Perovskite-type oxides, ABO3, are known to be very good oxidation catalysts. The redox properties of the B cation, the availability of weakly bonded oxygen at the surface and the presence of lattice defects have been often claimed as responsible for their catalytic activity. Moreover, their performances can be improved if they are nanodimensioned. The present study focuses on the development of new LaCoO3-based catalysts for alcohol (such as methanol, ethanol) steam reforming. Several La0.6Sr0.4Co1-yFeyO3-δ (y=0.2, 0.5, 0.8) were prepared by the citrate gel method and calcined at 1073 K for 5 h in air. Herein, the influence of the cobalt/iron ratio on the surface properties was investigated.
