Abstract

V2O5 monolayer catalysts were prepared on ZrO 2 and ZrO2 doped with Y2O3 by two methods. The coverages obtained are only half a monolayer and did not depend on the preparation method or type of support. The selectivity for oxidation of methanol over these V2O5 catalysts changes from a predominance of formaldehyde to a predominance of methyl fomate when the support is doped with Y2O3, independent of the amount of Y 2O3.
