Abstract
Nb2O5 supported on SiO2Al2O3 were prepared with a wide loading range 2 5 10 15 20 and 25 mass and analyzed by simultaneous thermogravimetric TG and differential thermal analysis DTA The materials presented a phase transition close to 1364°C This phase transition was studied by XRD FTIR and Raman spectroscopy Amixture of orthorhombic T andmonoclinic H andM crystalline phases was evidenced in the supported samples which is coverage dependent in contrast to the formation of only the monoclinic phase H and M when pure Nb2O5 is heated under the same conditions These results indicate the stabilization of Nb2O5 on silicaalumina surface
