Popis: La 2 O 3 based oxidative coupling of methane catalysts have been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A high binding energy Ols peak at 532.6-533.2 eV, was found and is believed to be due to a peroxycarbonate species (CO 4 =). A surface equilibrium involving superoxide species and peroxycarbonate is suggested. Catalytic tests in the presence and absence of stable surface carbonate indicate that surface O 2 − is responsible for heterogeneous CO formation.
