Hydroxycarbonate precursors with different Cu/Zn/Co/Al/Cr atomic ratios were preared by coprecipitation of the metal nitrates with a stoichiometric amount of NaHCO{sub 3} under controlled conditions of temperature, stirring, and pH. Cu-Zn-Co-Al-Cr mixed oxides were obtained by decomposition of the precursors at different temperatures (623, 723, and 973 K in air). The characterization has been performed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the UV-VIS-NIR region (DRS), thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), BET surface area determination, and measurements of magnetic susceptibility.
