In this paper, Ce_1-xMg_xO₂ (x=0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) solid solution catalytic materials with different molar ratios were successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. These materials were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption test, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), CO₂ temperature-programmed desorption (CO₂-TPD) and other techniques. It was found that the particle size, specific surface area, surface defects, etc. of the prepared Ce_1-xMg_xO₂ catalytic materials can be tuned by regulating the content of Mg in the CeO₂ lattice. Among them, Ce_0.90Mg_0.10O₂ exhibited the best surface properties, with the smallest average particle size of about 5.8 nm, the largest specific surface area of about 136 m²·g^-1, and the highest surface oxygen content (31.98%). Ce_1-xMg_xO₂ catalytic material was coated on the cordierite honeycomb ceramic to make a monolithic catalyst, and its catalytic performance for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from CO₂ and CH₃OH was investigated. Under the conditions of 140℃, 2.4 MPa, and 2 h reaction, the yield of dimethyl carbonate on Ce_0.90Mg_0.10O₂ monolith catalyst was as high as 20.21%, and the catalytic activity was significantly higher than that of CeO₂ and other Ce_1-xMg_xO₂ (x=0.05, 0.15, 0.20) catalytic materials.
