Morphological and structural control of nanostructured <100> oriented CeO2 films grown on random metallic substrates

Metal–Organic Derivatives with Fluorinated Ligands as Precursors for Inorganic Nanomaterials

“…112,380,453−455 The X-ray patterns of all samples grown in the 350−550°C temperature range pointed to the formation of (100) oriented CeO 2 films, while at higher deposition temperatures (650−850°C) random CeO 2 films were formed. As expected, the surface morphology depended on the deposition temperature and changed from star-like grains to round-shaped islands upon increasing the deposition temperature for a constant deposition time of 1 h. 455 The SEM images of CeO 2 samples, deposited in the 350−550°C range, showed uniform, adherent films with well-linked grains ( Figure 38). …”

CeO2nanoparticles synthesized by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method: evolution from nanospheres to nanorods

“…7 Lin and Chowdhury 8 published a review on nanostructured cerium oxide and its various applications, especially several industrially important reactions, including lowtemperature CO oxidation, UV absorbing semiconductor materials, partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, hydrogenation of carbon oxides, and wastewater treatment. In this context, several strategies have been developed to obtain CeO 2 nanostructures with different morphologies, e.g., hydrothermal and solvothermal, and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) [21][22][23][24] methods. Among these methods, hydrothermal treatments appear to be potentially interesting in terms of morphological variations.…”

High-speed epitaxial growth of (100)-oriented CeO2 film on r-cut sapphire by laser chemical vapor deposition

“…It was found that the (111) plane rather than the (100) plane were more preferable to be exposed as ending planes in the surface of CeO 2 . The (111) plane had a lower surface energy than that of the (100) plane [22,23]; therefore, they were energetically favorable to be formed on the surface at the late deposition stage of CeO 2 film [22][23][24][25]. A part of (111) facets overlapped each other at the ends of the elongated grains.…”
