Summary: The present work deals with evaluation of the catalytic properties of polyvanadate xerogels deposited on titanium dioxide (anatase). Xerogels of polyvanadates in the form of nanofibers were obtained by sol-gel method. The average sizes of polyvanadate nanoparticles in aqueous solution determined by DLS were equal to 7 and 50 nm. TEM results reveal the formation of nanostructured thin layers of polyvanadates on the surface of TiO 2 particles. The catalytic properties of polyvanadates deposited on the surface of anatase by impregnation method were studied with respect to decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and oxidation of o-xylene under mild conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
