Ce{sub 0.9}M{sub 0.1}O{sub 2-{delta}} mixed oxides (M=La, Eu and Gd) were synthesized by coprecipitation. Independent of the dopant cation, the obtained solids maintain the F-type crystalline structure, characteristic of CeO{sub 2} (fluorite structure) without phase segregation. The ceria lattice expands depending on the ionic radii of the dopant cation, as indicated by X-ray diffraction studies. This effect also agrees with the observed shift of the F{sub 2g} Raman vibrational mode. The presence of the dopant cations in the ceria lattice increases the concentration of structural oxygen vacancies and the reducibility of the redox pair Ce{sup 4+}/Ce{sup 3+}. All synthesized materials show higher catalytic activity for the CO oxidation reaction than that of bare CeO{sub 2}, being Eu-doped solid the one with the best catalytic performances despite of its lower surface area. - Graphical abstract: In this work, Ce{sub 0.9}M{sub 0.1}O{sub 2-{delta}} mixed oxides (M=La, Eu and Gd) were synthesized by coprecipitation.

Highlights: > Lanthanide doped ceria as catalytic supports for CO oxidation reaction. > A higher concentration of oxygen vacancies promotes a higher catalytic activity. > Eu-doped ceria shows improved catalytic properties for the CO oxidation reaction.« less
