Abstract Nowadays, it is still challenging to prepare highly active O3 decomposition catalyst, especially with high water resistance used in harsh environments such as high relative humidity (RH). Herein, perovskite LaFeO3 based catalysts are synthesized by a facile sol-gel method, which show far higher O3 decomposition activity of 70–80% than the commonly used Fe2O3 counterpart of 0% at RH 90% and room temperature. Furthermore, 5% mol Ni is effectively doped into LaFeO3 substituting part of Fe as verified by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which enhances the RH resistance with a stable >90% conversion efficiency on 1000 ppm O3 at RH 90% and room temperature in a test period of 4.0 h. The temperature programmed desorption results show that the H2O desorption temperature decreases from 180 to 480 °C of Fe2O3 to
