RESUMO

Vanadium pentoxide xerogel has a bi-dimensional structure which is suitable for intercalation of a variety of ions, organic compounds, and even polymeric species. In addition, when associated with other metal oxides such as WO3 and MoO3, it presents an important role in catalysis, since the resulting oxides act as promoters in catalytic reduction of the NOx to NH3 and hydrocarbons oxidation. Besides, these oxides improve electrochemical and electrochromic properties, leading to their use in photochemical cells, cathodes and in solar energy cells. Among several metal oxides, hydrated tungsten oxide was chosen not only because of favor the acid dissociation of molecles but also because of its lamellar structure that allows intercalation reactions without affect significantly the original structure. In this context, V2O5/WO3 xerogel mixed oxides were synthesized and electrochemical properties as well as intercalation capacity were investigated. Concerning the electrochemical behavior, the best response was obtained for the mixed oxides with low concentration of WO3, whereas for the oxides with high amount of tungsten oxide, the lithium ions intercalation was not efficient. Cyclic voltammetric studies revealed that the electrochemical response of mixed oxide is similar to that found for the vanadium pentoxide xerogel. In addition, our results reveal the dependence of the electrochemical response on the nature of the supporting electrolyte. It was also verified that it is possible to intercalate aniline and surfactant molecules (N-cetyl-N,N,N,-trimethyl-ammonium bromide - CTAB), maintaining the bi-dimensional character. In this work, V2O5/WO3/SiO2 composite was prepared by sol-gel method. The methodology used enables the preparation of silica microspheres covered by V2O5/WO3 xerogel mixed oxides, retaining not only its structure but also the electrochemical properties. the catalytic activity evaluated in the oxidation of the styrene in liquidphase.
