	abstract = {<p>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~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~mV/K to 0.9~mV/K and was zero with a G of 50{\%}; the electrical conductivity varied slightly from 5~(${\O}mega$m)-1 to 0.7~(${\O}mega$m)-1 while the mobility improved from 0.07~cm2/V~s to 1.5~cm2/V~s and the respective carrier concentration was reduced, from 1~{\texttimes}~1018~cm-3 to 4~{\texttimes}~1016~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.</p>
