Vanadium trioxide

Vanadium trioxide (CAS 1314-34-7), also known as vanadium(III) oxide or V2O3, is an inorganic vanadium compound used primarily as a catalyst precursor and functional material in high-temperature industrial processes.

Where is Vanadium trioxide used?

• Vanadium chemical production and specialty electronic components: key intermediate
• Metallurgy: feedstock for ferrovanadium and other vanadium alloys
• Chemical synthesis: catalyst precursor whose controlled reduction to active vanadium species drives selective oxidation reactions
• Electronics: V2O3 thin films and powders for thermistors and switching devices, exploiting its metal-insulator transition
• It also serves as a starting material in the preparation of higher vanadium oxides, including vanadium pentoxide.

Commercial specifications

• Fine black or dark gray powder in technical and high-purity grades
• Purity levels range from 98% to 99.9%+
• High-purity grades available for electronics and research
• Packaging in multi-kilogram quantities up to bulk industrial supply, depending on grade and application requirements
