The book includes discussion of the vanadium haloperoxidases and the biological and biochemical activities of vanadium(V), including potential pharmacological applications. The last chapters of the book step outside these boundaries by introducing some aspects of the future of vanadium in nanotechnology, the recyclable redox battery, and the silver/vanadium oxide battery. We enjoyed writing this book and can only hope that it will prove to provide at least a modicum of value to the reader.
