Given the influence of surface area in all heterogeneous processes, synthesis plays a significant role in catalytic performance. LaFeO3 catalytic properties have been improved when synthesized as nanoparticles. The most common synthesis routes to obtain a small particle size of perovskite materials are sol gel and coprecipitation. An alternative route to increase surface area during synthesis is by generation of pores within the solid. This can be achieved through hard casting, using templates such as mesoporous silica or polymethylmethacrylate nanospheres , or by nanostructuring of precursors, e.g., from macroporous Fe2O3. 9
