Samples of V 2 O 5 catalysts supported on nanostructures of TiO 2 and γ-Al 2 O 3 were synthesized through the hydrothermal method and used for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) to propylene. The TiO 2 support was utilized in both commercial microstructure and synthesized nanostructure forms. Moreover, the γ-Al 2 O 3 support was synthesized through chemical and precipitation methods. The vanadium catalyst was then deposited onto the hybrid of the TiO 2 and γ-Al 2 O 3 materials. All prepared catalysts were characterized through the BET, FESEM, FTIR, XRD and TPR techniques. Performances of the synthesized catalysts were subsequently examined in a fixed-bed reactor. The main products were propylene, ethylene and CO x . The prepared catalysts over TiO 2 and γ-Al 2 O 3 were evaluated under reactor test conditions of 500 °C, feed of C 3 H 8 /air with molar ratio of 0.6, and total feed flow rate of 90 mL min -1 . These resulted in optimum values of 35.53 and 23.88 % for the propylene selectivity and propane conversion, respectively 6 h after the start of the reaction. The comparison of performances made between the synthesized materials and those available in the open literature for the ODHP reaction was indeed satisfactory.
