Popis: | Hexagonal molybdates (h-MoO3) include abundant Mo vacancies that are charge-compensated by cations residing within one-dimensional channels. Hence, they present an intriguing structural motif for Mo catalysis which has been hardly explored for selective oxidation of olefins. We discovered that NH4+ and Ag+-exchanged h-MoO3 display surprisingly varied behavior during propylene oxidation. Acrolein and acrylonitrile are the main partial oxidation products with the latter forming due to NH4+ consumption. The catalytic activity more than doubles upon introduction of Ag+ which also enhances selectivity for the main products up to ∼60 %. Unexpectedly, the hexagonal frameworks transform into orthorhombic α-MoO3 40−60 °C below their reported stability limits already. In addition, Ag2Mo4O13 and Ag nanoparticles segregate in case of Ag+-containing h-MoO3 frameworks. The resulting Ag/Ag2Mo4O13/α-MoO3 composites catalyze propylene conversion into acrolein with even higher selectivity (∼80 %). Detailed analyses indicate that Ag2Mo4O13 drives formation of this oxygenate over these composites. |
