cerium oxide (ceria) nano particle, as photodegradation prevention agent was studied in water-based polyurethane clear coat  systems. polyurethane coatings show superior weathering resistance compared with acrylic melamine systems. however, any chemical change has detrimental effects on the property profile of pu coatings. coatings containing various amounts of cerium oxide nanoparticles were p...

Nanoparticles of palladium-doped cerium oxide (Pd–CeO2) have been prepared by aqueous co-precipitation resulting in a single phase cubic structure after calcination according to X-ray diffraction (XRD). Inhomogeneous strain, calculated using the Williamson–Hall method, was found to increase with palladium content, and the lattice contracts slightly, relative to nano-cerium oxide, as palladium c...

Two simple, accurate and precise methods are described for the determination of propranolol hydrochloride with cerium(IV) sulphate. The titrimetric method is based on the oxidation of the drug by a known excess amount of cerium(IV) sulphate and back titration of the unconsumed oxidant with ammonium ferrous sulphate. In the spectrophotometric method, the unreacted cerium(IV) sulphate is treated ...

Cerium oxides have attracted much attention because of their uses in three-way catalysts and other catalyst applications. The redox reaction of cerium oxides, as the basis of their use as catalysts, usually takes place at high temperature (>600 K) and/or low oxygen partial pressure. There have been continuous efforts to lower the operating temperatures of cerium oxide further to improve the per...

in this research, a new technetium-99m generator has been developed with addition of cerium oxide to alumina column.  the adsorption behaviors of 99mo in the form of molybdate and 99mtc in the form of pertechnetate on ceo2/al2o3 was investigated and showed that the adsorption capacity of molybdate on this generator is higher than usual generator using al2o3. ceric ions were selected as an addit...

The activity of cerium alkoxide complexes supported by a Schiff base ligand was controlled using redox reagents during the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide. The rate of L-lactide polymerization was modified by switching in situ between the cerium(III) and cerium(IV) species.

Applying succinic acid as a versatile bidentate ligand to coordinate to cerium, resulted to a complex. The obtained crystalline complex was characterized by IR and melting point, then calcined at a certain temperature which was found by TGA method. Since in the first step, altering organic ligand type will affect on shape of precursor and as a result on the nano oxide, and in the next step, cal...

A facile, solvothermal synthesis of mesoporous cerium oxide nanospheres is reported for the purpose of the photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes and future applications in sustainable energy research. The earth-abundant, relatively affordable, mixed valence cerium oxide sample, which consists of predominantly Ce7O12, has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron a...
