Metal oxides are widely used as catalyst materials for various chemical reactions due to their excellent thermal and mechanical stability and their ability to exhibit acid-base and redox properties in the solid state. However, most of the metal oxides used have been those with the most stable oxidation states. We are engaged in research aimed at “synthesis of metal oxides with meta-stable oxidation states and developing their catalytic functions.” Here, I will present our research to date, focusing primarily on titanium suboxides.
