Popis: Mixed oxides based on nickel, cerium and aluminum, effective in the catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds, were prepared by a coprecipitation route and studied by XRD, TEM, XPS and ion sputtering techniques. The CeNixOy mixed oxides (0⩽x⩽1) can be described as a mixture of nickel oxide and ceria modified by the insertion of nickel cations in its lattice. Ion sputtering followed by XPS analysis has been very useful for estimating the size of NiO clusters present in the compounds, too small to be detected by XRD and TEM. Among the different CeNixOy catalysts studied, the CeNi0.5Oy solid presents the highest number of interactions between Ce4+ cations and Ni2+ cations, located either in the solid solution of cerium–nickel and/or at the NiO/CeO2 interface. In the CeAlzNixOy series (0
