Abstract:CeO 2 films were fabricated by combining both a modified spray pyrolysis and the vapour transport deposition techniques. Two different precursors, cerium chloride and cerium acetate, were explored. In our approach, the pyrolytic process was not concomitant with the spray deposition and the introduction of the vapour transport condition has showed to improve both the morphological and optical quality of the films. Samples obtained from cerium chloride show a porous morphology, usual for polycrystalline CeO 2 la… Show more
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.
