Biopolymer Xanthan Gum as Promising Template for Facile Synthesis of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles and Application as Reusable Catalyst for Reduction of Nitroaromatic Compounds
Abstract:Herein, we report first time the biopolymer xanthan gum as template for facile synthesis of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles via co-precipitation method using ultrasonication technique. The formation of nanosized particles of CeO2 in the range of 11-32 nm with précised size and shape, as evidenced from morphological analysis. Further the polymer xanthan gum offers a versatile platform to control the morphological features and thereby the catalytic activity of CeO2. The prominent peaks in X-ray photoelectron s… Show more
