Catalytic properties of the trivalent lanthanide oxides in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide
Eight lanthanide oxides were used as catalysts of H2O2 decompn. at 298 and 318 K to det. the reaction consts. and activation energies of the reaction. Pr2O3, Er2O3 and Yb2O3 showed the highest catalytic activity and were recommended for practical use in fuel cells.
