Propylene oxide (PO) belongs to the group of the most important chemical industrial
intermediates. It is mainly used for polyurethanes, pharmaceuticals, textile, and detergent
production. In this short contribution we tried to characterize supported iron(III) oxide
catalyst with different amount of Fe and to find an optimal iron(III) oxide content for the best
catalysts performance. The importance of phase quality on the selectivity of respective
catalysts samples is also discussed. Linear sweep voltammetry was chosen for this purpose.
Results obtained by electrochemical methods are compared with efficiency (selectivity) of
respective catalysts.
