Abstract

The development of catalyst is making the interest of researchers towards its synthesis.  Vanadium pentoxide/titanium dioxide catalyst is the most important catalyst used in many industrial reactions like   oxidations of aromatics, alkanes, and the catalytic reduction of NOx etc.  Various methods for synthesis of vanadium pentoxide/titanium dioxide are available employing impregnation, adsorption from solution, chemical vapor deposition, co-precipitation, and the Sol-Gel method have been studied. The detail study of these synthesis techniques reveals that Sol-Gel method is most suitable method for synthesis of V2O5/TiO2 catalyst. This method is nontoxic, environmental friendly, economical and simplest experimental setup. It has been studied that the properties of V2O5/TiO2 catalyst depend upon its preparation procedure. V2O5/TiO2 has been reviewed to study the redox properties, structural analysis, absorption & emission, elemental information, paramagnetic behavior and surface area of catalyst by using temperature programmed reduction, solid state NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron spin resonance and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller BET techniques respectively. This review focuses on V2O5/TiO2 synthesis and its characterizations.
