Precursor decomposition was used for the preparation of VTeO/SBA-15 catalyst for the selective oxidation of propane to acrolein.The catalyst shows a better performance compared with those prepared by conventional impregnant method.A yield of 9.3% of acrolein was achieved with 2% V Ioadings at 500℃.XRD,N2-adsorption,H2-TPR,Py-IR and XPS measurements were used to unclose the relationship between the structure and performance of the catalyst.
