Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to a lanthanum nickel oxide (LaNiO3) perovskite that includes a crystal structure with nickel oxide (NiO) inclusions. Additional embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to a method of forming the LaNiO3 perovskites of the present disclosure by: (1) combining a lanthanum precursor and a nickel precursor to form a mixture; and (2) sonicating the mixture to form the LaNiO3 perovskite. Additional embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to methods of using the LaNiO3 perovskites of the present disclosure to catalytically convert hydrocarbons to hydrogen by exposing hydrocarbons to the LaNiO3 perovskites of the present disclosure.
