Catalytic properties of strontium-substituted lanthanum cobaltites La1
-xSrxCoO3 in the reaction of CO oxidation were compared with the data
about chemical composition of the surface and bulk defect structure. I
t was found that (1) the initial catalytic activity correlates with th
e cobalt concentration on the surface; (2) surface composition differs
from the bulk one; (3) the steady-state activity is proportional to t
he density of bulk extended defects. Under our experimental conditions
no role of point defects was noted.
