Abstract

Abstract Mixed molybdenum oxides are widely used catalysts for propylene oxidation to acrolein or acrylic acid or for methanol oxidation in the gas phase. In the present study, however molybdenum oxides exhibited an epoxidation activity in the gas phase. To achieve this activity, the oxidation state, particle sizes and accessibility of molybdenum oxides are needed to be controlled. Such active molybdenum species can be prepared by PVD deposition of molybdenum nanorods and their subsequent oxidation in a controlled atmosphere. Accordingly, monoclinic MoO 2 particles with a diameter of
