Resumen:
Highly crystalline, monophasic LaFeO3 and LaCoO3 perovskites, prepared by the explosion method, are shown to be heterogeneous at surface level. The outmost atomic layers of these perovskites contain high concentrations of carbonate-type species. Their specific activities for methane combustion are in fact identical to La2O2CO3 and air-exposed La2O3. These results compared with pertinent data from the literature hint that surface heterogeneity may be often present in mixed oxides catalysts.
