A High-Resolution Electron Microscopy Investigation of TiO2(B)-Supported Vanadium Oxide Catalysts
TiO2(B) crystals were found to be isomorphic with those of its precursor, K2Ti4O9. The former crystals had a large number of facetted voids, 3–30 nm, formed as a result of the removal of potassium and water in preceding hydrolysis and calcination steps, respectively. TiO2(B)-supported vanadium oxide catalysts with loadings in the range 0.25−10 theoretical layers were prepared by impregnation of th
