Abstract

CH4 combustion is one of the effective ways to reduce atmospheric lean CH4. Herein, a series of La-Co-Cu-O catalysts were successfully prepared by sol–gel method and applied to CH4 combustion. The doping of Cu could improve the catalytic activity of LaCoO3 catalyst. Among the samples, La0.85Cu0.15CoO3 and LaCu0.15Co0.85O3 with the same Cu doping amount exhibited better catalytic performance. Compared with LaCu0.15Co0.85O3, La0.85Cu0.15CoO3 catalyst with better redox ability and stronger adsorption capacity for CH4 and O2, exhibited higher reactivity in CH4 combustion. It was proposed that the coexistence of exposed dispersed Co3O4 particles and Cu ions in the system of La0.85Cu0.15CoO3 could lead to relatively better redox ability and stronger adsorption capacity for CH4 combustion. The La0.85Cu0.15CoO3 is proved to be an extremely valuable and potential catalyst for CH4 combustion.
