CeZrO 2 nanocatalysts doped with three transition metals of Cu, Ni and Co were synthesized via sequence method of microemulsion and depositionprecipitation method. The crystallinity phase was studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) while the textural analysis was performed by N 2 adsorption desorption analysis. XRD results exhibited the transition metals peaks were detected on the CeZrO 2 pattern. N 2 adsoption-desoption depicted that Ni/CeZrO 2 produced higher BET surface area of 35.19 m 2 /g as compared to Cu/CeZrO 2 and Co/CeZrO 2 . Therefore, this result suggested that the CeZrO 2 nanocatalyst doped with Ni has a great potential to enhance the catalytic activity.
