In this article, CeO2-La2O3-CuO ternary oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using co-precipitation method. Taguchi experimental design was used for producing high surface area ternary oxides. The effect of precipitating agent and its concentration, percentage of lanthanum and copper, calcination temperature, and calcination time, on the surface area of nanoparticles, were studied. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by SEM, BET surface area, XRD, EDX, N2 adsorption isotherm, and BJH pore size distributions. The maximum surface area obtained for these nanoparticles was 99.4 m 2 /g. Also, performance of ternary oxides was examined in the reactor test, as a catalyst.
