Coherent interfaces: Efficient boundary conditions in solid state reactivity. Study in V2O5AlNbO4, V2O5GaNbO4, and V2O5TiNb2O7 systems

The thermodynamically unexpected reduction of V₂O₅ in the presence of the mixed oxides AlNbO₄, GaNbO₄, and TiNb₂O₇ under nitrogen at 630°C is reported and gives a supplementary example of the kind of interfacial reaction observed in the V₂O₅TiO₂ system. It is shown that this phenomenon comes from the establishment of coherent interfaces between the cleavage planes of two crystals belonging to the same crystallo-chemical family. The reduction enables the system to diminish the elastic stress created by the slight interfacial misfit. A thermodynamic and kinetic explanation, based on structural factors, is given.     

Phase equilibria in the system V2O3Ti2O3TiO2 at 1473°K

The phase equilibria in the V₂O₃Ti₂O₃TiO₂ system have been determined at 1473°K by the quench method, using both sealed tubes and controlled gaseous buffers. For the latter, $\text{CO}{}_2\text{H}{}_2$ mixtures were used to vary the oxygen fugacity between 10^?10.50 and 10^?16.73 atm. Under these conditions the equilibrium phases are: a sesquioxide solid solution between V₂O₃ and Ti₂O₃ with complete solid solubility and an upper stoichiometry limit of (V, Ti)₂O_3.02; an M₃O₅ series which has the V₃O₅ type structure between V₂TiO₅ and V_0.69Ti_2.31O₅ and the monoclinic pseudobrookite structure between V_0.42Ti_2.58O₅ and Ti₃O₅; series of Magneli phases, V₂Ti_n?2O_2n?1Ti_nO_2n?1, n = 4–8; and reduced rutile phases (V, Ti)O_2?x, where the lower limit for x is a function of the $\text{V}\text{(V + Ti)}$ ratio. The extent of the different solid solution areas and the location of the oxygen isobars have been determined.     

Photocatalytic properties of mixed tio2/v2o5 films in water purification at varying ph

Summary Thin TiO₂ and TiO₂/V₂O₅ films are first deposited by dip coating from alcohol suspensions. The TiO₂/V₂O₅ films show somewhat better photocatalytic destruction of methylene blue in water than TiO₂ films.     

Effect of the extent of reduction of V2O5 on the adsorption of propylene and the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to give propylene on V2O5 and V2O5/TiO2-SiO2

An increase in the propylene output in the oxidative dehydration of propane on V₂O₅/TiO₂-SiO₂ was observed after prior reduction of V₂O₅ in the reaction mixture to V₂O₄, which reduces the destructive chemisorption of propylene. A low titanium dioxide content in TiO₂-SiO₂ hinders the deep reduction of V₂O₅ to V₂O₃, which reduces the conversion of propane. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 43, No. 6, pp. 373–378, November–December, 2007.     

V2O5-TiO2复合半导体光催化材料结构及光响应性能研究

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了V₂O₅-TiO₂复合半导体材料，通过Raman、XRD及UV-Vis DRS等实验方法研究了V₂O₅与TiO₂复合对材料表面组成、晶体结构以及光响应性能的影响。结果表明：钒加入后优先与TiO₂作用形成较为稳定的金红石型TiVO₄晶相，其中V⁴⁺是促进TiO₂发生相变的关键；随着钒加入量的增加，V₂O₅由表面高分散状态逐渐聚集形成晶相，并释放部分Ti⁴⁺使之形成锐钛矿型TiO₂晶相，使得体相中金红石型TiO₂的含量有所下降；复合后形成的TiVO₄晶相显著提高了材料对可见光的吸收率，并使其吸光域红移至460 nm左右。     

The compound Cr2TiO5 in the system Cr2O3TiO2

The compound Cr₂TiO₅ could be synthesized as a stoichiometric single phase above 1660°C in air. Application of selected area electron diffraction, high resolution electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction studies showed that Cr₂TiO₅ is isomorphous with CrFeTiO₅, with V₃O₅ type structure. It is monoclinic, a = 7.020(1)Å, b = 5.025(1)Å, c = 9.945(2)Å and β = 111.43(2)°. It was found that Cr₂TiO₅ is unstable relative to a mixture of Cr₂O₃ (ss) and a so-called “E” phase, below 1660°C.     

Phase diagram and infrared-spectral investigation of the 2TeO2 · V2O5-Na2O · V2O5 · 2TeO2 system

The phase diagram of the 2TeO₂ · V₂O₅-Na₂O · V₂O₅ · 2TeO₂ system is studied by X-ray diffraction, ir spectroscopy, and DTA. A new compound with a composition of Na₂O · 3V₂O₅ · 6TeO₂ is established. The ir spectra of the alkaline trivanadates are interpreted. They are considered as structural analogs of the new phase. As a result of this comparison, the postulate is made that the main structural units in the Na₂O · 3V₂O₅ · 6TeO₂ compound are V₂O₈ groups, while tellurium is present both in the TeO₃ and TeO₄ groups. Contrary to the crystal phases, in glasses the transition from VO₅ toward VO₄ does not proceed through the formation of new structural units of vanadium; but rather a gradual transition of the structure is observed with a change in the composition from 2TeO₂ · V₂O₅ to Na₂O · V₂O₅ · 2TeO₂.     

A new monoclinic phase in the Fe2O3TiO2 system. I. Structure determination and Mössbauer spectroscopy

Single crystals with compositions within the Fe₂O₃TiO₂ system were grown from a flux containing various amounts of the basic oxides. Apart from the known pseudobrookite (Fe₂TiO₅) and rutile (TiO₂) structures, a new monoclinic polytype of Fe₂TiO₅ was found, which was isostructural with V₃O₅. The structure was determined by X-ray analysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy contributed data on hyperfine parameters and the magnetic ordering temperature.

掺杂钒和硅对TiO2薄膜超亲水性的影响

0引言 TiO2薄膜是众多氧化物半导体薄膜中研究最为广泛的一种材料．其表面的超亲水性和表面自清洁效应开辟了光催化薄膜功能材料的新的研究领域，已成为众多研究者研究的对象。但是如果薄膜仅由TiO2组成，当光照停止，水在TiO2薄膜表面的润湿角逐渐升高．并恢复原始状态。TiO2的禁带较宽，普通光线如太阳光等都不能将其激发．限制了其实际应用。因此如何使TiO2材料的光谱响应范围由紫外光反扩展到可见．光区一日如何更长时间地保持薄膜良好的亲水性是目前研究的重点。     

Phase relations in the pseudobinary system TiO2Ga2O3

Phase relations and microstructures in the TiO₂-rich part of the TiO₂Ga₂O₃ pseudobinary system have been determined at temperatures between 1373 and 1623°K using X-ray diffraction and electron and optical microscopy. The phases occurring in the system are TiO₂ (rutile), β-Ga₂O₃, a series of oxides Ga₄Ti_m?4O_2m?2 (m odd) which exist above 1463°K, and Ga₂TiO₅, which exists above 1598°K. The width of the phase region occupied by the Ga₄Ti_m?4O_2m?2 phases varies with temperature. At 1473°K it is narrow, and has limits of Ga₄Ti₂₅O₅₆ to Ga₄Ti₂₁O₄₈ while at higher temperatures it broadens to limits of from Ga₄Ti₂₇O₆₀ to Ga₄Ti₁₁O₂₈ at 1623°K. These phases are often disordered and crystals frequently contain partially ordered intergrowths of oxides with various values of m. On the TiO₂-rich side of the phase region there is a continuous change in texture from rutile to the end members of the Ga₄Ti_m?4O_2m?2 structures. The findings are summarized on a phase diagram.     

TiO2-Al2O3载体的制备方法对其负载的磷化镍催化剂加氢脱氮反应性能的影响

采用共沉淀法和原位溶胶-凝胶法制备了TiO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体,其负载的磷化镍催化剂采用等体积浸渍法和H₂原位还原法制备. 通过N₂吸附（BET）、X射线衍射（XRD）、透射电镜（TEM）、程序升温还原（TPR）,X射线光电子能谱（XPS）和等离子体发射光谱（ICP-AES）表征技术对催化剂进行了表征,并通过喹啉的加氢脱氮反应评价了催化剂的加氢脱氮性能. 结果表明,原位溶胶-凝胶法制成的复合载体基本保留了原有的γ-Al₂O₃的孔特征,具有较大的比表面积和较宽的孔分布,TiO₂主要以表面富集的形式分散在管状的γ-Al₂O₃表面,其负载的磷化镍催化剂还原后所形成的活性相为Ni₂P和Ni₁₂P₅;而共沉淀法制成的复合载体比表面积较小,孔径分布更加集中,TiO₂趋于在块状的Al₂O₃表面均匀分散,其负载的磷化镍催化剂具有更好的可还原性,还原后所形成的活性相为Ni₂P. 不同的载体制备方法和不同的钛铝比对催化剂加氢脱氮性能影响较大,当n（Ti）/n（Al）=1/8时,共沉淀法载体负载的催化剂表现出最佳的加氢脱氮性能,在340 ℃,3 MPa,氢油体积比500,液时空速3 h^-1的反应条件下,喹啉的脱氮率可以达到91.3%.     

Crystallography and phase relations of MeOM2O3TiO2 systems (Me = Fe,Mg, Ni; M = Al,Cr, Fe)

Subsolidus phase relations of ternary oxide systems containing divalent Fe, Mg, or Ni, trivalent Al, Cr, or Fe, and tetravalent Ti are characterized by solid solutions at metal/oxygen ratios $\text{3}\text{4}$, $\text{2}\text{3}$, and $\text{3}\text{5}$. At low temperatures only compounds with cubic or hexagonal close-packed oxygen and uniform oxygen coordination remain stable in the crystal structures NaCl, spinel, ilmenite-α-Al₂O₃, TiO₂. The pseudobrookite phases FeTi₂O₅, MgTi₂O₅, Al₂TiO₅, Fe₂TiO₅, the V₃O₅ structure phase Cr₂TiO₅, and the Andersson phases Cr₂Ti_n?2O_2n?1 (n = 4,6,7,8,9) decompose. Additional phases with close-packed oxygen as predicted by a simple structure model for metal/oxygen ratios $\text{7}\text{12}$, $\text{5}\text{6}$, and $\text{11}\text{12}$ do not form but presumably are important for nonstoichiometric solid solutions. Most differences between systems containing transition metals and the MgOAl₂O₃TiO₂ system can be attributed to crystal field effects.     

Phase relations of the Cr2O3TiO2 system

The phase relations of the system Cr₂O₃TiO₂ were determined at temperatures between 1400 and 1765°C in air. Discrete homologous series of Cr₂Ti_n?2O_2n?1, with n = 6, 7, 8, were found to be stable as single phases in the range of certain temperatures, while a continuous solid solution existed in the composition of n > 8 below 1425°C. This presence and its stable region of a new compound of Cr₂TiO₅ corresponding to n = 3 are revealed in the present paper. Cr₂Ti₂O₇, the so-called E phase, existed in wide homogeneity range, corresponding to the composition of approximately 3 < n < 5. High-temperature phases (called n and n′ phases in the present work) existed above 1425°C and seemed to be closely related to each other from the viewpoint of the structure except that some X-ray diffraction lines of n phase were strongly diffused. Both rutile and chromia had limited solid solubilities. In the present paper, phase relations between Cr₂O₃ and TiO₂ are summarized in a phase diagram.     

Relationship between sulfur dioxide oxidation and selective catalytic NO reduction by ammonia on V2O5?TiO2 catalysts doped with WO3 and Nb2O5

The performance of V₂O₅–TiO₂ catalysts doped by WO₃ and Nb₂O₅ in sulfur dioxide oxidation, and in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by ammonia has been studied. Addition of tungsten and niobium oxides was found to suppresses sulfur dioxide oxidation thus increasing the catalysts resistance to SO₂ poisoning and their activity in SCR.     

Influence of the grain morphology of V2O5 on its reduction-reoxidation behaviour

The influence of the grain morphology of V₂O₅ on its reduction-reoxidation behaviour has been investigated by means of thermoanalytical methods. X-ray analysis and electron microscopy. Well-developed V₂O₅ platelets exposing predominantly the (010) face exhibited a significantly different reduction profile than poorly defined agglomerates of microcrystalline V₂O₅. Intermediate phases detected during reduction were V₆O₁₃ and VO₂ (rutile). The corresponding reoxidation profiles were found to be only weakly dependent on the grain morphology of V₂O₃. Electron microscopy showed that the original grain morphology of the V₂O₅ samples was not influenced markedly by the reduction-reoxidation cycle.     

Metal-insulator transition in VnO2n−1

Research on phase relationships and structure studies by electron diffraction confirm V_nO_2n?1 (n = 3–9) phases between V₂O₃ and VO₂. Metal-insulator phase transitions have been found in all phases but V₃O₅ and V₇O₁₃. Electrical, magnetic and thermodynamic properties associated with the transitions are reported for sintered samples or for single crystals prepared by a vapor-transport method. The results are collated and reviewed in summarized form.     

Nonstoichiometry and defects in V2O3

The structural mechanism which accommodates nonstoichiometry in V₂O₃ was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The existence of distinct diffuse scattering was observed as the boundary of the homogeneity range was approached. The analysis of the diffuse scattering indicates the formation of one-dimensional microdomains in the c direction having a structure similar to VO₂. Orientation relations between V₂O₃ and V₃O₅ (which is formed from V₂O₃ by heat treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere) show that V₃O₅ is formed by redistribution of vanadium ions among the octahedral interstitial sites of common close-packed sublattice consisting of oxygen ions. Possible relations between the present observations and physical properties in nonstoichiometric V₂O_3+x are discussed.     

Mechanochemical reactions between Ag2O and V2O5 to form crystalline silver vanadates

Solid-state reactions between Ag₂O and V₂O₅ were studied under ball-milling conditions. Single-phase crystalline Ag₄V₂O₇ was formed from the mixture of Ag₂O and V₂O₅ of corresponding (2:1) composition. The main component in the product when the Ag₂O mole fraction is less than V₂O₅ is amorphous AgVO₃, which is crystallized into needle-like α-AgVO₃ in the presence of water. Excess V₂O₅ was hydrated into V₂O₅·nH₂O intercalated with Ag⁺ ions. The mixtures with more than two parts of Ag₂O relative to V₂O₅ are composite materials of Ag₄V₂O₇ and Ag₃VO₄, together with Ag₂O. The crystalline phases in these systems resist attack by water.     

Acidic properties of V2O5-WO3/ZrO2 catalysts

The adsorption of pyridine on V₂O₅−WO₃/ZrO₂ has been studied by FTIR. In V₂O₅/ZrO₂ (2 wt.%), the number of both Br?nsted and Lewis acidic sites increased with the addition of WO₃, while in V₂O₅/ZrO₂ (5 wt.%), Br?nsted sites increased and Lewis sites did not change.
