Uniform anodic vanadium tetroxide films of controlled thickness have been grown on vanadium in acetic acid-sodium tetraborate solutions containing small quantities of water. The film composition was established using Faraday's law and EPR and ATR spectroscopy. The anode reaction was found to be 100% efficient in the production of vanadium (IV)oxide. The lack of oxygen evolution was attributed to reduced water activity as a result of its interactions with the acetic acid. Information concerning the nature of the film was obtained.
