Synthesis of Nanocrystalline CeO₂ with High Surface Area and Mesoporosity Using Template-Assisted Precipitation Method
Main Article Content
Abstract
Nanocrystalline ceria with high surface area and mesoporosity was prepared by template-assisted precipitation method. The method of preparation was facile, using low-cost reagents and could be performed on a large scale. Cerium oxide support was characterized by Brunauer – Emmett – Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The optimal conditions for cerium oxide synthesis were using cerium nitrate precursor, adjusting the final pH solution to 11.4 by NH₄OH and ethylene diamine (EDA) and calcination at 550 °C in air for 3 hours. With these conditions, nanocrystalline CeO₂ was obtained with high surface area of 159.5 m²/g.
