Does Vanadium Conduct Electricity?

The metal vanadium is used primarily in alloys to improve the properties of other metals like titanium and steel. ... A paper in Science reports that vanadium dioxide conducts electricity much better than it conducts heat. It's the first known violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law near room temperature.

Is vanadium a good conductor of electricity?

Vanadium dioxide is a good conductor of electricity but not of heat. Vanadium dioxide is already known to have unusual characteristics, and can convert from an insulator to a metal at 67 degrees Celsius. ... This is important in the conduction of heat, which occurs through metals by the random movement of electrons.

Which metal is not a conductor of electricity?
