Abstract
Surface-lattice oxygen species of LiNiO2 with a layered structure were investigated for an oxidative reaction of methane. LiNiO2 resulted in formation of C2-hydrocarbons without by-products of carbon dioxide at an initial stage reaction which was an oxidative coupling process by surface lattice oxygen. For understanding of the origin of the catalytic activities, photoemission spectra of LixNi2-xO2 (0<x≦1) were measured. From comparison of the valence band structures, it was suggested that an anisotropic charge distribution and the layered structure contributed to the formation of active lattice oxygen and the catalytic performance of LiNiO2, respectively.
