Abstract

A series of lanthanum oxide (La2O3—2–14 wt%)-encapsulated Co3O4/MgO catalysts and bare Co/MgO solid oxides were prepared by wetness impregnation method. Among all catalysts, La2O3-promoted Co3O4/MgO (CM) was found to be remarkable in terms of superior promotional effect of La oxide species. Therefore, La2O3-incorporated Co3O4/MgO (LCM) catalysts afforded unusual catalytic activity efficiency with respect to high EB conversion and styrene selectivity due to the synergistic effect of Co–La species. By contrast, bare Co3O4/MgO solid oxide (CM) catalyst afforded low EB conversion with mild catalytic activity due to the absence of promotional role of La oxide.
