Abstract

K and Mg substituted perovskite catalysts La1 - xK xCo1 - yMgyO3 (x = 0-0.4, y = 0-0.2) for soot combustion were prepared by citric acid complexation and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDS, H2-TPR, XPS and TG. Soot combustion was remarkably accelerated when K was introduced into LaCoO3. Then Mg was doped into the K substituted LaCoO3, soot combustion was further improved for the restrained growth of Co3O4 phase. K/Mg substitutions were responsible for enhancing activity of catalysts by improving reducibility as suggested by H2-TPR studies. Among all the catalysts, La0.6K0.4Co0.9Mg0.1O3 exhibited the highest activity.
