A significant enhancement of the yttrium‐stabilized zirconia‐supported palladium (0.2 wt % Pd/YSZ) catalytic activity for the total oxidation of methane was achieved in a dual‐bed system by the association of LaMnO 3 +Pd/YSZ materials. The combination with the best performance was 40 wt % LaMnO 3 +60 wt % Pd/YSZ. Pd/YSZ and LaMnO 3 perovskite were characterized by using the 18 O 2 exchange technique. A Mars–van Krevelen mechanism was demonstrated over Pd/YSZ at 425 °C. Additionally, it was evidenced that LaMnO 3 activated the O 2 molecule on the YSZ oxygen vacancy sites to result in a significant increase of the oxidation rate characterized by a correlating decrease of the light‐off temperature of 65 °C.
