The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation indicated that the particles of LaCoO3 tended to have a uniform shape at EG/CA = 4. Although, the specific surface area of LaCoO3 synthesized using both EG and CA was slightly smaller than that of LaCoO3 synthesized using only CA, the catalytic activity of CO oxidation became higher by adding EG. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TaguchiHideki en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Hideki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamasakiSatoshi en-aut-sei=Yamasaki en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ItadaniAtsushi en-aut-sei=Itadani en-aut-mei=Atsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YosinagaMasashi en-aut-sei=Yosinaga en-aut-mei=Masashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirotaKen en-aut-sei=Hirota en-aut-mei=Ken kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=The Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology (Science), Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=The Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology (Science), Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=The Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology (Science), Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Kyoto Prefecture Collaboration of Regional Entities for the Advancement of Technological Excellence, JST affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Faculty of Engineering, Doshisha University en-keyword=LaCoO3 kn-keyword=LaCoO3 en-keyword=perovskite kn-keyword=perovskite en-keyword=sol-gel preparation kn-keyword=sol-gel preparation en-keyword=CO oxidation kn-keyword=CO oxidation END
