Vanadium phosphorous oxide and its catalytic application

doi:10.11949/j.issn.0438-1157.20170997

Abstract

Abstract:

Vanadium phosphorous oxide (VPO) is an important complex oxide with excellent catalytic performances in many reactions such as selective oxidization of light alkanes and ammonium oxidation. Because VPO has quite complicated structures, its phase composition, surface morphology, and acidity are closely related to preparation methods, which affect VPO catalytic performance. Various VPO preparation methods were reviewed to systematically analyze structure, characteristics, and transformation of VPO crystals. Techniques to improve catalytic performance and recent progress were assessed especially. Major application, challenges, and future development of VPO catalysts were further discussed. Advanced in-situ characterization and theoretical simulation were used to explore structure-property relationship and novel synthesis methods of VPO catalyst. With facilitation of modern nanomaterial theory, high performance nanomicro-structured VPO catalyst could be developed.

Key words: mixed oxide, vanadium phosphorous oxide, catalyst, selective oxidation, maleic anhydride, catalysis, chemical reaction
