It is generally accepted that carbon dioxide (CO 2) is one of the most important greenhouse
gases and a primary factor in the acceleration of climate change. Methanation, which …

Cerium dioxide clearly raises the question of whether spontaneous ferromagnetic order is
possible at high temperatures without d-electrons. There are many reports in the literature of …

Here we report the photocatalytic activity of CeO2 nanoparticles. This is carried out with
methyl orange as the reference pollutant. Annealing of ceria under vacuum generates …

Ce1− xPrxO2− δ (0≤ x≤ 0.4) nanocrystals were synthesized by self-propagating method
and thoroughly characterized using X-ray diffraction, Raman and X-ray photoelectron …

Nanocrystalline CeO 2 films with around 250 nm thickness were deposited on Si (0 0 1)
substrates by a facile sol–gel process with spin coating method. The films are of cubic …

Integrated with friction-reduction, anti-wear, and anticorrosion capacities, a novel fluorinated
graphene (FG) composite coating has been developed to address the need for effective …

In this study, the preparation of CeO 2/TiO 2 nanotubes (CeO 2/TiO 2–NTs) is demonstrated
using the hydrothermal method. The conditions for the synthesis were optimised using the …

The magnetism of nanoparticles and thin films of wide-bandgap oxides that include no
magnetic cations is an unsolved puzzle. Progress has been hampered by both the …

Integration of functional oxides on Si substrates could open a pathway to integrate diverse
devices on Si-based technology. Oxygen vacancies (Vo··) can strongly affect solid state …

Abstract Mesoporous structured Ni (10 wt%)/CeO 2, prepared via a simple incipient wetness
impregnation of mesoporous CeO 2, was used as a novel catalyst for the maleic anhydride …
