“…45 This indicates that the activity and selectivity of the V-based catalysts for ODP does not depend solely on their reducibility 6,43 but is influenced by other factors, for instance, the interaction with the support, 20,43 dispersion of the active phase, 29,46,47 V-O binding energy, 45 and acid-base properties. 48 Considering that α-NaVO 3 /1 and β-NaVO 3 /1 contain similar species, but show distinct catalytic activity (vide infra), we were interested to compare H 2 -TPR profiles of these two catalysts. A slightly lower T max was observed for the more active catalyst, β-NaVO 3 /1, as compared to α-NaVO 3 /1 (555 and 580°C, respectively, Fig.…”
