ENG027 Vanadium Pentoxide Coatings to Enhance Mechanical Properties of Metallic Substrates at High-Stress Conditions

Abstract

In this work, vanadium pentoxide coatings were applied to metallic substrates and their effects on the overall mechanical behaviors of these substrates were determined and analyzed. The V₂O₅ coatings offer remarkable advantages in energy storage, smart windows, corrosion protection, sensing, catalysis, and thermoelectric applications. Various preparation methods, such as PVD, CVD, sol-gel, and electrochemical deposition, allow tailored coatings for specific industrial needs. While challenges remain, ongoing research promises further improvements, expanding the role of V₂O₅ coatings in next-generation engineering solutions. As industries seek sustainable and high-performance materials, V₂O₅ coatings will continue to play a pivotal role in advancing technology.
