A new class of TiO 2 -doped CeO 2 nanorods was synthesized via a modified hydrothermal method, and these nanorods were first used as catalysts for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO 2 and CH 3 OH in a fixed-bed reactor. The micromorphologies and physical-chemical properties of nanorods were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, N 2 adsorption, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia and carbon dioxide (NH 3 -TPD and CO 2 -TPD). The effects of the TiO 2 doping ratio on the catalytic performances were fully investigated. By doping TiO 2 , the surface acid-base sites of CeO 2 nanorods can be obviously promoted and the catalytic activity can be raised evidently. Ti 0.04 Ce 0.96 O 2 nanorod catalysts exhibited remarkably high activity with a methanol conversion of 5.38% with DMC selectivity of 83.1%. Furthermore, kinetic and mechanistic investigations based on the initial rate method were conducted. Over the Ti 0.04 Ce 0.96 O 2 nanorod catalyst, the apparent activation energy of the reaction was 46.3 kJ/mol. The reaction rate law was determined to be of positive first-order to the CO 2 concentration and the catalyst loading amount. These results were practically identical with the prediction of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism in which the steps of CO 2 adsorption and activation are considered as rate-determining steps.
