Abstract

La2O3 catalysts prepared at 923 K (La2O3-LT) and 1073 K (La2O3-HT) exhibit different photoluminescence properties due to notably different concentrations of ions in position of low coordination at the surface or coordinatively unsaturated surface sites (cus). The catalyst which exhibits the higher yields of photoluminescence due to the higher concentration of cus corresponds to the one which gives the higher C2+ selectivity in the oxidative methane coupling reaction.
