A series of Fe doped LaMnO catalysts were prepared to control the production of byproducts such as O, NO, and CO, during the degradation of volatile organic compounds with a non-thermal plasma. Eliminating these potentially toxic byproducts will make non-thermal plasma technologies applicable for a wider range of commercial applications. The modified LaMnO catalysts are combined in NTP-catalysis reactor with optimal configuration. Experimental results show that doping Fe on LaMnO catalysts can not only enhance the oxidation of o-xylene, but also lower the emission levels of byproducts. LaMnFeO catalyst shows the best catalytic activity among the formulations tested herein. In addition to the strong mineralization of 88.1 %, the catalyst has the highest performance for o-xylene conversion (91.3 %), O inhibition efficiency (84.9 %), and NO inhibition efficiency (61.2 %) due to the strong concentration of active oxygen species on the surface of the catalyst. Moreover, the high reducibility of Fe demonstrated with H-TPR (hydrogen temperature-programed reduction) further enhances the removal of O by oxygen species exchange between Mn/Mn and Fe/Fe.

Improving the catalyst performance for the thermal oxidation reaction faces the daunting challenge of the activity-stability trade-off. Herein, an evolved heterointerface was constructed on spherical MnO nanocatalysts to achieve exceptional stability while maintaining adequate activity by simply introducing La. The generation of the active MnO-MnO heterointerfaces by La doping was experimentally observed, which further segregates to the surface during thermal aging and forms epitaxially grown heterostructured LaMnO-MnO with Mn atoms.

CH has become the most attractive fuel for solid oxide fuel cells due to its wide availability, narrow explosion limit range, low price, and easy storage. Thus, we present the concept of on-cell reforming via SOFC power generation, in which CH and CO can be converted into H and the formed H is electrochemically oxidized on a Ni-BZCYYb anode. We modified the porosity and specific surface area of a perovskite reforming catalyst via an optimized electrostatic spinning method, and the prepared LCMN nanofibers, which displayed an ideal LaMnO-type perovskite structure with a high specific surface area, were imposed on a conventional Ni-BZCYYb anode for on-cell CH reforming.

The electronic structure and geometric configuration of catalysts play a crucial role to design novel perovskite-type catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Nowadays, many studies are more concerned with the influence of electronic structure and ignore the geometric effect, which plays a nonnegligible role in enhancing catalytic performances. Herein, this work regulates the MnO octahedral tilting degree of LaMnO by modulating the concentration of Y, excluding the electronic effect from the valence state of manganese.
