Abstract

A series of CeO2–MgO catalysts with different molar ratio was prepared for the plasma-activated CO2 decomposition to CO and O2. The catalysts were synthesized by the sol-gel method and characterized by physicochemical methods (XRD, SEM, XPS, low-temperature N2 adsorption, CO2-TPD). The highest CO2 conversion (31%) was achieved in the presence of the catalyst with the highest CeO2 content. The addition of H2 into a CO2 decomposition system was also studied. No CO2 methanation occurred in the presence of synthesized catalysts, though an increase in the CO2-to-CO conversion was observed due to an increase of a discharge power in the presence of molecular hydrogen.
