A Cu/Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 catalyst was synthesized by facile co-precipitation method and deeply studied for syngas production from carbon dioxide reforming of ethanol at various temperature and reactant ratios. The investigated catalyst showed promising activity and excellent stability along 90 h test, which was assigned to the strong synergistic metal-support interaction and high redox capacity as revealed by different characterization technique including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, Oxygen storage capacity (OSC) and Temperature programmed reduction (H-2-TPR) etc. [GRAPHICS]
