The　sol-gel　citrate　method　and　the　co-precipitation　method　are　industrially　practical　technique　to　synthesis　perovskite　for　methane　combustion.　In　the　present　study　two　methods　were　compared　with　respect　to　their　activity　for　methane　combustion.　XRD,　SEM　and　TG-DSC　were　used　to　characterize　the　catalysts.　The　results　show　that　the　citrate　method　was　more　promising　than　the　co-precipitation　method.　Higher　purity,　more　uniform　and　finer　particle,　lower　formation　temperature　and　higher　activity　are　achieved　by　the　citrate　precursor.　In　the　co-precipitation　method,　the　convertional　oven　drying　and　supercritical　drying　sample　achieves　similar　catalytic　activity　for　methane　combustion.
