In this study,Mn3O4 spherical particles(SPs)were synthesized by the sol-gel process,after which they were thermally annealed at 400 ℃,and comprehensively characterized.X-ray Diffraction(XRD)revealed that Mn3O4 exhibited a tetragonal spinel structure,and Fourier transformed infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy identified surface-adsorbed functional groups.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and the specific surface area analyses by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)revealed a porous,homogeneous surface composed of strongly agglomerated spherical grains with an estimated average particle size of~35 nm,which corresponded to a large specific sur-face area of~81.5 m2/g.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analysis indicated that Mn3O4 was composed of metallic cations(Mn4+,Mn3+,and Mn2+)and oxygen species(O2-,OH-and CO32-).The optical bandgap energy is~2.55 eV.Assessment of the catalytic performance of the Mn3O4 SPs indicated T90 conversion of CH4 to CO2 and H2O at 398 ℃ for gas hourly space velocity(GHSV)of 72000 mL3 g-1 h-1.This observed performance can be attributed to the cooperative effects of the smallest spherical grain size with a mesoporous structure,which is responsible for the larger specific surface area and available surface-active oxygenated species.The coopera-tive effect of the good reducibility,higher ratio of active species(OLat/OAds),and results of density functional theory(DFT)calculations suggested that the total oxidation of CH4 over the mesoporous Mn3O4 SPs might take place via a two-term process in which both the Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Mars-van Krevelen mechanisms are cooperatively involved.
