Temperature-programmed reduction of V2O5 and coprecipitated V2O5−TiO2 by hydrogen

Temperature-programmed reductions (TPR) with H₂ of both pure V₂O₅ and coprecipitated V₂O₅?TiO₂ systems with different titanium concentrations was performed. The original and the reduced samples following each TPR step were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Within the temperature range in which TPR analysis was carried out (100–600°C) the V₂O₅ phase was reduced in two or three steps, while no variation in the TiO₂ phase (anatase or rutile) was observed. In the first reduction step only superficial reduction of the oxides was detected. In the following steps, the H₂ reacted with oxygen atoms of the V=O and V?O?V bonds. This led to important changes in the structure and morphology of the system. The experimental evidence allowed the conclusion that titanium stabilizes certain phases of vanadium oxides in which vanadium appears as V(+4) or as a mixture of V(+4) and V(+5). Moreover, when moderate and high titanium concentrations were used, the reduction temperature of the bulk V₂O₅ decreased markedly.     

Electron microscopy of V2O5 microcrystals in the V2O5-NH3-H2O colloid system

Summary The formation of V₂O₅ fibrous microcrystals in the V₂O₅-NH₃-H₂O system has been investigated by electron microscopy. The morphology of these microcrystals is dependent on the concentration of the particular components in the colloidal system and on the time of aging. In some colloid systems the orientation of V₂O₅ fibrous crystals with their long axes parallel to one another is also possible. The microcrystal growth in these systems can be attributed to very effective conditions for the recrystallization of vanadium pentoxide crystals in equilibrium with ammonium vanadate in solution.With 3 figures     

V2O5负载量对V2O5/Al2O3氧化活化正庚烷催化裂解反应的影响

采用X射线衍射, 低温氮气吸脱附, 氨气程序升温脱附和吡啶吸附红外光谱分析方法对不同活性组分负载量V2O5/Al2O3的性质进行了表征. 根据表面VOx单元密度, 推测V2O5负载量为20%-25% (w)对应着V2O5/Al2O3表面达单层覆盖状态; V2O5的负载使Al2O3表面Lewis酸量减少, 并出现Br?nsted酸, 对应着氧化态VOx单元中的V―OH; 随着负载量的增加, Brφnsted酸量增加至负载量为20%时达到最大值. 对V2O5/Al2O3中活性组分负载量对其氧化活化正庚烷催化裂解反应的影响进行了考察. 结果表明, 在V2O5负载量为20%-25%时,V2O5/Al2O3的引入对正庚烷在HZSM-5平衡剂上催化裂解反应的促进作用最明显, 此时VOx单元在V2O5/Al2O3表面形成单层覆盖状态, 可提供最大量的表面晶格氧, 因而对正庚烷具有最强的氧化活化作用; V2O5负载量继续增加形成体相的V2O5和AlVO4, 不利于晶格氧参与正庚烷的转化, 因而反应性能有所下降.     

Phase diagram of V2O5-MoO3-Ag2O

Phase equilibria in the V₂O₅-Ag₂O system were investigated at a constant pressure of oxygen (0.2 atm) and the phase diagram found under these conditions was compared with the results of the authors who investigated the same system in vacuum and at an oxygen pressure of 1 atm. On the basis of all these results, an attempt was made to construct the hypothetical diagram of V₂O₅-Ag₂O-O₂.     

Electronic absorption spectra of V2O5

MO calculations of electronic structure and optical transitions for [VO_n]^{5 ?; 2n} (n = 4, 5, 6) clusters in V₂O₅ monocrystals have been carried out by means of the semiempirical CNDO CI method. Using the calculated results, a complete analysis of V₂O₅ optical data as available in the literature and as obtained in the electroreflectivity experiments presented in this paper is performed. An identification of optical transitions in a wide energy range is presented. The optical properties of vanadium pentoxide are shown to be due to the localized charge transfer electronic transitions in the clusters. The fine structure of optical spectra is connected with the covalent splittings of the vanadium 3d and oxygen 2p atomic levels.     

Reactivity of T-Nb2O5 or H-Nb2O5 towards V2O5. Synthesis in the solid state and properties of V4Nb18O55

The IR spectrum of V₄Nb₁₈O₅₅ has been compared with the IR spectra of selected niobates of known structures to show structural relations between these compounds. This comparison shows that V₄Nb₁₈O₅₅ has crystal structure related to T-Nb₂O₅, W16Nb18O94 and Ba₂NaNb₅O₁₅. On the other hand, reaction between V₂O₅ and H-Nb₂O₅ yields a solid solution of V₂O₅ in VNb₉O₂₅. It has been proposed two models of synthesized solid solution with formulas V_1+xNb_9-xO₂₅ or V_1+xNb₉O_25+5x/2.Independently of Nb₂O₅ polymorph, used for synthesis, the metastable compound VNbO5 cannot be synthesized in the solid state below 650°C      

Untersuchungen zum chemischen Transport der Vanadiumoxide V2O5, V3O7 und V6O13

Chemical transport of the vanadium oxides V₂O₅, V₃O₇, and V₆O₁₃ The suitability of water and some halogenating transport agents (NH₄Cl, NH₄Br, I₂) for the chemical transport (temperature gradient 850/750 K) of V₂O₅, V₃O₇, and V₆O₁₃ has been investigated. Transport rates for V₂O₅ and V₆O₁₃ could be measured and reproduced. The best transport agent for V₂O₅ is NH₄Cl or H₂O. For V₃O₇ a combination of the transport agents I₂/H₂O give the best results and for V₆O₁₃ the combination of NH₄Br/H₂O was most appropriate.     

负载型复合半导体V2O5-TiO2/SiO2表面V2O5和TiO2的相互修饰作用

 采用表面改性法制备了负载型复合半导体材料V2O5-TiO2/SiO2,并用X射线衍射、比表面积测定、拉曼光谱、程序升温还原和紫外-可见漫反射光谱等技术对固体材料的结构和光响应性能进行了表征. 结果表明,V2O5和TiO2在负载型复合半导体V2O5-TiO2/SiO2表面有相互修饰的作用. 一方面,V2O5能扩展TiO2的光响应范围,使TiO2的吸光区域由紫外光区拓宽至可见光区,从而提高了复合半导体对光能的利用率; 另一方面,TiO2则有助于提高V2O5在载体表面的分散程度,抑制VOx的聚合,减小V2O5的微晶尺寸,提高固体材料的能隙值和氧化还原能力.     

Phase equilibria in the V2O5-Cr2O3 system

The phase equilibria in the total range of component concentrations in the V₂O₅-Cr₂O₃ system up to 1000 °C were studied by means of phase powder diffraction and DTA. Two compounds exist in the system: CrVO₄, melting incongruently at 860±5 °C, and Cr₂V₄O₁₃, which decomposes in the solid state at 640±5 °C to CrVO_4(s) and V₂O_5(s). At 645±5 °C, CrVO₄ and V₂O₅ form a eutectic mixture with the CrVO₄ content not exceeding 2% mol.

Phase Equilibria in the V2O5-Sb2O4 System

Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were used to study phase equilibria, established in air in the V₂O₅-Sb₂O₄ system up to 1000°C. It has been found that there is a new phase =SbVO₅. The =SbVO₅ has been prepared by two methods: by heating equimolar mixtures of V₂O₅ and α-Sb₂O₄ in air and by oxidation of the known phase of rutile type obtained in pure argon at temperatures between 550 and 650°C. Thermal decomposition of =SbVO₅ in the solid state starts at 710°C giving off oxygen. The results provide a basis for constructing only a part of the phase diagram of the investigated system (up to 50.00 mol% Sb₂O₄). This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A catalytic oxidative esterification of aldehydes using V2O5-H2O2

[reaction: see text] Aldehydes, in the presence of methanol, undergo oxidative transformation to the corresponding esters upon treatment with catalytic amounts of vanadium pentoxide in combination with oxidant hydrogen peroxide. Mild reaction conditions, shorter reaction times, high efficiencies, cost-effectiveness, and facile isolation of the desired products make the present methodology a practical alternative.     

Electric field gradient calculation in V2O5

The electric field gradient at the ⁵¹V nucleus in V₂O₅ has been calculated by the Mulliken–Wolfsberg–Helmholtz method. In contrast to the results obtained from crystal field theory, covalency effects in the MO method are shown to give rise to a valence contribution comparable with the lattice contribution. The total electric field gradient correlates with NMR experiments and confirms the adequacy of the method of calculation used.     

Phase diagram of the V2O5-MoO3-Ag2O system

Steady-state photocatalytic epoxidation of propene by O2 over V2O5SiO2 photocatalysts

A silica-supported, lowly loaded vanadium oxide (V2O5/SiO2) photocatalyst promotes the photocatalytic epoxidation of propene with O2 at steady state in a flow reactor system. Very little deep oxidation of propene into CO2 takes place over V2O5/SiO2, in contrast to the results obtained over a TiO2 photocatalyst in which total oxidation is the main path. With each loading, the sums of the selectivities into propene oxide (PO) and propanal (PA) at steady state were almost the same. The monomeric VO4 tetrahedral species dispersed on SiO2 yield PO under UV irradiation. The less dispersed vanadium oxide species on SiO2 promote the isomerization of PO into PA. We utilized a flow reactor system in which the short contact time reduced the isomerization and resultant decomposition of PO over the catalyst surface.
