In view of this, a series of NiMg-cop catalysts with varying Ni/Mg molar ratios and Ce loadings were synthesized by co-precipitation, and the effects of preparation methods and Ce doping on CO<sub>2</sub> methanation performance were investigated. The results indicated that the catalyst 0.75NiMg-cop exhibited the excellent catalytic performance, holding 85.6% CO<sub>2</sub> conversion and 100% CH<sub>4</sub> selectivity at 300°C.

Moreover, it demonstrated an outstanding stability during a 48 h time-on-stream test at 300°C, indicating superior resistance to sintering. Characterizations revealed that the co-precipitation method contributed to the formation of highly active Ni sites and small crystallite sizes. Furthermore, the addition of Ce facilitated the dispersion and reduction of the Ni species while effectively lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
