[Active oxygen species of Co-V-O catalysts in propane oxidative dehydrogenation analyzed by FTIR and XPS spectra].
A series of Co-V-O (meta-CoV2O6, pyro-Co2 V2 O7, and ortho-Co3 V2 O8) catalysts were prepared by microwave oxalate co-precipitation method and characterized by (XRD), TEM, BET, FTIR, XPS, H2-TPR and conductivity measurement. The catalytic characters of the catalysts for propane oxidative dehydrogenation were investigated. The FTIR spectra of catalysts were obtained in the range of 400-1 100 cm(-1) and their major bands were assigned. The peak separation fitting of O(1s) XPS spectra was carried out and the quantity of oxygen species was calculated. The results of XRD characterization showed that pure meta-CoV2O6, pyro-Co2 V2O7, and ortho-Co3 V2O8 with nice structure were obtained. The TEM images demonstrated that the catalysts showed uniform particle with the mean particle size of 20-30 nm. The diagram of the relationship between electrical conductivity and oxygen partial pressure of Co3V2O8 and Co2 V2O7 showed dsigma/dPo2 > 0, which implied that these were p-type semiconductor, and CoV2O6 reverse showed dsigma/dPo2 < 0, which implied n-type semiconductor. 48.12%, 47.82% and 35.24% of C3 H6 selectivities were obtained for p-type semiconductor Co3 V2O8, CO2 V2O7 and n-type CoV2O6 catalysts respectively at 10% C3H6 conversion, and the results showed that p-type semiconductor catalysts Co3 V2O8 and Co2 V2O7 showed higher activity than n-type catalyst CoV2O6. The results of FTIR, XPS, H2-TPR and conductivity measurement indicated that transferring between non-stoichiometric and lattice oxygen that easily happened in Co3 V2O8 and Co2 V2O7 catalysts might promote the oxidation-reduction reaction between different valence vanadium species, and promoted the oxygen vacancy formation. Furthermore, the forming of Co-O-V bridge bond that was easy to shift between Co and V increased the mobile oxygen species of O2-, O2(2-) and O- and made the redox reaction among different valence V be realized. It is concluded that high catalytic properties of p-type semiconductor Co3 V2O8 and Co2 V2O7 can be attributed to the abundant oxygen species O- that existed in these catalysts.
