Abstract:
1. A metallic mesoporous transition metal oxide molecular sieve (metallic sieve), comprising: (a) a mesoporous transition metal oxide molecular sieve (non-metallic sieve), comprising at least 50 molar % of a transition metal oxide selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, niobium oxide, hafnium oxide, tantalum oxide and a mixture thereof; and (b) at least one transition metal or lanthanide metal deposited in pores of said non-metallic sieve; wherein the at least one transition metal or lanthanide metal when deposited is in a lower oxidation state than the inner walls of the pores of the non-metallic sieve such that oxidation of the deposited transition metal or lanthanide metal by the inner walls occurs, resulting in a metallic sieve.
