Resumo

The preparation of nanoparticles and nanofibers of bimetallic oxides containing f block element perovskites of the type LaNiO3, SmCoO3 and DyFeO3 was undertaken. They were obtained by electrospinning and its formation simply tuneable in the subsequent oxidation step-heating rate. These bimetallic oxides were tested as catalysts in the partial oxidation of methane aiming the production of syngas. The best results were those obtained over the nickel-based catalysts, which have an activity and selectivity comparable to that of a commercial catalyst used as reference (5 wt% Pt/Al2O3). The catalysts present also an unusual long catalytic stability in the gaseous stream. These perovskites type bimetallic oxides were characterized by different techniques (XRD, SEM/EDS, H2-TPR). To our knowledge, it is the first time that these results are reported in the literature.
