6 Abstract

7 In Recent years, perovskites have been rediscovered as a family of catalysts due to great diversity in many
8 scientific disciplines. Because of the wide range of ions and valences which this simple structure can
9 accommodate, the perovskites lend themselves to chemical tailoring. Research has been focused on
10 synthesizing porous perovskite materials so that large surface areas can be obtained with improved surface
11 properties. It is relatively simple to synthesize perovskites because of the flexibility of the structure to
12 diverse chemistry. Many of the techniques of ceramic powder preparation are applicable to perovskite
13 catalysts. In their own right, they are therefore of interest as a model system for the correlation of solid-state
14 parameters and catalytic mechanisms. Such correlations have recently been found between the rate and
15 selectivity of oxidation-reduction reactions and the thermodynamic and electronic parameters of the solid.
16 Perovskite-type materials have become a research hotspot in the field of materials science due to their
17 excellent structural stability and physicochemical properties. It has numerous potential applications
18 including heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, as gas sensors and in batteries. This paper briefly reviews
19 the preparation methods of perovskite materials and their use as catalysts.
