%X Nanosized Ru (1 wt %) supported over CeO2¨CZrO2 solid solution nanorods have been prepared via a one step hydrothermal approach and verified its activity in partial oxidation of methane at 800 ¡ãC with CH4: O2 = 2:1 for 200 h in a downflow, fixed-bed, microreactor. The so prepared catalysts have been characterized with a variety of analytical tools. Characterization results confirm higher dispersion of nanosized Ru over CeO2¨CZrO2 solid solution possess strong metal support interaction and higher oxygen storage capacity of the CeO2¨CZrO2 solid solution in comparison to only ceria or zirconia. We do not observe any deactivation during 200 h TOS study with 1% Ru supported over CeO2¨CZrO2 solid solution, whereas there is a significant activity loss due to coke deposition; metal oxidation it observed only with ceria- or zirconia-supported catalysts
