Abstract: Surface sensitive x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is compared to bulk sensitive electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) studies of vanadium oxide nanotubes, which are synthesized via sol-gel route. The obtained spectra have helped in distinguishing single-wall from multiwall [V.sub.2][O.sub.5] nanotubes.
