The application of a β-Al2O3/LaAlO3 eutectic-based composition for high temperature combustion catalysis has been investigated. Substitution of Al sites by Mn in the β-Al2O3/LaAlO3 eutectic structure occupied 5at% of the total Al sites with no trace of impurity phases. The substitution of Al by Mn in the β-Al2O3 phase was more predominant than in the LaAlO3 phase. The perovskite phase was easily removed by chemical etching and single crystal like porous β-Al2O3 was successfully prepared.
