Abstract: | The V4+ content in V2O5 doped with MoO3 is measured by a spectroscopic method. The influence of the oxygen pressure is also considered. Up to roughly 3.5 at.-% Mo/(Mo+V) the V4+ fraction is equal to the Mo6+ fraction for samples sintered in air. Increase of PO2 gives a decrease in the measured values of the V4+ fraction for the 5, 10 and 33 at.-% Mo-doped samples. |
