Ceria-zirconia (CZ) solid solution is a promising ecofriendly catalyst for a wide variety of applications in the research field with unlimited role in modern technology. It is a possible alternative solution to the technology industries due to the fact that it fulfils the concept of the zero emission of automotive exhaust gas. The preparation method and composition of the components could determine the particle size, homogeneity, reliability and textural as well as the morphological properties of the CZ solid solution. The properties like surface area, pore volume, pore size, thermal and mechanical stability and surface features have been recognised as the vital parameters inducing the increased catalyst activity in CZ solid solution. This overview paid much special attention on the characteristics, synthesis methods, effect of metal dopants and supports on the CZ solid solution, along with the chemical reactions catalysed by them. Redox property, oxygen storage capacity, effect of composition, calcination temperature, chemical filing process, super-acid properties of CZ solid solutions are also discussed.
