Feng et al. report an interesting route for the preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid materials based on decavanadates in this CrystEngComm HOT Article. The introduction of complex 1 (H4V10O28.(HMTA-CH2OH)2.6H2O) into mesoporous carbon foams was shown to improve the electrical behaviour of the foams – findings which could be applied to the preparation of catalyst supports and supercapacitors.
