In the present work pure phase vanadium oxide VO2 nanoparticled films were synthesized using acetate based sol-gel precursors. The effect of the water: Vanadyl acetylacetonate ratio on electrochemical and structural properties of nanostructured vanadium oxide films was examined. The X-ray diffraction studies indicated that very strong crystallization of the VO2 monoclinic phase occurred for the as-deposited films at the annealing temperature of 500 degrees C. According to the atomic force microscopy ...
