Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing an alumina supported perovskite type oxide composition, to an alumina supported perovskite type oxide composition and to the use of such an alumina supported perovskite type oxide composition in catalytic systems in emission control applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a strontium aluminate mixed oxide precursor and a method for producing same, as well as to a strontium aluminate mixed oxide and method for producing same. The strontium aluminate mixed oxide precursor can be transformed into a strontium aluminate mixed oxide at relatively low temperature. The strontium aluminate mixed oxide is characterized by substantially spherically-shaped particles with a spongy- or porous bone-like microstructure. A luminescent material including a strontium aluminate mixed oxide is also provided.
