abstract

cerium oxide (ceo2) or ceria has been shown to be an interesting support material for noble metals in catalysts designed for emission control, mainly due to its oxygen storage capacity. ceria nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method. the precursor materials used in this research were cerium nitrate hexahydrate (as a basic material), potassium carbonate and potassium hydroxide (as precipitants). the morphological properties were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) and uv-vis spectrophotometer. xrd results showed face centered cubic ceo2 nanoparticles for annealed nanoparticles at 1000°c. sem measurement showed that by increasing the calcinations temperature from 200 to 600°c, the crystallite size decreased from 90 to 28 nm. the sem results showed that the size of the ceo2 nanoparticles decreased with increasing temperature. the particle size of ceo2 was around 25 nm as estimated by xrd technique and direct hrtem observation. sem and tem studies showed that the morphology of the prepared powder was sphere-like with a narrow size distribution. the sharp peaks in ftir spectrum determined the purity of ceo2 nanoparticles and absorbance peak of uv-vis spectrum showed the small band gap energy of 3.26 ev.

Diethylene Glycol-Mediated Synthesis of Nano-Sized Ceria (CeO2 )Catalyst

Nano-crystalline particles of CeO2 have been synthesized by a low temperature chemical precipitation method. The precursor materials used in this research were Ce(NO3)3.6H2O, NaOH and diethylene glycol as surfactant. X-ray powder diffraction results showed that face centered cubic CeO2 nanoparticles with crystalline size in nanometer scale were formed. Scanning electron microscopy measurement s...

Synthesis of Polybutadiene Nanoparticles via Emulsion Polymerization: Effect of Reaction Temperature on the Polymer Microstructure, Particle Size and Reaction Kinetics

Polybutadiene nanoparticles were synthesized via batch emulsion polymerization of butadiene in the presence of potassium persulfate, disproportionate rosinate potassium cation and t-dodecyl mercaptane as initiator, emulsifier and chain transfer agent, respectively. Polymerization reaction was performed at different temperatures (60, 70 and 80 °C). Conversion was measured at the various time int...
