Abstract
The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) has been studied on LnBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-x) (Ln = Sm,Dy,Y) with and without steam in the feed. It has been observed that the presence of steam enhances the Cn selectivity. The samarium containing compound is found to be a better system among these three compounds because of the higher formation of BaCO3 during the reaction thus increasing the basicity of the system.
