Activation of bulk MoO3 catalysts by spray reaction method for propene photometathesis reaction
Photometathesis of C3H6 proceeded on the sprayed MoO3 catalyst under UV irradiation with wavelength <290 nm. The photoactivity on the spray catalyst was 20-fold higher than that on the commercial MoO3. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed the anisotropic growth of the crystal in the spray catalyst. The edge-rich structure was formed in the bulk molybdenum oxide by spray reaction technique.
