Nanocasted Synthesis of the Mesostructured LaCoO3 Perovskite and Its Catalytic Activity in Methane Combustion
Extremely high surface area, mesostructured LaCoO3 perovskite has been synthesized by nanocasting from mesoporous cubic (Ia3d) vinyl silica. Thus-prepared material was characterized by XRD, TEM, and N2-sorption, and its catalytic property was also
tested in methane combustion. The catalytic results demonstrated that thus-prepared mesostructured LaCoO3 perovskite had higher activity than the conventional bulk LaCoO3 perovskite prepared by citrate method. Further analysis showed that both the high surface area and
the existence of high valent cobalt ions (Co4+, XPS analysis) were contributed to the high activity.
