Abstract
Vanadium oxide nanotubes have recently been discovered as the main product of a sol-gel reaction that is followed by hydrothermal treatment in the pre sence of air, during which vanadium oxide sheets roll up, giving rise to th e scroll morphology visible in the Figure. The scrolls are highly flexible, permitting numerous exchange reactions, and can be aligned using micromold ing in capillaries.
