Four different nanoshapes of cerium dioxide have been prepared (polycrystals, rods, cubes, and octahedra) and have been decorated with different metals (Ru, Pd, Au, Pt, Cu, and Ni) by incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) and ball milling (BM) methods. After an initial analysis based on oxygen consumption from CO2 pulse chemisorption, Ni-like metal, and two forms of CeO2 cubes and rods were selected for further research. Catalysts were characterized using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller formula (BET), X-ray spectroscopy (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV–visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and CO2 pulse chemisorption, and used to reduce of CO2 into CO (CO2 splitting). Adding metals to cerium dioxide enhanced the ability of CeO2 to release oxygen and concomitant reactivity toward the reduction of CO2. The effect of the metal precursor and concentration were evaluated. The highest CO2 splitting value was achieved for 2% Ni/CeO2-rods prepared by ball milling using Ni nitrate (412 µmol/gcat) and the H2 consumption (453.2 µmol/gcat) confirms the good redox ability of this catalyst.
