Abstract
In this study, surface adsorption capabilities and corresponding catalytic activities of perovskite-type La 0.8Sr 0.2(Mn 1− x Co x )O 3 ( x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) oxides with controlled surface areas of 3–4 m 2 g −1 were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to examine the surface adsorption property of perovskite oxides. The catalytic activity of La 0.8Sr 0.2(Mn 1− x Co x )O 3 on methane conversion was investigated via gas chromatography (GC) in the temperature range of 400–700 °C under a fixed methane-to-oxygen ratio (CH 4/O 2) of 1.5. According to our investigation, the surface adsorption characteristics were improved with the increase of cobalt content in the B-site of La 0.8Sr 0.2(Mn 1− x Co x )O 3. Such improvements consequently enhanced the overall conversion efficiency of methane.
