Abstract

A series of rare-earth composite catalytic material LZ1,LZ2 and LZ3 that contains mixture of La0.9Sr0.1Co0.5Mn0.5O3and Ce0.7Zr0.3O2in different proportion (3:7, 5:5, 7:3) were prepared by a sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface analysis (BET) , Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The results indicated that in LZ3, a perfect crystal structure of perovskite and a cubic fluorite structure were formed. Besides LZ3 presented scattered spherical granules with a particle size of about 30 nm and a specific surface area of 20.9870 m2/g. The temperature of reduction peak was lowest (490°C) and peak area was larger, so it had the best catalytic activity for methane combustion.
