A series of Ce x Zr 1–x O 2 (x=1, 0.83, 0.17, 0) supports and 2 wt.% Ni/Ce x Zr 1–x O 2 catalysts were synthesized and evaluated for CH 4 oxidation. The Ce x Zr 1–x O 2 supports showed moderate activity (T 50 =519‐638 °C) with CO by‐product formation. Nickel incorporation onto Ce x Zr 1–x O 2 lowered the T 50 to 438–477 °C and eliminated the formation of CO. The results indicated that moderate Zr doping improved the support oxygen storage capacity (OSC) and reducibility of the catalyst at low temperatures (H 2 ‐TPR) leading to an enhanced CH 4 combustion turnover frequency: Ni/ZrO 2
