V2O5/TiO2 aerogels were made by a two-step sol-gel process characteriz
ed by surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction, Raman and infrared
spectroscopies and high resolution electron microscopy. Catalytic per
formance in the selective reduction of NO by propane was found to be s
ignificantly better than those of their homologues prepared by a conve
ntional method. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
