The lattice structures of samples calcined at different temperatures were characterized by XRD, Shrinkage, porosity and pore size of the porous BSCF as a function of sintering temperature were investigated. It was found that the cubic perovskite structure could be formed after calcination at 800 ℃ for 2 h, but not well crystallized as seen from some unknown phases, and the pure cubic perovskite structure was formed after calcination at 1150 ℃ for 2 h. The panicle size of BSCF was less than 1-2 μm. The shrinkage of the porous BSCF increased with sintering temperature, but the opposite was true for the porosity. After sintering at 1100 ℃ for 4 h, the porous BSCF was still in an appropriate structure, with porosity of 29% and electrical conductivity above 400 S·cm^-1.展开更多

If γ-Al_2O_3 is used as its support, cobalt ions can easily react with γ-Al_2O_3 at not very high temperature to form spinel CoAl_2O_4 or spinel-like, which decreases the activity of the combustion catalyst. In this paper, MgAl_2O_4 and CaAl_2O_4 were pre-coated on γ-Al_2O_3 by impregnation respectively, which formed compound support for LSC. It is shown that, when MgAl_2O_4 layer is covered on the surface of MgAl_2O_4 by impregnation, the entering of cobalt ions into γ-Al_2O_3 lattice is restrained, then LSC formed on the surface of MgAl_2O_4, which leads to a good catalytic activity of xylene complete oxidation. But the layer of MgAl_2O_4 should be thick enough to reach 30% (mass fraction) MgO in the support due to large size particle of MgAl_2O_4 crystalline. If polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is added into the impregnation solution adequately, MgAl_2O_4 particles formed on the surface of γ-Al_2O_3 are getting smaller, and less amount of MgAl_2O_4 is needed to cover up the surface of γ-Al_2O_3. If CaAl_2O_4 layer substituted for MgAl_2O_4, more closed cover is obtained in virtue of fine particles of CaAl_2O_4. The activity examination shows that smaller particles of MgAl_2O_4 or CaAl_2O_4 can be more effective to hinder cobalt ions entering the lattice of γ-Al_2O_3, and better activities will be obtained.展开更多
