• Vanadyl pyrophosphate
• Bismuth
• Selective oxidation
• Maleic anhydride

A series of 1%, 3% and 5% Bi-doped vanadyl pyrophosphate catalysts were prepared via sesquihydrate route (VPOs method). These catalysts were denoted as VPOs-Bi1%, VPOs-Bi3% and VPOs-Bi5%. Bulk and Bi-promoted vanadyl pyrophosphate catalysts prepared via sesquihydrate route exhibited a well-crystallized (VO)(2)P2O7 phase. Two V5+ phases, i.e. beta-VOPO4 and alpha(II)-VOPO4 were observed in all Bi-promoted VPO catalysts, which led to an increase in the specific surface area and average oxidation state of vanadium. Bi-promoted VPO catalysts showed six to nine times higher amounts of oxygen evolved than the bulk VPO catalyst in oxygen TPD and a significant shift in the reduction peaks to lower temperatures. Catalytic tests revealed that both activity and selectivity to maleic anhydride increased with the presence of bismuth promoter.
