Up　to　date,　to　design　the　efficient　catalysts　for　CO2　reforming　with　ethanol　is　of　great　challenge　due　to　the　severe　coke　deposition.　In　this　work,　MOF　derived　CoCeOx　nanocomposite　(CoCe-MOF)　with　outstanding　performance　for　ethanol　dry　reforming　was　successfully　prepared.　Indeed,　the　experimental　results　revealed　that　ethanol　conversion　was　97%　with　a　H-2/CO　ratio　of　ca.1　and　negligible　acetone　formation　(0.4　mol%)　at　550　degrees　C　which　was　better　than　that　of　Co3O4/CeO2　synthesized　by　impregnation　technique.　Moreover,　no　obvious　deactivation　was　observed　even　after　40　h　time-on-stream　tests　for　CoCe-MOF　catalyst.　Interestingly,　ethanol　conversion　over　CoCe-MOF　slightly　decreased　from　99%　to　96%　while　the　value　over　Co3O4/CeO2　sample　remarkably　declined　from　90%　to　79%　as　well　as　the　increase　of　byproduct　formation　(acetone　from　1.1　mol%　to　1.9　mol%).　Particularly,　the　relationship　between　catalytic　performance　and　morphology　structure　were　investigated　in　detail　by　a　series　of　characterization　technique　such　as　XRD,　H-2-TPR,　BET,　XPS,　TEM,　Raman　etc.　The　results　demonstrated　that　the　uniform　aliovalent　incorporation　of　Co　into　CeO2　framework　greatly　improved　the　physicochemical　features　of　the　CoCe-MOF　catalyst　including　the　generation　of　more　oxygen　defects/surface　oxygen　species　(14,5%　of　Ce3+　species),　stronger　Co-O-Ce　interaction,　lower　temperature　reducibility　etc.　Hence,　these　positive　factors　might　explain　its　high　activity　and　stability.　Eventually,　this　study　might　provide　a　simple　method　to　develop　the　high-performance　catalysts　for　dry　reforming　process　and　other　heterogeneous　catalytic　reactions.
