Discovery date, 1801. Discovered by, Andrés Manuel del Rio. Origin of the name, The element is named after 'Vanadis', the old Norse name for the Scandinavian goddess Freyja. read more

The vanadium redox battery exploits the ability of vanadium to exist in solution in four different oxidation states, and uses this property to make a battery that has just one electroactive element instead of two. read more

Vanadium (V) oxide (vanadium pentoxide or vanadic anhydride), V 2 O 5 The most stable, and therefore most common, form of vanadium oxide is vanadium (V) oxide, V 2 O 5. Vanadium (V) oxide nanoparticles are available are dispersed, high purity carbon coated and nanofluid. read more

I should really have said the vanadium oxides, because thanks to vanadium’s five valence electrons there are enough oxides to sound like a successful Hollywood franchise – vanadium (II) oxide, VO, vanadium (III) oxide, V 2 O 3, vanadium (IV) oxide, VO 2 and vanadium (V) oxide, V 2 O 5, without going into extra intermediate phases that can produce entertaining combos like V 6 O 13 and V 8 O 15. read more
