This study outlines the design of a comprehensive chemical experiment to synthesize Ni-based nanocatalysts with varying grain sizes for biofuel production. Ni/CeO₂、Ni/CeO₂-SiO₂and Ni/SiO₂ nanomaterials were prepared via a conventional impregnation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The integrated scientific training process—from catalyst synthesis and structural characterization to performance evaluation—not only cultivate students’ comprehensive experimental skills, but also enhance their research literacy. This experiment aims to illuminate the intrinsic relationship between material structure and function, fostering a curiosity for investigating the unknown in the scientific realm. Moreover, the experiment incorporates a curricular focus on the “energy crisis”, heightening students’ awareness of current energy and environmental challenges, and inspiring a personal commitment to environmental stewardship.
