Being single (crystalline): Four single‐crystalline‐phase Mo3VOx materials are utilized as catalysts for the partial oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid. The crystalline structure has a clear effect on catalytic performance. Mo3VOx with a trigonal crystalline structure is the most efficient catalyst: 99.8 % conversion with 93.9 % selectivity for acrylic acid is obtained at a temperature (217.3 °C) much lower than that previously reported.
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.
