Ceria, which acts as a “star” among the metal-oxides, has established to be one of the most promising materials for chemical transformations and energy applications owing to its redox and acid–base properties. Ceria has become a key component in three-way catalytic converters, water-gas shift reaction, CO oxidation, methane combustion, and complex organic reactions. More importantly, introducing of other metals to ceria, tailoring the shape of the ceria, and reducing structure size of ceria, usually decrease the formation energy of oxygen vacancy (Vö) and lead to unique catalytic performances.
