CAS 12036-21-4: Vanadium dioxide

Vanadium oxide is a compound that belongs to the group of unsaturated alkyl compounds. It has been shown to have potential use in analytical methods, such as for the determination of silver ions. Vanadium oxide absorbs UV radiation and transforms it into visible light. It also has kinetic, optical properties, and x-ray absorption properties. This compound undergoes a phase transition at high temperatures. The melting point of vanadium oxide is 3,600 degrees Celsius.

Vanadium (IV) oxide, 97% (99%-V)

Vanadium Oxide (VO2)

Vanadium(IV) oxide is used in chemical sensors, energy-conserving coatings, transparent conductors and switching materials. It acts as a stationary optical shutter, optical modulators, cameras and data storage. As infrared modulators, it is used for the missile guidance systems. Thin films made up of vanadium dioxide find applications in electro-optical switches, micro-optical switch, passive smart radiators and sunshields for spacecraft.
