<p>A thermally stable, high surface area ceria composition is obtained by intimately adding a ceria stabilizer of one or more of La, Nd or Y to the ceria in an amount of from about 5 to 25 mole % of the ceria. One way to make the product is to mix the stabilizer with a ceria precursor such as cerium nitrate, evaporate the mixture and then calcine the salts to form the stabilized ceria. Another way to make the product is to form an aqueous solution of precursor salts which are precipitated with a base to form hydrous cerous and stabilizer hydroxides or their carbonates. This mixture can be washed and then calcined to form the stabilized ceria. After heating in air for 4 hours at 900 DEG C the stabilized ceria retains a surface area of greater than 20 m<2> /g.</p> |
