Ion‐exchange can also be employed and yields catalysts with ionic Ag [84, 85]. Reducing silver<br />

in ion‐exchanged materials in hydrogen atmosphere afforded catalysts with very small silver particles<br />

in selected cases [86, 87]. Supported silver particles can also be synthesized by flame‐spray pyrolysis<br />

e.g. with Ag/SiO2 (Figure 2‐7) [88, 89]. Addition of CeO2 to the SiO2 support during flame synthesis<br />

afforded smaller silver particles [91]. Silver in combination with vanadium in polyoxometallates has<br />

attracted considerable attention. This material can be flexibly synthesized so that silver is either in<br />

metallic or ionic state (Scheme 2‐1). For metallic silver, vanadium in H5PV2Mo10O40 is first reduced<br />

with Zn. Treatment with ionic silver re‐ oxidizes vanadium forming silver particles on the surface [92].<br />
