Mesoporous ceria–zirconia solid solutions were prepared by a novel salt-assisted combustion process using ethylene glycol as a fuel and nitrate as an oxidant. The effects of various operating conditions such as the fuel-to-oxidant ratio and the nature and amount of added salt on the characteristics...
