Abstract

In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the interest in niobium oxides, among which Nb2O5 stands out. This interest is due to its enormous potential in several applications such as microalloys, thin films, medical implants, superalloys, superconductors, electrolytics, supercapacitors, electronics, batteries, electrodes, solar cells, among others. This chapter will address the different forms for synthesizing Nb2O5 nanostructure and the main characteristics and applications.
