A “grafting” method for creating new polymer/V 2 O 5 /carbon structures with nanodimensions results in materials that are chemically tailored to exhibit fast ion/electron transport. The rate responses are high enough to be of interest in applications such as lithium batteries and supercapacitors, and the concept is applicable to a variety of materials. The picture shows the atomic force microscopy image of V 2 O 5 /C‐PEG nanoparticles on a mica surface. C‐PEG=polyethylene glycol functionalized carbon.
