Synthesis and characterization of CeO2 nanoparticles by hydrothermal method

Abstract Crystalline structure, phase and surface morphology of ceria nanostructure was discussed in detail in the recent work. Our latest work is persistent on ceria nanostructure by conventional and plant extract – mediated synthesis starting from cerium nitrate as precursors for putrefaction of pollutant in the industrial wastewater. The crystalline structure, surface morphology, phases, functional groups and size were examined by assorted characterization techniques like powder X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Therefore, the pure phases of ceria nanostructure were investigated by XRD analysis. The surface morphology, shape and unique size of synthesised ceria established through electron microscopy were reported in detail.
