This research provided information essential to the design of durable high temperature metal oxide catalysts for natural gas combustion. The intrinsic methane combustion activity of a series of some 30 metal oxide catalyst formulations representing several structural classes was determined by temperature-programmed reactions and stationary-state order of reaction experiments. Although catalyst performance was influenced by sintering at elevated temperatures, the methane combustion activity of oxides containing transition metals was found to correlate inversely with thermochemical stability when normalized for surface area.
