Abstract
in the ceria lattice and further competitive compensation of the lattice charge balance by the existing in the system ions, which could be controlled by the Fe/Ce ratio and the hydrothermal synthesis procedure used. This mechanism provides proper understanding and regulation of the catalytic behavior of cerium-iron oxide composites in methanol decomposition with a potential for hydrogen production and total oxidation of ethyl acetate as a model of VOCs.
