Abstract

The catalytic activity of La2CuO a for the decomposition of H209 was studied in detail. La2CuO 4 was prepared-by the ceramic method in four different ways. Gamma irradiation of the La2CuO 4 samples increased their catalytic-activity irrespective of the method of preparation. The enhanced catalytic activity is attributed to irradiation generated Cu + centres on the surface of the catalyst.
