Controlled Fabrication and Properties of Ce0.5Zr0.5O 2 Solid Solutions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The nanocrystals Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 solid solutions with various morphologies and crystal structures have been synthesized via a modified sol-gel method assisted with a template. Aerosol OT and/or ionic liquids ([MMIM]Cl] and [BMIM]Cl]) was used as a template. The characterization results of the X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and N2 adsorption at 77 K indicate that the physical properties of the solid solutions were significantly affected by the templates used and the calcination temperatures. The Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 calcined at 773 K possessed bimodal mesopores, narrow pore size distributions, and tetragonal phase.
