Binary mixed metal oxides

Binary Mixed Metal Oxides to Quaternary Metal Oxides... 

In the present chapter, which deals with theoretical concepts applied to vanadium and molybdenum oxide surfaces, we will restrict the discussion to binary oxide systems. So far, mixed metal oxide systems have not been studied by quantitative theory. Theoretical methods that have been used to study oxide surfaces can be classified according to the approximations made in the system geometry where two different concepts are applied at present, local cluster and repeated slab models. Local cluster models are based on the assumption that the physical/chemical behavior at selected surface sites can be described by finite sections cut out from the oxide surface. These sections (surface clusters) are treated as fictitious molecules with or without additional boundary conditions to take the effect of environmental coupling into account. Therefore, their electro-... 

Colloidal Pt/RuO c- (C5 0.4nm) stabilized by a surfactant was prepared by co-hydrolysis of PtCU and RuCls under basic conditions. The Pt Ru ratio in the colloids can be between 1 4 and 4 1 by variation of the stoichiometry of the transition metal salts. The corresponding zerovalent metal colloids are obtained by the subsequent application of H2 to the colloidal Pt/Ru oxides (optionally in the immobilized form). Additional metals have been included in the metal oxide concept [Eq. (10)] in order to prepare binary and ternary mixed metal oxides in the colloidal form. Pt/Ru/WO c is regarded as a good precatalyst especially for the application in DMECs. Main-group elements such as A1 have been included in multimetallic alloy systems in order to improve the durability of fuel-cell catalysts. PtsAlCo.s alloyed with Cr, Mo, or W particles of 4—7-nm size has been prepared by sequential precipitation on conductant carbon supports such as highly disperse Vulcan XC72 [70]. Alternatively, colloidal precursors composed of Pt/Ru/Al allow...

It is often desirable to deposit films that possess more complex stoichiometries. These films may include mixed-metal, and binary/temary metal oxides and sulfides that are of importance for emerging applications for catalysis and microelectronics. 

This section deals with the research studies carried out over binary and mixed metal oxides for ODH during the past few years. Initially, the ODH of ethane is considered followed by theODHofpropane, and Anally the ODH of butanes. The ODH of butane is further subdivided into the ODH of -butane and ODH of isobutane. 

In principle, the synthetic approaches presented in this chapter are not only valid for Si/Ti binary oxides but can also be transferred (with the necessary adaptations) to other mixed metal oxide systems. 

Bulk and supported mixed oxide compositions, from binary metal oxides to quaternary metal oxides, consist in general of large crystalline phases possessing low surface area values (typically from 1 to 10m g ). Examples of oxides of this type of catalytic relevance are V-Nb-0, Mo-Nb-O, Co-Ti-0, Ni-Ti-0, etc. The acid-base properties of mixed metal oxides have been found to change with the nature of the constituents and their relative concentrations, preparation (co-precipitation and sol-gel synthesis among are the most popular methods used), and pre-treatments procedures. Appropriately choosing the mentioned variables, mixed oxides can be used to prepare catalysts with the desired-acid-base characteristics.
