Abstract
Molecular metal oxides, so-called polyoxometalates (POMs), have shown outstanding performance as catalysts and lately attracted interest as materials in energy conversion and storage systems due to their capability of storing and exchanging multiple electrons. Here, we report the first example of redox-driven reversible electrodeposition of molecular vanadium oxide clusters, leading to the formation of thin films. The detailed investigation of the deposition mechanism reveals that the reversibility is dependent on the reduction potential. Correlating electrochemical quartz microbalance studies with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data gave insight into the redox chemistry and oxidation states of vanadium in the deposited films in dependence on the potential window. A multi-electron reduction of the polyoxovanadate cluster, which facilitates the potassium (K+ ) cation-assisted reversible formation of potassium vanadium oxide thin films was confirmed. At anodic potentials, re-oxidation of the polyoxovanadate and complete stripping of the thin film is observed for films deposited at potentials more positive than -500 mV vs. Ag/Ag+ , while electrodeposition at more negative cathodic potential reduces the electrochemical reversibility of the process and increases the stripping overpotential. As proof of principle, we demonstrate the electrochemical performance of the deposited films for potential use in potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Decavanadate is a polyoxometalate (POMs) that has shown extensive biological activities, including antidiabetic and anticancer activity. Importantly, vanadium-based compounds as well as antidiabetic biguanide drugs, such as metformin, have shown to exert therapeutic effects in melanoma. A combination of these agents, the metformin-decavanadate complex, was also recognized for its antidiabetic effects and recently described as a better treatment than the monotherapy with metformin enabling lower dosage in rodent models of diabetes. Herein, we compare the effects of decavanadate and metformin-decavanadate on Ca2+-ATPase activity in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscles and on cell signaling events and viability in human melanoma cells. We show that unlike the decavanadate-mediated non-competitive mechanism, metformin-decavanadate inhibits Ca2+-ATPase by a mixed-type competitive-non-competitive inhibition with an IC50 value about 6 times higher (87 μM) than the previously described for decavanadate (15 μM). We also found that both decavanadate and metformin-decavanadate exert antiproliferative effects on melanoma cells at 10 times lower concentrations than monomeric vanadate. Western blot analysis revealed that both, decavanadate and metformin-decavanadate increased phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and serine/threonine protein kinase AKT signaling proteins upon 24 h drug exposure, suggesting that the anti-proliferative activities of these compounds act independent of growth-factor signaling pathways.
