Supercritical hydrothermal synthesis of hydrophilic polymer-modified water-dispersible CeO₂nanoparticles

Hybrid nanocomposite from aniline and CeO2 nanoparticles: Surface protective performance on mild steel in acidic environment

“…1 displays the IR spectra of synthesized CeO 2 nanoparticles. From the spectra, it is clear that the fundamental stretching bands (Ce−O) for CeO 2 materials are acquired in the range of 400-600 cm −1 and in particular, the peak observed at 838 cm −1 is attributed to the metal-oxygen bond [15]. In addition to the peaks in the 820-1600 cm −1 and 2650-3000 cm −1 range, the peak due to the stretching of Ce-O is found at 734 cm −1 .…”

Surfactant-assisted formation of organophilic CeO2 nanoparticles

“…Water-soluble polymers (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol or polyacrylic acid) were employed in the reaction mixture as surface modifiers. As a result, 20 nm cuboctahedral water-dispersible CeO 2 nanoparticles were obtained [19]. Using a similar strategy, Yu et al synthesized high quality CeO 2 nanocrystals by stabilization with the double hydrophilic block copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(methacrylic acid) as a stabilizer [20].…”

Thermal, Mechanical and UV-Shielding Properties of Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)/Cerium Dioxide Hybrid Systems Obtained by Melt Compounding

“…CeO 2 has shown good thermal and chemical stabilities, a high refractive index in the visible region (2.1-2.2), good transmittance in the visible spectrum and low cost due to the fact that it is one of the most abundant rare earth elements [13][14][15]. It has also potential applications such as in fuel and solar cells, catalysts, oxygen sensors, polishing agents, gate oxides, optical devices and coating materials [16][17][18]. Moreover, due to its broad band gap (BG) of 2.7-3.4 eV, depending on the preparation method, effective absorption in the ultraviolet range can be ensured by this material (λ < 400 nm) [7,19].…”
