17O solid-state NMR studies of oxygen-containing catalysts

Oxygen-containing catalysts have a broad range of applications, and it is important to understand the structure–property relationships of these materials. In the past 30 years, 17O NMR spectroscopy, which is sensitive to the local structure of oxygen, has been used to study various catalysts, including non-framework oxides, zeolites, heteropoly acids, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The results from these studies have provided rich information on the structure and interactions of oxygen catalysts. This review summarizes significant progress in 17O solid-state NMR studies of oxides and related catalysts.

Graphical AbstractThis review focuses on the use of 17O solid-state NMR spectroscopy to study the structures of oxygen-containing catalysts and the interactions between the catalysts and adsorbed molecules.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
