In this paper we describe the characterization and catalytic performances in the reaction of ODH of propane over new nanostructured membrane catalysts composed of vanadium species supported on different metal oxides (Al2O3, Nb2O5, TiO2), which have been fabricated using the combination of AAO and atomic layer deposition (ALD). [3] The aim of this study is to determine the role played by the nanostructured materials and the nature of the support oxide on the reactivity of these AAO membrane catalysts in terms of activity and selectivity to propylene.
