“…By analyzing the diffractograms, it is possible to verify that the catalyst 1.0% Fe/Nb 2 O 5 , 0.5% Fe/Nb 2 O 5 , and 1.5% Fe/Nb 2 O 5 samples calcined at 673K have a non-crystalline (amorphous) structure. Similar results were found for niobium samples at the same catalyst calcination temperatures from research conducted by Morais et al (2017) [26]. The diffractograms indicate that the TT-Nb 2 O 5 (ICDD00-028-0317) with the cell parameters a = b = 3.6070 Å, c = 3.9250 Å, and T-Nb 2 O 5 (ICDD00-027-1313) forms with the cell parameters a = 6.1680 Å, b = 29.3120 Å, and c = 3.9380 Å were obtained for the catalysts calcined at temperatures higher than 673 K. It was also observed that 1.0% Fe/Nb 2 O 5 , 1.7% Fe/Nb 2 O 5 calcined at 773 K and 0.5% Fe/Nb 2 O 5 , 1.5% Fe/Nb 2 O 5 calcined at 873 K and 1.0% Fe/Nb 2 O 5 calcined at 913 K showed a semi-crystalline structure, with crystallite sizes of 30,26,35,35, and 40 nm, respectively.…”
