Nanostructured CeO2 thin films: A SAXS study of the interface between grains and pores

Structural, optical and electrochromic properties of cerium dioxide thin films prepared by sol–gel dip coating method

“…Cyclic voltammetry experiments were carried out in a conventional three-electrode electrochemical cell with 1 M LiClO 4 /PC electrolyte where a platinum wire and a silver wire were used as a counter and reference electrode, respectively. These values were compatible with the literature for one-layer air deposited films [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. 4.…”

“…1. Ce-OH bond is present in the wave number region of 3200-3300 while in plane bending of water molecule is observed at 1587 cm À 1 [16][17][18]. First weight loss (%6.6) of the powder appeared nearly at 60 1C, assigned to desorption of physically adsorbed water and/or organic solvent the other peaks were nearly placed at 180 1C, 205 1C and 305 1C.…”

Effect of annealing temperature on oxygen vacancy concentrations of nanocrystalline CeO2 film

“…However, there are few reports focused on controlling oxygen vacancies by annealing treatment in nanocrystalline CeO 2 films. CeO 2 thin films have been prepared by many methods such as pulsed laser deposition [17], sol-gel [18], electro-deposition [19], chemical vapor deposition [20], ion beam assisted deposition [21] and radio-frequency magnetron sputtering [22].…”

Metal Oxide Nano-particles and Nano-composite Polymer Electrolytes - Electrodes and Electrolytes in Solar and Galvanic Cells of the Second Generation

“…In XRD measurements (12) the crystallite or grain size of these films was estimated using the Scherrer equation where λ is the X-ray wavelength, θ is the Bragg angle and β is the pure full width of the diffraction line at half of the maximum intensity. Cerium based films were investigated as well as with 2D-GISAXS measurements at synchrotron ELETTRA (13)(14)(15).…”
