CeO2 and cerium-based materials can store oxygen under excess-oxygen conditions and release it under oxygen-deficient conditions, and owing to the high oxygen storage/release capacity (OSC) they are widely used as promoters of automobile three-way catalysts.[1–8] Toyota research groups found that addition of zirconium cations to CeO2 dramatically improved the OSC and thermal stability.[9–11] The most efficient CeO2–ZrO2 (CZ) material is a CeO2–ZrO2 solid solution which has an atomically homogeneous, ordered arrangement of Ce and Zr ions assigned to the k-Ce2Zr2O8 fluorite phase (see the Supporting Information),[12] and the OSC increases with increasing homogeneity of the cation arrangement.[7, 13] 89% of the Ce ions in the Pt-promoted k-Ce2Zr2O8 are effective in the oxygen storage/release process, in contrast to the low OSC value of pure CeO2 (2%).[7, 12] The Pt-promoted k-Ce2Zr2O8 transforms into pyrochlore Ce2Zr2O7 under the reducing conditions in the working state (see the Supporting Information). A Ce2Zr2O7. 5 intermediate phase forms on prolonged exposure of Ce2Zr2O7 to air at room temperature,[14] but there is no information on the formation of Ce2Zr2O7. 5 during the oxygen storage/release process under working conditions. Oxygen storage/release processes on CZ samples have been characterized by various methods such as temporal analysis of products for Pt/CZ,[15] time-resolved XRD,[16] and thermogravimetric analysis for oxygen release from Pt/k-Ce2Zr2O8.[17] A tetragonal Ce2Zr2O8 phase with much lower OSC efficiency (52%) than the present k-Ce2Zr2O8 phase (89%) was also characterized by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis.[13, 18] Nevertheless, the previous studies did not focus on the real-time dynamics of CZ samples, which may be most relevant to theOSC function. Both Zr and Ce ions in k-Ce2Zr2O8 are in oxidation state+ 4 and eight-coordinate.[19] In pyrochlore Ce2Zr2O7, Ce ions have oxidation state+ 3 and eightfold coordination, while Zr ions have oxidation state+ 4 and are sixfold coordinated.[19–21] In the transformation between k-Ce2Zr2O8 and Ce2Zr2O7, Zr sites change the number of coordinated oxygen atoms without any change in valence, whereas Ce sites change their valence without changing their coordination number.
