Prof. Dr. Attera Worayingyong [CV] La1-xA’xCoO3-δ Perovskite Type Oxides as Catalysts for VOCs Oxidation La1-xA’xCoO3-δ perovskite-type oxides is nonstoichiometry created by substituting the A-site (La) with a bivalent cation (A’=Sr, Ca). For charge balancing, oxygen vacancies form after oxygen desorption resulting structural defects, which are important not only for catalytic activity, but also for oxygen mobility within the perovskites. In the oxidation atmosphere, adsorbed oxygen from the gas phase at different vacant sites leading to charged oxygen adsorption O2¯, O¯, O2¯, play the roles in the catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as paraffins, and aromatics. Schiff base complex sol-gel method could be used to produce high adsorbed oxygen perovskites type oxides....more |
