	abstract = {The thermoelectric (TE) properties of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) alloyed with graphite (G) were studied as a function of its incorporation percentage. Variable weight percentages of graphite powder (0{\textendash}50\%) were added to V2O5 powder and their mixtures were evaporated by a thermal evaporation technique to form thin films with a thickness in the range of 30{\textendash}80{\^A}~nm. In the infrared wavelength region, the transmittance of the obtained films increased as the G percentage was increased, while in the visible range, it decreased with G up to 10\%. The TE properties were improved when G was in the range of 10{\textendash}30\%, while it decreased for the other percentages: Seebeck coefficient (S) changed from 0.6{\^A}~mV/K to 0.9{\^A}~mV/K and was zero with a G of 50\%; the electrical conductivity varied slightly from 5{\^A}~(Ωm)-1 to 0.7{\^A}~(Ωm)-1 while the mobility improved from 0.07{\^A}~cm2/V{\^A}~s to 1.5{\^A}~cm2/V{\^A}~s and the respective carrier concentration was reduced, from 1{\^A}~{\~A}\&$\#$151;{\^A}~1018{\^A}~cm-3 to 4{\^A}~{\~A}\&$\#$151;{\^A}~1016{\^A}~cm-3. These films were applied as temperature sensors evaluating the thermovoltage as a function of thermal gradient between two electrodes, in which one was maintained at room temperature. {\^A}{\textcopyright} 2016, The Minerals, Metals \& Materials Society.},
