Co 3 O 4 ‐modified CeO 2 (Co/Ce 1:4) was prepared by a combination of sol–gel processing and solvothermal treatment. The distribution of Co was controlled by means of the synthesis protocol to yield three different morphologies, namely, Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles located on the surface of CeO 2 particles, coexistent Co 3 O 4 and CeO 2 nanoparticles, or Co oxide structures homogeneously distributed within CeO 2 . The effect of the different morphologies on the properties of Co 3 O 4 –CeO 2 was investigated with regard to the crystallite phase(s), particle size, surface area, and catalytic activity for CO oxidation. The material with Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles finely dispersed on the surface of CeO 2 particles had the highest catalytic activity.
