Abstract: α-Bi2MO3O12 and Nb-doped α-Bi2MO3O12 catalysts were studied by means of in situ ESR and XPS with Ar-ion sputtering.It was observed that the lattice oxygen diffusion and electron transition between Bi and Mo species in the catalyst during the redox cycle.Amodel for the redox mechanism in the catalyst was proposed.The substitution of small amount of Nb5+ for Mo6+ significantly enhances the redox rate due to forming oxygen vacancies caused by doping Nb5+ in α-Bi2MO3O12,which accelerates the transfer speeds of oxygen and electron in catalysts.
