The property of high oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of Ceria is an important component in three-way catalysts (TWC), which depends on the low reduction temperature, high surface area and stable crystalline structure. These are required to be improved using mixed oxides for the increased OSC of TWC. Though a good number of literature is available in Ceria-Zirconia mixed oxides, optimization of the composition of oxides based on OSC is very much limited. Hence, an attempt was made to optimize the composition of CexZr1-xO2 (0.4 x 0.8) (CZ) based on the OSC using thermogravimetric technique. The CZ solid solution was prepared by co-precipitation (COP) method using Ceria nitrate, and Zirconia oxy-choloride precursors, where the freshly prepared metal hydroxide precipitates were continuously stirred at 45 °C for 60 minutes followed by washing and drying to obtain the nanosized CZ particles. The formation of single nanocrystallite with less than 8 nm size solid solution was identified by XRD, and the same was confirmed by Micro Raman studies. It is observed that the trend of OSC in CZ solid solution was based on the ratio of Ce to Zr in the starting aqueous solution, where the OSC was found to be maximum at 1.5 and the corresponding OSC of the compound was about 0.14 μmol per gram of Ceria.

One of the methods for the reduction of harmful emissions from diesel engines such as hydrocarbon, soot and NOx is the use of fuel born catalyst Cerium oxide. The oxygen storage capacity of Cerium oxide can be improved by coating it with metal such as Zirconium. Zr – Ce-O nanoparticles were synthesized by Co-precipitation method in the present work. Dynamic Light scattering, XRD pattern and UV-Visible spectroscopy were used for characterization of the prepared samples. Thermo gravimetric studies were conducted to investigate the thermal decomposition of Zr-Ce-O nanoparticles. The oxygen storage capacity of Zr-Ce-O nanoparticles was analyzed using TPR analysis.

The Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 nanocomposites (CZ) were prepared by co-precipitation(CP), fractional precipitation (FP) and fractional precipitation with hydrothermal treatment (FP-HT). The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmet Teller method (BET), H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) under H2-N2. XRD results displayed that all samples formed a single solid solution-like ceria-zirconia phase. BET results revealed CZ prepared by FP-HT (CZ-FP-HT) had the highest surface area. H2-TPR and TG analysis under H2-N2 showed CZ-FP-HT exhibited the strongest redox ability and oxygen storage capacity. Moreover, three-way catalysts of Pd-Rh supported on CZ -FP-HT and commercial CZ with same composites were prepared, and their three-way catalytic activity were also studied by engine evaluation. Pd-Rh/CZ-FP-HT showed a bit of higher oxygen storage capacity, catalytic activity and better thermal stability than Pd-Rh/CZ-commercial.

Oxygen vacancy formation and migration are vital properties for reducible oxides such as TiO2, CeO2 and Cr2O3 as the oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of these materials are important for a wide range of applications in photovoltaics, oxidative catalysis and solid oxide fuel cells.
