Electrón Microscopy Studies Of VPO and New NbPO-VPO Catalyst

Abstract

A new family of vanadium phosphorus oxides (VPO) catalysts has been identified. It consists of the preparation of the phase VOHP0₄,0.5H₂0 where a well-crystallized NbP0₄ ís introduced. Electrón mícroscopy, in a conjunction with other techniques (XFR, XDR, and BET) has been used to understand the link between catalytic performance and microstructural interactions of vanadium phosphate and niobium phosphate phases in NbPO-VPO catalyst
