TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes published data on catalytic performances of different vanadium-containing oxides, including unsupported and supported V2O5, vanadates, solid solutions and mixed phases, in the oxidative dehydrogenation of C2-C5 alkanes.

TL;DR: A series of oxidised copper-cerium nanostructured catalysts prepared by impregnation of copper over ceria supports synthesized by different methods (hydrothermal with varying preparation parameters, microemulsion/precipitation), in order to achieve different specific morphologies (nanocubes, nanorods and nanospheres), have been examined with respect to their catalytic properties for preferential oxidation of CO in excess H 2 (CO-PROX) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The effect of coating the SiO2 support of a V2O5oxidation catalyst with different amounts of TiO2 has been studied in this paper, showing that the highest dispersion was reached for the low TiO 2 coverages.

Abstract: Nanostructured cerium oxides, pure or doped with CaO, prepared from amorphous acetate precursors obtained by the freeze drying method, exhibit high surface areas and are active and selective catalysts for the oxydehydrogenation of ethane (ODE) using CO2as an oxidant. The incorporation of Ca into a solid solution in the ceria framework reduces the activity but improves markedly the selectivity to ethene and the efficiency of CO2. Under reaction conditions, the pure ceria was stable even at 1023 K, while the surface area of the Ca-containing sample decreased markedly. This change was accompanied by a drastic increase in the selectivity to ethene, allowing to obtain yields of ethene up to 22% with 91% selectivity.

TL;DR: In this article, a review and evaluation of the state-of-the-art of catalytic selective oxidation of higher fatty alcohols (C 10+ ) is presented to assess the feasibility of new green processes using biomass for the production of fine chemicals.
