The effectiveness of vanadium-based catalysts can be attributed to several factors:
Multiple Oxidation States: Vanadium can exist in several oxidation states (V2+ to V5+), facilitating various redox reactions. Thermal Stability: Vanadium oxides are thermally stable, making them suitable for high-temperature processes. Surface Area: Vanadium catalysts often have high surface areas, which increases the number of active sites available for reactions.
