“…Vanadium oxide nanotubes (VO x -NTs) have attracted considerable attention in the lasts years because of their potential importance for electrochemical applications, as catalyst systems [1], gas sensors [2,3], supercapacitors [4] and lithium batteries [5,6]. These nanostructures consist of vanadium oxide sheets with alternating layers of long-chain alkyl amines as surfactant, which bend to form one-dimensional tubular products [7][8][9].…”
