Photo-oxidation of cyclohexane over alumina-supported vanadium oxide catalyst
Alumina-supported vanadium oxide exhibited specific photocatalytic performance in the oxidation of cyclohexane to produce cyclohexanone. Higher loading of vanadium oxide (above 5 wt.%) on alumina support resulted in reducing activity, suggesting that the active species are stable isolated VO4 on alumina.
