description A series of FeO<i><sub>x</sub></i>-MnO<sub>2</sub>-CeO<sub>2</sub> catalysts were synthesized by the surfactant-templated coprecipitation method and applied for HCHO removal. The influence of Fe/Mn/Ce molar ratio on the catalytic performance was investigated, and the FeO<i><sub>x</sub></i>-MnO<sub>2</sub>-CeO<sub>2</sub> catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity, with complete HCHO conversion at low temperatures (40 °C) when the molar ratio of Fe/Mn/Ce was 2/5/5. The catalysts were characterized by N<sub>2</sub> adsorption and desorption, XRD, H<sub>2</sub>-TPR, O<sub>2</sub>-TPD and XPS techniques to illustrate their structure–activity relationships. The result revealed that the introduction of FeO<i><sub>x</sub></i> into MnO<sub>2</sub>-CeO<sub>2</sub> formed a strong interaction between FeO<i><sub>x</sub></i>-MnO<sub>2</sub>-CeO<sub>2</sub>, which facilitated the improved dispersion of MnO<sub>2</sub>-CeO<sub>2</sub>, subsequently increasing the surface area and aiding pore development. This promotion effect of Fe enhanced the reducibility and produced abundant surface-active oxygen. In addition, a great number of O<sub>α</sub> is beneficial to the intermediate decomposition, whereas the existence of Ce<sup>3+</sup> favors the formation of oxygen vacancies on the surface of the catalyst, all of which contributed to HCHO oxidation at low temperatures.
