. Using such techniques we show that the thermal decomposition of both monoclinic and bCe(SO4)2·4H2O in air at 500°C leads to the formation of cerous sulphate. Use of various atmospheres (air/N2/vacuum) and temperature profiles for the decomposition by the different researchers may be responsible for the discrepancies between literature results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
