Binary Ce–Zr (CZ), trinary Ce–Zr–Pr (CZP), Ce–Zr–Nd (CZN) mixed oxides were prepared by coprecipitation. The structural and textural properties were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, Raman and X-ray absorption near-edge spectra (XANES) techniques, while the oxygen storage capacity (OSC) was evaluated under both dynamic and static conditions at 500 °C. The doping of Pr or Nd cations causes the lattice deformation of the tetragonal Zr-rich mixed oxides to form a pseudocubic structure and prevents the phase demixing after calcination in flowing steam/air at 1050 °C for 5 h. After the hydrothermal ageing treatment, the doped samples show higher BET surface areas and better oxygen mobility. Pr exists mainly in the form of trivalent cations in the aged CZP and functions primarily as the doping element with large ionic radius instead of redox couple Pr3+/Pr4+, which may introduce more Ce3+ species and hereby more lattice defects. Among the aged samples, CZP shows the best oxygen storage capacity and the fastest oxygen release rate.
