Silver vanadium oxide (SVO) and V2O5 nanowires have been hydrothermally synthesized. The as-made are over 30 µm long 10–20 nm in diameter. a layered structure with d-spacing of 1.07 nm. can be fabricated into free-standing flexible sheets by suction filtration. electrical conductivity the SVO is 0.5 S/cm, compared to 0.08 S/cm for nanowires. Li ion diffusion coefficient was 7 times higher than that An electrochromic device from displayed color-switching time 0.2 s bleached state (green) colored (red-brown) 60% transmittance contrast.
