“…To understand the correlation between structural and catalytic properties of dispersed vanadia, various techniques including infrared [16-18a,18b], Raman [19][20][21][22][23], UV-visible [16,17,20,24,25], solid-state 51 V NMR [21], and X-ray absorption spectroscopy [18,26] have been used. In several studies, XPS has been employed to study the dispersion and oxidation state of supported vanadia catalysts [27,28].…”
