Hydrothermal synthesis of a new Mo-V-O complex metal oxide and its catalytic activity for the oxidation of propane
Preparation of a new orthorhombic Mo-V-O catalyst was succeeded by hydrothermal synthesis for the first time. This orthorhombic structure showed high activity for propane oxidation. Selectivity to acrylic acid dramatically increased by the introduction of Te into the orthorhombic Mo-V-O catalyst.
