Abstract:

Ceria (CeO2) nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a sonochemical method in ambient air and alkali aqueous solution from CeO2 nanoparticles without using any templates. The results showed that both alkali concentration and ultrasonic irradiation played critical roles in the formation of the nanowires. The crystalline structure and dimensions of the nanowires were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The UV-visible absorption spectrum result showed that the products had conspicuous shape-specific effect. Microstructural analysis in HRTEM revealed that the preferential growth direction of CeO2 nanowires was [110]. Moreover, the catalytic activity of Au/CeO2 using CeO2 nanowires as support for CO conversion was higher than that obtained using bulk CeO2 as support.
