Characterization of the Synthesis and Reactivity Behavior of Nanostructured Vanadia Model Catalysts using XPS and Vibrational Spectroscopy

چکیده
Nanostructured vanadia model catalysts, i.e. highly dispersed vanadium oxide supported on mesoporous silica SBA-15 (VOx/SBA-15), were prepared. The mechanism for the synthesis of VOx/SBA-15 was elucidated by detailed characterization of the individual synthesis steps using XPS and vibrational spectrocopy. The resulting surface vanadium oxide species (0 – 2.3 V/nm), grafted on the inner pores of the SBA-15 silica matrix, consists of tetrahedrally coordinated vanadia as inferred from UV-VISand Raman spectroscopy. The prepared vanadia model catalysts were tested in the partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde yielding high formaldehyde selectivities of 94% at 350oC. XPS and Raman analysis of the catalyst after reaction reveal the presence of methoxy as well as a significant amount of carbonaceous species on the surface. Our results demonstrate that a detailed understanding of partial oxidation reactions requires the combination of complementary spectroscopic techniques ultimately within one experimental set-up.

Vanadium oxide surfaces and supported vanadium oxide nanoparticles
The information obtained from the characterization of vanadium oxide single crystal surfaces is related to the study of vanadia nanoparticles supported on silica and alumina thin films, model systems for the so-called ‘‘supported monolayer vanadia catalysts’’. It is found that these particles have properties similar to V2O3 surfaces, where the topmost V ions are involved in vanadyl groups and h...

متن کاملReactivity of monolayer V2O5 films on TiO2(110) produced via the oxidation of vapor-deposited vanadium
The growth, and reactivity of monolayer V2O5 films supported on TiO2(110) produced via the oxidation of vapor-deposited vanadium were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). Oxidation of vapor-deposited vanadium in 10-7 Torr of O2 at 600 K produced vanadia films that contained primarily V+3, while oxidation in 10-3 Torr at 400 K produced...
