Formation of LaCoO{sub 3} highly dispersed on ZrO{sub 2}

Journal Article · · Journal of the American Chemical Society
The well-characterized La-Co overlayer was prepared on the surface of ZrO{sub 2} powder by impregnating ZrO{sub 2} with aqueous solutions of the mixtures of La and Co acetates followed by calcination at various temperatures. The preparation processes and the structure of La-Co oxide overlayers were investigated in detail by IR, XRD, XPS, EDX, TEM, and adsorption of NO and pyridine. It was concluded that a highly dispersed La-Co oxide overlayer which may have the LaCoO{sub 3} perovskite structure was formed. The resulting La-Co/ZrO{sub 2} catalysts showed very high catalytic activities for complete oxidation of propane. 50 refs., 10 figs., 6 tabs.
