Divanadium pentoxide nanorods

The structure of the nanorods was γ-V2O5 including some stacking faults because the model particle used to fit the diffraction pattern was smaller than the size deduced by transmission electron microscopy measurements. As such, the production of γ-V2O5 nanorods using a reverse micelle technique was described. It was shown that the size of these nanorods can be tuned easily by keeping the freshly made nanorods in the micellar solution.
