In this paper, the preparation of vanadium phosphate catalysts was shown to be improved by (1) using V2O5 and ethylene glycol as starting and reducing agent material, respectively for VOPO4 · 2H2O, (2) subsequent water treatment and (3) microwave irradiation. In particular, the preparation route, ba...
