Deskripsi

Crystalline M1 phase of Mo-V-Te-Nb mixed oxide is an excellent catalyst for ethane oxidative dehydrogenation to ethene. Here, the authors show a method that synthesizes highly active materials by generating M1 crystals with corrugated terminations, thus exposing a large concentration of active sites.
