In situ UV-visible assessment of extent of reduction during oxidation reactions on oxide catalysts.
The extent of reduction of active centers during oxidative alkane dehydrogenation on VOx/Al2O3 was measured from pre-edge UV-visible spectral features and found to increase with increasing VOx domain size and propane/O2 ratio.
