ABSTRACT |
Nanosized CeO$_2$Powders were prepared under high temperature and pressure conditions by precipitation from metal nitrates with aqueous potassium hydroxide. Spherical shape of CeO$_2$powder was obtained at 175$^{circ}C$ for 6h. TEM and X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the synthesized particle was crystalline. The average size and size distribution of the synthesized particles were below 30 nm and narrow, respectively. In addition, the effects of synthesis parameters under hydrothermal process are discussed. |
