Interaction of [Ce(L(OEt))(2)(NO(3))(2)] (L(OEt)(-) = [Co(eta(5)-C(5)H(5)){P(O)(OEt)(2)}(3)](-)) with (NH(4))(6)[Mo(7)O(24)] in water affords the cerium(iv)-containing oxomolybdenum cluster [H(4)(CeL(OEt))(6)Mo(9)O(38)], which exhibits a unique Ce(6)Mo(9)O(38) core structure.

Rare earth cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles are stabilized using end-functional phosphonated-PEG oligomers. The complexation process and structure of the resulting hybrid core-shell singlet nanocolloids are described, characterized, and modeled using light and neutron scattering data. The adsorption mechanism is nonstoichiometric, yielding the number of adsorbed chains per particle N(ads) = 2...

Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted attention due to their six-fold specific energy compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries. Dissolution of lithium polysulfides, volume expansion of sulfur and uncontrollable deposition of lithium sulfide are three of the main challenges for this technology. State-of-the-art sulfur cathodes based on metal-oxide nanostructures can suppress the shuttl...

This study aims to look at the advancement of scientific publications related cerium oxide nanoparticles through a bibliometric approach using qualitative methods with descriptive statistics on literature studies articles. Two types software are used: Publish or Perish and VOSviewer. is used as source search for various relevant articles Google Scholar database, keyword "Cerium Oxide Nanopartic...

Cerium was separated from the light rare earths by ignition of the nitrates whereby the cerous nitrate was decomposed to eerie oxide. Small scale investigations were made using sodium nitrate and magnesium nitrate hexahydrate as fluxes. A cost estimate based on data from the small scale investigations showed the sodium nitrate ignition to be more economical; therefore, bench scale investigation...

Nanoscale manganese oxides within Faujasite zeolite have been synthesized with a simple method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, N(2) adsorption-desorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic absorption spectroscopy. These oxides showed efficient water oxidizing activity in the presence of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate as a non-...

According to UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nano-sized manganese oxides are proposed as active catalysts for water oxidation in the reaction of some manganes...

Z. Naturforsch. 58b, 211 – 216 (2003); received Oktober 4, 2002 The oxidative coupling of various symmetric (5 7) as well as unsymmetric silicon bisnaphtholates (11, 12), initiated by different oxidants (iron(III), cerium(IV), copper(II) or hypervalent iodine), furnishes the corresponding symmetric and unsymmetric binaphthols 13 17. The coupling reaction of the substrates follows strictly an in...

Primary aquo species of tetravalent cerium (Ce(IV)) in perchloric acid has been identified as a single oxo-bridging dinuclear complex, not a mononuclear one, by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
