Cerium Oxide Nanostructures and their Applications

Abstract

Due to excellent physical and chemical properties, cerium oxide (ceria, CeO2 ) has attracted much attention in recent years. This chapter aimed at providing some ) has attracted much attention in recent years. This chapter aimed at providing some basic Due to excellent physical and chemical properties, cerium oxide (ceria, CeO2 ) has attracted much attention in recent years. This chapter aimed at providing some basic and fundamental properties of ceria, the importance of oxygen vacancies in this attracted much attention in recent years. This chapter aimed at providing some basic and fundamental properties of ceria, the importance of oxygen vacancies in this material, nano‐size effects and various synthesis strategies to form diverse structural and fundamental properties of ceria, the importance of oxygen vacancies in this material, nano‐size effects and various synthesis strategies to form diverse structural morphologies. Finally, some key applications of ceria‐based nanostructures are material, nano‐size effects and various synthesis strategies to form diverse structural morphologies. Finally, some key applications of ceria‐based nanostructures are reviewed. We conclude this chapter by expressing personal perspective on the probable morphologies. Finally, some key applications of ceria‐based nanostructures are reviewed. We conclude this chapter by expressing personal perspective on the probable challenges and developments of the controllable synthesis of CeO2 nanomaterials for perspective on the probable challenges and developments of the controllable synthesis of CeO2 nanomaterials for reviewed.
