Exploiting shape effects of La2O3 nanocatalysts for oxidative coupling of methane reaction

摘要

High activity towards oxidative coupling of methane and high selectivity for C2 hydrocarbons could be achieved over La2O3 nano-rods with a large surface area, strong surface basic sites, electron deficient surface oxygen species and defined surface structure compared with La2O3 nanoparticles at low temperature.
