Preparation, characterization and catalytic behavior of M₀VTₑNbOₓ catalysts prepared by reflux method

MoVTeNbOx catalyst was prepared using reflux method at Mo:V:Te:Nb molar ratio of 1:0.3:0.16:0.12. In order to form the desired structure of orthorhombic M1 phase, three parameters considered were pH, number of washing and niobium source. The first two parameters were observed unsuccessful in f...
