Abstract: Pr (Ⅳ) composite oxides Ce0.8Pr0.2O2 was prepared by means of ozonizing the co-precipitated Ce(Ⅱ)and Pr(Ⅱ) hydroxides or heating the coprecipitated Ce(Ⅱ) and Pr(Ⅱ) ox-alates.Chemical analysis and X-ray powder diffraction results show that this compound has a flourite structure similar to CeO2 and PrO2, but its crystal cell constants are different from theirs obviously.In this compound Pr(Ⅳ) is more stable than in pure PrO2, we can attribute this to the existence of Ce(Ⅳ), which makes Pr (Ⅳ)—O2- distance longer than in other Pr(Ⅳ) oxides.
