LaMnO3 and LaMnO3/ZSM-5 nano catalysts were synthesized by Pechini method and their physical-chemical properties were characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, UV-vis DRS, BET surface area and TPR. The correlation between characteristic properties and activity of catalysts were investigated. The catalytic performance of the catalysts was evaluated in combustion of 2-propanol...

We present the results of ab initio DFT plane wave periodic structure calculations of the LaMnO3 (001) surface. The effects related to three different kinds of pseudopotentials, the slab thickness, magnetic ordering, and surface relaxation are studied and discussed. The antiferromagnetic surface lowest in energy (that is, the spins on Mn ions are parallel in basal plane and antiparallel from pl...

Composition-spread La(1-x)SrxMnO3 thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique from LaMnO3 and SrMnO3 targets. The films were epitaxial with a continuous variation of the out-of-plane lattice parameter along the direction of composition gradient. Scanning Raman spectroscopy has been employed as a nondestructive tool to characterize the composition-spread films. Raman spectra sh...

Direct experimental evidence of half-metallic density of states (DOS) is observed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy on ferromagnetic La0.7Ca0.3MnO3, which exhibits colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). Tunneling conductance data taken at 77 K, well below the Curie temperature TC ø 260 K, show close resemblance to the spin-split DOS spectrum calculated for the itinerant bands in the ferromagnetic s...

Hydrogen peroxide has been identified as a stable intermediate of the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction on various electrodes including metal, metal oxide and carbon materials. In this article we study the hydrogen peroxide oxidation and reduction reactions in alkaline medium using a rotating disc electrode (RDE) method on oxides of the perovskite family (LaCoO3, LaMnO3 and La0.8Sr0.2Mn...
