Journal ArticleDOI
Surface electronic structure-catalytic activity relationship of partially reduced WO3 bulk or deposited on TiO2
TL;DR: In this paper, the reduction process of WO3 as bulk or supported on TiO2 was used for the isomerization of n-pentane and 1-pentene to isopentane.
Journal ArticleDOI
The catalytic active sites in partially reduced MoO3 for the hydroisomerization of 1-pentene and n-pentane
H. Al-Kandari,F. Al-Kharafi,Nouria A. Al-Awadi,Osman M. E. El-Dusouqui,Syed A. Ali,A. Katrib +5 more
TL;DR: In situ characterization by XPS and UPS of bulk commercial MoO 3 and the equivalent five atomic layers of MoO3 deposited on TiO 2 before and following the reduction by hydrogen at different temperatures led to the identification of the chemical species on the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic reactions of methylcyclohexane (MCH), on partially reduced tungsten oxide(s)
TL;DR: In situ XPS-UPS characterization of bulk WO 3 following the exposure of the sample to hydrogen at different temperatures up to 773 K enabled to define the reduction conditions at which each of the different W 2 O 5 and WO 2 phases could be obtained as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The catalytic reactions of n-pentane and 1 -pentene on different molybdenum oxides and metal surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed catalytic reactions of n-pentane and 1-pentene as a function of reaction temperature, on different molybdenum oxides and metal surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface electronic structure-catalytic activity correlation of partially reduced molybdenum oxide(s) for the isomerization of light alkenes and alkanes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used surface XPS-UPS techniques to analyze the surface electronic structure correlation of catalytic activity-surface electronic structure correlations for 1-pentene and n-pentane.
