“…LaMnO 3 shows good stability, flexible oxygen stoichiometry (δ) and the different Mn oxidation states i.e., Mn 2+ , Mn 3+ , Mn 4+ , which strongly affects the catalytic behavior. Also, isomorphic substitution of metals in the perovskite structure allows some control the catalytic properties of the material and its several derivatives have been previously investigated [15,16]. Lanthanum-based perovskites containing transition metal in B-site, (LaBO 3 , B=Co, Fe, Ni or Mn), show catalytic activity close to the noble metal, presenting low cost and high thermal stability.…”
