Abstract
A combination of X-ray and neutron PDF measurements with powder diffraction and EXAFS data was used to determine the structures of a V-Mo-Nb-oxide catalyst and its poorly crystallized precursors that exhibit the strongest catalytic activities. The crystalline material belongs to space group P (4) over bar2(1)m, a = 22.8, c = 4.002, and is build up of pentagonal MeO7 bipyramids surrounded by edge sharing Me-octahedrons (Me = Mo, V, Nb). In the average structure all MeO7 units are at the same z-level, while the local structure analysis shows systematic shifts along [001]. Samples synthesized at 300 degrees C and 400 degrees C exhibit a nanostructure, whose local structure predates the final crystalline structure. Initial nanoparticles are spherical and grow predominantly along the c-axis. The successful analysis required a reverse analysis that took the crystalline material as starting model for the samples synthesized at lower temperatures.
