Mo-V-Based Crystalline Complex Metal Oxide Catalysts

Mo-V-based crystalline complex metal oxide for selective oxidation is one of the most successful solid catalysts and is constructed with crystalline Mo3VOx phase as an essential active structure. This chapter introduces a relationship between crystal structure and catalytic oxidation activity of crystalline Mo3VOx catalysts that has a unique crystal structure and how the catalytic functions are generated and tuned in terms of crystal structure.
