Abstract—Nanotubes (NTs) of complex vanadium molybdenum oxide V_0.78Mo_0.22O_2.49(C₂H₃)_0.46 are pre-
pared from the (V_1.67Mo_0.33O₁₆ · nH₂O gel/PVA) composite (PVA stands for poly(vinyl alcohol)) by hydrother-
mal treatment for 30–50 h at 150–180°C. The outer tube diameters are 10–20 and 70–80 nm; the tube lengths
are no longer than 1 m. The X-ray photoelectron and IR spectra, electrical conductivity, and thermal properties
of the NTs are studied.
