Morphology-Controllable Synthesis of Mesoporous CeO2 Nano- and Microstructures
Abstract
Spherical cerium oxide nanoparticles and microsized rod-shaped and spindle-like CeO 2 structures have been synthesized using a polyol method. When the duration of reaction and the concentration of cerium precursor are controlled, CeO 2 products of different morphologies can be selectively produced. Results from XRD, XPS, SEM, and FT-IR measurements suggest that the CeO 2 nanospheres are formed from the decomposition of the cerium precursor. Further reactions between the as-prepared CeO 2 and ethylene glycol yield the rods/spindle-like cerium formate particles. These morphologies are preserved even after calcination. The order of band gap energy of these samples was found to be rod-shaped > spherical > spindle-like samples, as determined by the UV−Vis spectroscopic method. Compared to a nonoriented polycrystalline CeO 2, these samples show an increase in band gap energy due to the quantum size effect. The higher catalytic activity on CO conversion in a spindle-like sample can be explained from the extent of Ce(IV) reduction and the oxygen vacancy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
