Abstract CeO2/BaF2 was used as the catalyst for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). At 800°C and CH4∶O2=2.7∶1,CH4 conversion of 34% with C2 hydrocarbon selectivity of 54.3% was obtained. XRD measurement showed that partial anion (O2−,F−) and/or cation (Ce4+,Ba2+) exchange between CeO2 and BaF2 lattices occurred. ESR study showed that O− species existed on degassed catalyst. XPS study revealed that, when BaF2 was added to CeO2, the binding energy of Be 3d5/2 was 2.2 eV lower than that in CeO2, and the “electron-enriched lattice oxygen” species was detected. XPS, ESR and Raman study showed that, under O2 adsorbing conditions, O 2 2− and O − 2 species were detected on CeO2/BaF2.
