In this chapter, we focus on the importance of nanoarchitecture in determining the electrochemical properties of transition metal oxide aerogels. After a brief introduction to aerogels and their synthesis methods we give an overview of the electrochemical characterization techniques employed when dealing with nanostructures. This chapter concludes with a case study on how aerogel nanostructures have improved the electrochemical properties of vanadium pentoxide.
