The paper describes the preparation and characterization of nano-size metastable tetragonal CeO2–ZrO2 mixed oxides prepared by a polymerized complex method. A glycine–ethylene glycol solution containing Ce3+ and Zr4+ ions was polymerized at 80–110 °C to form a viscous transparent resin without any visible precipitation. After heat-treatment at relatively low temperature (ca 250 °C) on a hot plate in static air, the solid precursor ignited in part due to self-combustion, resulting in the formation of a nanocrystalline, compositionally-homogeneous solid solution. Its structure was confirmed using X-ray diffraction, HRTEM and Raman spectroscopy. The phase separation in CeO2–ZrO2 system on a subsequent heat-treatment in air and in a mixture of H2 and He was also investigated up to 1100 °C.
