Dynamic Behavior of Pd Species in an LaFe0.95Pd0.05O3 Perovskite
LaFe0.95Pd0.05O3 prepared by a sol-gel process was stable under reducing atmospheres up to 1,073 K. Under reducing atmospheres metallic palladium left the LaFeO3 lattice and ionic palladium was reversibly incorporated into the perovskite framework in oxidizing environments. The catalytic activity of LaFe0.95Pd0.05O3 was higher than that of LaFeO3.
