Selective ammoxidation catalysts for such reactions as conversion of toluene to benzonitrile or propylene to acrylonitrile were prepared by a sol-gel method from V₂O₅, Sb₂O₃ and high purity hydrogen peroxide. Preparation of new stabilized, oxide ion-conducting, bismuth vanadate phases by a microwave assisted method, fromV₂O₅, Bi₂O₃ and other solid oxides, was reported. These ceramics show promise in solid oxide fuel cells, water-vapor electrolyzers and oxygen sensors.
