Abstract

Nb2O5/Al2O3 catalysts calcined at high temperatures exhibited the Brønsted acid property. A monolayer of niobic acid-like compound, which has distorted octahedral symmetry, was stabilized over 16 wt% Nb2O5/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at 1,173 K. The two-dimensional Nb–O–Nb network of stabilized niobic acid-like compound probably accounts for the generation of Brønsted acid.
