A catalyst composition is provided herein. The catalyst composition comprises an oxidative dehydrogenation catalyst containing a mixed metal oxide having the following empirical formula: 1.0 V 0.12-0.49 Nb 0.10-0.20 0.05-0.17 Te Mo Al c O d In the above formula, c is 0 to 2.0 and d is a number that satisfies the valence of the oxide. The composition is at least 40% by weight amorphous as determined by XRD. The present application also provides a method of making the composition. |
