| Summary: | VOx/TiO2 catalysts with various theorical monolayer values have been prepared and used to study, for the first time, the effect of vanadium loading in the selective oxidation of glucose to formic acid. Monomeric or isolated vanadia species dominate at low loadings, evolving into polymeric chains at higher concentrations, while crystalline V2O5 is observed at loadings over the theoretical monolayer value. Their characterization by XRD, BET, ICP, DRIFTS, Raman, UV–vis, H2-TPR and NH3-TPD reveal distinct physicochemical characteristics influenced by the formed vanadia species, impacting sample acidity, reducibility, and catalytic activity. All catalysts exhibit significant activity, forming formic acid as the main product in the liquid phase and reaching a peak formic acid yield of 42 %. Post-reaction analysis reveals that the leaching-prone crystalline V2O5 compromises catalyst stability while isolated vanadia species demonstrate superior catalytic activity and leaching resistance. The findings of this study provide a strong basis for the development of a heterogeneous vanadia catalyst with improved interaction with the support. |
