“…50,51 Due to its wide range of applications, researchers are focusing more on synthesizing CeO 2based materials of controlled size, shape, and morphology as the size, shape, and morphology significantly affect the physicochemical properties and hence their application potential. [52][53][54][55] Accordingly, different chemical approaches such as precipitation, [55][56][57] sol-gel, 48 hydrothermal, 58,59 thermal decompositions, 49 and solution combustion 60 have been extensively used for the synthesis of CeO 2 NPs. However, researchers put more emphasis on the precipitation method because the precipitation approach is the simplest, most environmentally friendly, most cost-effective, and easy to scale up.…”
