This paper describes the effect of the preparation method of binary oxide supports (TiO2–Al2O3) on catalytic performance of V2O5/TiO2–Al2O3 catalysts for methanol selective oxidation to dimethoxymethane (DMM). The TiO2–Al2O3 supports are synthesized by a number of methods including mechanical mixing, ball milling, precipitation, co-precipitation, and sol–gel method, which is followed by incipient wetness impregnation to produce V2O5/TiO2–Al2O3 catalysts. Among these samples, the V2O5/TiO2–Al2O3 catalyst prepared by the sol–gel method has the best catalytic performance with a maximum methanol conversion of 48.9% and a high DMM selectivity of 89.9% at 393K, showing superior performance than V2O5/TiO2 and V2O5/Al2O3. The excellent catalytic performance of V2O5/TiO2–Al2O3 is attributed to the effective interaction between the active component and the mixed support. Such interaction changes the chemical states of supported active V components, produces an increased amount of V4+ species, and facilitates the electron transfer between support and active component. Additionally, the incorporation of titanium cation into the alumina structure could also help produce an appropriate amount of acidic sites, which increases the DMM selectivity. The coordinated environment of the dispersed vanadia on TiO2–Al2O3 mixed support improves the catalytic efficiency on methanol oxidation to DMM.
