Nanosheet-assembled hierarchical V2O5 hollow microspheres are successfully obtained from V-glycolate precursor hollow microspheres, which in turn are synthesized by a simple template-free solvothermal method. The structural evolution of the V-glycolate hollow microspheres has been studied and explai...
