Abstract
A series of La1-xBaxCoO3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) perovskites were synthesized by the modified sol-gel method, and their activities for NO oxidation were investigated as well. The relevant structural characterizations of the prepared catalysts were conducted by XRD, ICP, BET, FTIR, TEM, H2-TPR and NO-TPD. The performance evaluation indicated that introduction of Ba at the A-site in LaCoO3 greatly improved the activity for NO oxidation. The best performance with NO conversion of 93% at 265 °C was obtained on La0.9Ba0.1CoO3. Additionally, the Ba-doped LaCoO3 had better performance than that of the classical Pt/Al2O3 catalyst, implying that the non-noble catalysts could be considered as potential substituting candidates for noble metal-based catalysts.
