NiFe2O4 nanoparticles with a high concentration of oxygen vacancies were synthesized via a solvothermal route. The morphology and oxygen vacancies of the catalyst was changed by adjusting the ratio of ethylene glycol (EG) in the mixture solvent. Water was used as a hydrogen source, the thermal catalytic performance of NiFe2O4 was up to 357.6 μmol g−1 of CH4 evolution under low temperature conditions. These findings may further broaden the horizon for CO2 reduction using the oxygen nonstoichiometry strategy.
