The overall objective of this work was to identify and determine the controlling factors of catalytic activity of CeO 2 nanoparticles with different properties. Therefore, four kinds of CeO 2 nanoparticles are successfully synthesized and used as peroxidase mimics. The results reveal that the catalytic activity is related to specific surface area and surface oxygen (O sur ) content. For different CeO 2 nanoparticles, specific surface area is the leading factor of catalytic activity. The catalytic activity increases with the increasing specific surface area. If the CeO 2 nanoparticles have similar specific surface area, the less O sur contains, the lower catalytic activity will be. Meanwhile, crystallinity is not the influence factor of catalytic activity. Bamboo‐like CeO 2 (B‐CeO 2 ) nanoparticles show excellent catalytic activity and the reaction conditions are optimized. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of B‐CeO 2 nanoparticles decreases very slightly after 15 cycles of the catalysis experiment. Therefore, B‐CeO 2 nanoparticles can serve as effective recyclable peroxidase mimics.
