Title: Surface characterization of LaMnO{sub 3+{delta}} powder synthesized using poly(acrylic acid)

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The La/Mn ratio, specific surface area, and catalytic activity for CO oxidation on perovskite-type LaMnO{sub 3+{delta}} synthesized by firing gels with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were measured to characterize the LaMnO{sub 3+{delta}} surface. LaMnO{sub 3+{delta}} synthesized by gel firing with low PAA concentration had a large specific surface area, but a Mn ion content lower than that of LaMnO{sub 3+{delta}} synthesized using acetates. Increasing the PAA concentration or the firing temperature improved the surface state of LaMnO{sub 3+{delta}}. At 5 x 10{sup -2}M PAA, the catalytic activity was better than that of LaMnO{sub 3+{delta}} synthesized using acetates.
