Abstract: The structure and surface basicity of a series of lanthanum based catalysts (La2O3, BaO/La2O3, BaF2/La2O3, LaOF, BaF2/LaOF) were characterized by XRD, CO2-TPDand high temperature in situ FTIRspectroscopy of CO2 adsorption. Both the results of CO2 TPDand in situ FTIRspectra of CO2 adsorption indicate that the basicity of the catalysts decreases in the sequence BaO/La2O3>La2O3>BaF2/La2O3>BaF2/LaOF>LaOF. The experiments of catalytic performance evaluation of the catalysts performed at 800 ℃ under the conditions of V (CH4)/ V (O2)=4 and GHSV= 15000 h-1 indicate that the BaF2 modified La2O3 and LaOFdemonstrate a better OCMperformance compared to the corresponding La2O3 and LaOF. These observations suggest that the surface basicity is not always a requisite attribution for a good OCMcatalyst.
