A novel one-dimensional (1D) V2O3@carbon nanocomposite has been successfully synthesized for the first time. In the synthesis procedure, the previously obtained V2O5·xH2O nanobelts act as template. By coating the nanobelts with a layer of polymerized C species under hydrothermal conditions followed...
