Synthesis and characterization of Sr1-xLaxMnO3/SiOC nanocomposites decorated with 1D nanostructures for high temperature CO2 splitting

1D nanostructures of Lanthanum Strontium Manganite (LSM) are tested as thermochemical catalyst for CO 2 null splitting. The manganite precursors were incorporated into a ceramic silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) matrix at two different stages during its synthesis to form the nanocomposites. As a result, the LSM nanostructures decorate the large-size pores of the SiOC matrix in form of 1D nanofibers and nanowires. At the same time, the formation of the...
