Perovskite oxides are capable of catalyzing a broad spectrum of reactions. These include:
- Oxidation Reactions: They are often used in the oxidation of hydrocarbons, CO oxidation, and oxidative coupling of methane. - Reduction Reactions: They can facilitate reactions such as hydrogen evolution and nitrogen reduction. - Electrochemical Reactions: Perovskites are effective in both oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions, making them suitable for fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
