A study has been undertaken on the thermal stability and dispersion behavior of nanostructured CexZr1−xO2 mixed oxides over anatase-TiO2 support, synthesized by a deposition coprecipitation method and subjected to heat treatments at different temperatures. An unsupported CexZr1−xO2 mixed oxide was also synthesized by coprecipitation method for the purpose of comparison. The structural/morphological characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV−visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV−vis DRS), and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) techniques. XRD measurements revealed the presence of cubic Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 phase at 773 K and incorporation of more zirconium into the ceria lattice at higher temperatures. HREM analysis conformed highly dispersed Ce−Zr nano-oxides over anatase-TiO2 support having the sizes in the range of 3−5 nm at 773 K. At higher temperatures, a slight increase in the c...
