Abstract

Nanocrystalline ceria synthesized by different methods have been characterized using TGA-EGA-MS, XRD and HR-TEM. All samples showed stable cubic fluorite structure down to 6 nm particle size. A reduction in lattice parameter with particle size was observed. Effects of synthesis conditions on nano-ceria and grain growth with annealing temperature are discussed.
