Vanadium pentoxide is used as a catalyst for the production of sulfuric acid.
Vanadium oxide is used extensively as a catalyst in many industrial chemical reactions. It is also used in the following applications: In optical applications such as making of laser crystals. In nanofiber and nanowire applications.
Vanadium pentoxide, it is a brown/yellow solid, although when freshly precipitated from aqueous solution, its colour is deep orange. Because of its high oxidation state, it is both an amphoteric oxide and an oxidizing agent. From the industrial perspective, it is the most important compound of vanadium.
Vanadium pentoxide - used in vanadium redox batteries, which are used for energy storage in power facilities, such as wind farms.
Vanadium pentoxide - used as ceramics colorant, as dye and also as a detector material in bolometers in the field of thermal imaging.
