Popis: The growth, and reactivity of monolayer V 2 O 5 films supported on TiO 2 (1 1 0) produced via the oxidation of vapor-deposited vanadium were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). Oxidation of vapor-deposited vanadium in 10 −7 Torr of O 2 at 600 K produced vanadia films that contained primarily V 3+ , while oxidation in 10 −3 Torr at 400 K produced films that contained primarily V 5+ . The reactivity of the supported vanadia layers for the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde was studied using TPD. The activity for this reaction was found to be a function of the oxidation state of the vanadium cations in the film.
