Abstract
Uniform anodic vanadium tetroxide films of controlled thickness have been grown on vanadium in acetic acid‐sodium tetraborate solutions containing small quantities of water. The film composition was established using Faraday's law and EPR and ATR spectroscopy. The anode reaction was found to be 100% efficient in the production of vanadium (IV) oxide. The lack of oxygen evolution was attributed to reduced water activity as a result of its interactions with the acetic acid. Information concerning the nature of the film was obtained.
