Abstract:Ceria nanomaterials with facile Ce III/IV redox behavior are used in sensing, catalytic, and therapeutic applications, where inclusion of Ce III has been correlated with reactivity. Understanding assembly pathways of CeO 2 nanoparticles (NC-CeO 2 ) in water has been challenged by "blind" synthesis, including rapid assembly/precipitation promoted by heat or strong base. Here, we identify a layered phase denoted Ce−I with a proposed formula Ce IV (OH) 3 (NO 3 )•xH 2 O (x ≈ 2.5), obtained by adding electrolytes t… Show more
