Abstract
Vanadium oxide nanoparticles were produced with vanadium in a variety of oxidation states and with different crystalline lattice structures. These particles preferably have an average diameter of 150 nm or less with a narrow distribution of diameters. The particles manifest unique properties that result from the small particle size and correspondingly large surface area. A variety of the vanadium oxide nanoparticles can be produced by a versatile laser pyrolysis arrangement. These nanoparticles can be further processed to change the properties of the particles without destroying the nanoscale size of the particles.
