Small amounts of silver ions have been found to significantly enhance the growth rate of vanadium pentoxide (V(2)O(5)) nanofibres in aqueous solution at room temperature, yielding fibres with lengths of several micrometers within a few days; the V(2)O(5) fibres are decorated with silver nanoparticles with sizes in the range of 5-15 nm, which opens perspectives for applications in chemical sensors.
