Abstract: A number of catalysts based on cerium oxide have been synthesized to study the process of plasma-catalytic decomposition of CO$_2$ in a barrier discharge. For the first time, an oxide catalyst MgCe–Al has been compared with samples containing in the composition only cerium oxide or magnesium oxide. It has been established that, in the presence of the MgCe–Al sample, the highest degree of the CO$_2$ decomposition and highest energy efficiency get achieved.

Keywords: barrier discharge, cerium oxide, low temperature plasma, catalyst, CO$_2$ decomposition.
