Abstract: The catalytic performance of nanosized SrTiO3 (n(Sr)/n(Ti)=1.2) a nd conventional SrTiO3 (n(Sr)/n(Ti)=1.2) for OCM reaction was mea sured. The nanosized SrTiO3 catalyst exhibited better catalytic activity at l ow temperature (~650 ℃) than the conventional SrTiO3 catalyst with the sam e composition. The catalytic performance of the nanosized SrTiO3 catalyst was correlated to the higher concentration of F centers owing to low coordination nu mbers on the nanosized oxide particles.
