Methane Combustion over Lanthanum-based Perovskite Mixed Oxides

Abstract

The series "Springer Theses" brings together a selection of the very best Ph.D. theses from around the world and across the physical sciences. Nominated and endorsed by two recognized specialists, each published volume has been selected for its scientific excellence and the high impact of its contents for the pertinent field of research. For greater accessibility to non-specialists, the published versions include an extended introduction, as well as a foreword by the student's supervisor explaining the special relevance of the work for the field. As a whole, the series will provide a valuable resource both for newcomers to the research fields described, and for other scientists seeking detailed background information on special questions. Finally, it provides an accredited documentation of the valuable contributions made by today's younger generation of scientists.Theses are accepted into the series by invited nomination only and must fulfill all of the following criteria • They must be written in good English.• The topic should fall within the confines of Chemistry, Physics, Earth Sciences, Engineering and related interdisciplinary fields such as Materials, Nanoscience, Chemical Engineering,

Spray-Flame Synthesis of LaMnO3+δ Nanoparticles for Selective CO Oxidation (SELOX)

“…While the spectrum of the EtOH-made sample is dominated by oxygenmainly bound in water, carbonates, and single oxides (lattice oxygen binding energy of 529.8 eV)the spectrum of EtOH/2-EHA-made material clearly shows a different oxygen species. Besides the oxygen-related surface-adsorbed species (OH/CO/O 2 ) identified at 531.1 eV, , the oxygen peak at 529.1 eV can be assigned to lattice oxygen pertaining to the perovskite structure …”
