A method of preparing a catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation that includes coprecipitation and injecting inert gas or air at a specific time point to reduce the ratio of an inactive α-Fe2O3 crystal structure, thereby improving the activity of the catalyst. Also provided is a method of performing oxidative dehydrogenation using the catalyst. When oxidative dehydrogenation of butene is performed using the catalyst, side reaction may be reduced, and selectivity for butadiene may be improved, providing butadiene with high productivity. |
