Antimony segregation is a common feature in Fe–Sb mixed oxides, which have been widely applied as catalysts in selective oxidation and ammoxidation reactions. This paper attempts to shed a light on the cause of such a common feature and on the nature of the antimony-enriched surface layer over FeSbO4by means of XPS surface analysis. Single-phase FeSbO4samples prepared by different methods were studied, and the antimony in their surface layer is a mixture of both Sb5+and Sb3+rather than single Sb5+. Their surface composition is close to FeSb2O6, which could be described as (FeSbO4)(Sb2O4)δ, δ=0.5, and it is not “Fe(II)Sb(V)2O6” as suggested in literature. Fe–Sb mixed oxides with Sb/Fe>1 (mol/mol) are mixtures of FeSbO4and Sb2O4, and the surface of FeSbO4grains would be a layer of (FeSbO4)(Sb2O4)δ, δ≥0.5. Fe–Sb mixed oxides with Sb/Fe<1 are mixtures of FeSbO4and Fe2O3, and the surface of FeSbO4grains would be a layer of (FeSbO4)(Sb2O4)δ, δ≤0.5, but the remaining Fe2O3would be encapsulated by a layer of FeSbO4.
