ABSTRACT Vanadium oxide nanostructures were synthesized using NTP as a carrier through soft-chemical method. The influence of calcination temperature on the phase and morphology of obtained pristine product were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD ), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cyclic voltammogram studies were conducted to examine the electrochemical performance of cathodes made of vanadium oxide nanostruc- tures. X-ray diffraction results show that, the particle size of the nanomaterials is increases with the increasing of cal- cination temperature.
