Morphology-Controllable Synthesis of CeO2on a Pt Electrode
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanoscale cerium dioxides with shape of nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanotubes were electrochemically synthesized. The morphology of CeO2 was modulated by changing electrode potential and potential direction. CeO2 nanorods and CeO2 nanotubes were synthesized via the potentiostatic and cyclic voltammeteric methods, respectively. The morphology and structure of the obtained CeO2 were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A possible formation mechanism has been suggested to illuminate the relationship between the preparation condition and the morphology of CeO2.

Space-confined fabrication of silver nanodendrites and their enhanced SERS activity.
Here we report a controllable method based on electrodeposition to fabricate Ag nanodendrites (NDs) on a microwell patterned electrode. The microwell patterns on the ITO electrode are fabricated via the microcontact printing technique. By varying the microwell size and electrodeposition time, the morphology of metal deposits on the microwell patterned ITO electrode can be tuned from boulders to...
متن کاملSynthesis and Morphology of Face Centered Cubic (FCC) Fe-Pt Nanoparticles
FePt nanoparticles with thermally stable room-temperature ferromagnetism are investigated. The monodisperse nanoparticles are prepared by chemical synthesis and a salt-matrix annealing technique. Structural and magnetic characterizations confirm the phase transition from the disordered face-centered cubic structure. In this paper, 3 nm FePt nanoparticles are first synthesized by superhydride re...
