Abstract: A method for obtaining a coating of two-dimensional material on a surface includes the steps of: a) forming a dispersion by mixing a laminar material and at least one exfoliating agent in a first solvent; b) subjecting the dispersion formed in step a) to at least one treatment chosen from sonication, mechanical milling, and micronization, and obtaining a dispersion including a two-dimensional material; b1) optionally, subjecting the dispersion including the two-dimensional material obtained in step b) to one or more of (1) extraction with solvents, (2) centrifugation, (3) filtration, and (4) concentration; c) applying the dispersion obtained in step b) or b1) on a surface and obtaining a wet surface; d) drying the wet surface obtained in step c); and e) optionally, repeating steps c) and d). The dispersion does not include binding agents or adhesion promoters.

Abstract: Active vanadium/phosphorus mixed oxide catalyst for the conversion of non-aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g., n-butane, into maleic anhydride. The catalyst is prepared from the catalyst precursor, that is, prepared by the reaction of a source of vanadium in an organic medium in the presence of a phosphorus source. The organic medium is (a) isobutyl alcohol or a mixture of isobutyl alcohol and benzyl alcohol and (b) a polyol. The catalyst precurso is transformed into the active catalyst by an activation process that includes a heat treatment that includes applying a temperature of up to 600° C.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a vanadium/phosphorus mixed oxide catalyst precursor is described, comprising the reaction of a vanadium source in selected organic media in the presence of a phophorus source. The medium comprises: (a) isobutyl alcohol or a mixture of isobutyl alcohol and benzyl alcohol and (b) a polyol in the weight ratio (a) to (b) of 99:1 to 5:95. After its activation, the vanadium/phosphorus mixed oxide catalyst precursor is an excellent catalyst in the conversion of non-aromatic hydrocarbons like n-butane to malic anhydride.
