Thermophoresis-assisted vapour phase synthesis of CeO2 and CexY1−xO2−δ nanoparticles

Mechanosynthesis and structural characterization of nanocrystalline Ce1–Y O2– (x=0.1–0.35) solid solutions

“…In the last few years, a growing interest has been devoted to the synthesis of nanocrystalline Ce 1-x M x O 2-δ solid solutions using various routes such as combustion process [11], coprecipitation [12], hydrothermal synthesis [13], sol-gel techniques [14], glycine nitrate process [15], thermolysis [16], thermophoresis-assisted vapor phase synthesis [17], Pechini 3 method [18], etc. However, complicated reaction steps of these chemical routes, often leading to the non-reproducibility of the synthesis, and relatively high costs of reactants have prevented their commercial applications.…”

Study of structural and transport properties of nanostructured CeO2, Ce1−xRuxO2 and Ce1−xInxO2 thin films

“…Many physical deposition techniques, such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD) 11–12, magnetron sputtering 13, electron beam evaporation 14, and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) 15, have been used to produce CeO 2 films. Several chemical methods have also been applied, such as sol–gel 16, metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition (MOVCD) 9, aerosol‐assisted MOCVD 17, mist microwave‐plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) 5, atomic layer deposition (ALD) 18, and spray pyrolysis 19.…”

“…Another technique used to produce ceria based materials is thermophoresis assisted vapour phase synthesis. 129 This method has been used to prepare nanoparticles of CeO 2 and Ce x Y 1Àx O 2Àd . These nanosized samples contain a large density of oxide ion vacancies and a large volume to surface ratio.…”
