Abstract: CO2-TPD was used to study the surface basicity of La-Me-Omixed oxides and O2TPD, CH4-TPD were employed to study the surface active oxygen species. Comparing the CO2-TPD with O2-TPD, we can see that the basicity of catalyst is in parallel with the catalystic activity. The stronger basicity is more profitable for the catalyst to adsorb oxygen to form active oxygen species and to activate CH4by breaking a C-Hbond. By comparing the catalytic activity. the results showed that La-Ba-O(La/Ba=7/3) catalyst had the strongest basicity, and it gave the highest CH4conversion and C2selectivity. The results from the pulse reaction showed that the lattice oxygen participated in the OCM reaction without gas oxygen, and it was the selective oxygen species.
