According to recent research from Hanau, Germany, "The surface structure of vanadia supported oil zirconia is examined by density functional theory with periodic boundary conditions. Adsorption of V2O5 and H2O on the (101) and (001) surfaces of tetragonal zirconia is studied for different loadings UP to (V2O5)(4) or V2O5 center dot 6H(2)O per eight Zr surface sites (monolayer coverage)."
"The considered surface species include vanadia monomers, dimers, and polymers on water-free surfaces as well as different combinations of coadsorbed vanadia, hydroxyls, and water. Calculated vibrational spectra do not show unique features that could be used for identifying ...
