Abstract
The local structure of V oxide/ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by the solid-state reaction of the ZSM-5 zeolites having different Si/Al ratios have been investigated by means of in situ photoluminescence spectroscopy in combination with other spectroscopic techniques such as UV−Vis, solid-state NMR, and ESR. It was found that vanadyl ions are present as tetrahedrally coordinated V5+ species bonded to terminal Si−OH groups and square pyramidally coordinated VO2+ species at the zeolite cationic sites for zeolites having a low Si/Al ratio (Si/Al = 20). On the other hand, for a high Si/Al ratio (Si/Al = 950), only the tetrahedrally coordinated V5+ species can be observed. UV irradiation of the V oxide/ZSM-5 catalyst in the presence of NO was found to lead to the photocatalytic decomposition of NO into N2, O2, and N2O. The increase of efficiency was found to be more remarkable on the V oxide/ZSM-5 catalyst with a high Si/Al ratio than with a low Si/Al ratio. The photoluminescence spectrum of the V oxide/ZSM-5 catalys...
