation of the nanobelts occurred at 426, 507 and 645°C, respectively. The results showed that the VO 2 (M) nanobelts had the best thermal stability and oxidation resistance among the others. Furthermore, the phase transition temperatures and optical switching properties of VO 2 (A) and VO 2 (M) were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and variabletemperature infrared spectra. It was found that the VO 2 (A) and VO 2 (M) nanobelts had outstanding thermochromic character and optical switching properties.

“…Although the effect of transition metals, their oxides and related compounds on the thermal decomposition of AP has been studied to find new catalysts for AP decomposition, the issue is still meaningful for material scientists [4]. To the best of our knowledge, vanadium oxides and their derivatives used as the additives in the thermal decomposition of AP have been rarely reported [11][12][13]. Recently, vanadium oxides have attracted a great deal of attention.…”

“…Recently, vanadium oxides have attracted a great deal of attention. Vanadium oxide hydrate (V 3 O 7 ·H 2 O) nanobelts [12], V 2 O 5 nanowires [13] and vanadium sesquioxide (V 2 O 3 ) particles [11] were reported to reduce the T d of AP to 383, 368 and 407°C, respectively. However, to our best knowledge, the influence of VO 2 (B) on the thermal decomposition of AP has not been reported yet.…”

The influence of vanadium dioxide VO 2 (B) on thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) has not been reported before. In this contribution, the effect of VO 2 (B) nanobelts on the thermal decomposition of AP was investigated by the ThermoGravimetric Analysis and Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA). VO 2 (B) nanobelts were hydrothermally prepared using peroxovanadium (V) complexes, ethanol and water as starting materials. The thermal decomposition temperatures of AP in the presence of 1 wt.%, 3 wt.% and 6 wt.% of as-obtained VO 2 (B) nanobelts were reduced by 39°C, 62°C and 74°C, respectively. The results indicated that VO 2 (B) nanobelts had a great influence on the thermal decomposition temperature of AP. Furthermore, the influence of the corresponding V 2 O 5 , which was obtained by thermal treatment of VO 2 (B) nanobelts, on the thermal decomposition of AP was also investigated. The results showed that VO 2 (B) nanobelts had a greater influence on the thermal decomposition temperature of AP than that of V 2 O 5 .
