Enhancing the optical emission of cerium oxide nanoparticles is essential for potential biomedical applications. In present work, we report a simple chemical precipitation technique to synthesize europium-doped nanostructures enhance properties. Structural and properties showed an acute dependence on concentration oxygen ion vacancy trivalent cerium, which, in turn, could be modified by dopant annealing temperature. Results from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy increase tetravalent 85% at...
Ceria nanoparticles with 20 and 40 at.% RE (RE = Y, Sm, Gd, Yb) dopants were synthesized through a microemulsion method. Independently of the dopant nature concentration, nearly monodispersed size 3–5 nm observed in high resolution transmission electron microscopic analysis. The ceria lattice either expands or contracts depending on cation ionic radii, as indicated by x-ray diffraction studies. X-ray photoelectron Raman spectroscopic studies used to quantify cerium oxidation state oxygen...
Hydrogen is an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuels and considered as a renewable energy carrier for meeting the ever-increasing demand. Although hydrogen abundant on earth in form of compounds such water, producing molecular demands large amount energy. A solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) electrochemical device which generates from various sources. An SOEC uses high temperature (>800°C) electrolyse water with efficiency assisted by thermodynamically...
