A series of barium doped LaMnO3 perovskite nano catalysts were synthesized using the citric acid sol gel method. The prepared nano catalysts were characterized using the various characterization techniques such as XRD, ICPAES, FTIR, SEM, HRTEM, TPR and BET. The Xrd results showed the purity of the prepared catalyst as no segregated phases were observed and also confirming the crystallinity of the prepared catalyst. The surface area achieved in this experiment presented one of the highest reported in literature. The doping of the perovskite catalysts helps in increasing the surface area. The ICPAES results shows the efficiency of the preparation method adopted. The catalytic evaluation shows that upon introduction of Ba into the perovskite structure, the catalytic performance of the catalyst were greatly increased with LBM3 giving the lowest T50 at 550°C
The sol gel method was used in preparing a series of A site partially substituted La1−xBaxCoO3 (x ≥ 0.1 ≤ 0.4) perovskite catalysts coded LBC1, 2, 3, and 4 and their potential as catalysts for soot oxidation were evaluated. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICPAES), Thermogravimetric/Differential Thermal Analysis (TGA/DTG), X-ray analysis (XRD) were used in characterizing the prepared perovskite catalyst. The result shows that at (x≥ 0.2 ≤ 0.4), there was an increase in surface area when we compare it with that of x = 0. The increase in surface area helps in increasing the catalytic performance of the catalyst. Also, when evaluating the catalytic performance of the synthesized catalysts, it was observed that doping the perovskite catalysts helped in the general improvement of the catalytic performance for soot oxidation. The best performance in this research study with a T50 of 484 °C was observed at x = 0.2 catalyst (LBC2). This shows that the non-noble perovskite catalysts prepared in this research study has the potential to replace the noble metal based catalysts used presently in the diesel automotive industry.
A series of Mg doped LaCoO3 perovskite nano catalysts were synthesized using sol gel method. The prepared nano catalysts were characterized using the various characterization techniques such as X-Ray, Powder Diffraction, Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Spectroscopy, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett Teller. The XRD results showed the purity of the prepared catalyst as no segregated phases were observed and also confirming the crystallinity of the prepared catalyst. The catalytic evaluation shows that upon introduction of Mg into the perovskite structure, the catalytic performances of the catalyst were greatly increased with La0.8Mg0.2CoO3 giving the lowest T50 at 480 °C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
