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 (V₂O₅)-based nanomaterials for these promising applications, especially regarding the merits of different synthetic methods, structures and properties combined with recent research frontiers in advanced energy storage, including batteries, supercapacitors and like. The high capacity, high rate and flexibility of 1D V₂O₅-based nanomaterials endow them with great potential in high-energy-density, high-power energy devices and specific/harsh environments. Finally, the directions and suggestions are provided for further development of this emerging and promising field.
