are bulk catalysts typically made by pressing the active powder
into a pellet with the desired dimensions (Cavani et al., 2006). The
resulting catalyst pellets therefore have a bimodal pore structure,
i.e. the micro-porous structure from the chemical synthesis of the active powder and the macro-porous region between the powder formed by the pelleting process. Due to diffusion limitation, the global reaction rate of the catalyst pellet in the reactor can be different from the intrinsic reaction rate measured for the active powder (Sharma et al., 1991). Hence, the real performance of the VPP catalyst pellet in a technical fixed-bed reactor is an overall

catalyst (Benziger et al., 1997; Centi, 1993; Trifirò and Grasselli,
2014). New synthesis methods are continuously proposed to
increase the intrinsic activity of the VPP precursors (Glaum et al.,
2012; Hutchings, 2004). To the best of our knowledge, the pore structure optimization of the VPP catalyst for n-butane oxidation is not explored yet.
