We developed a simple electrochemical process for the large-scale fabrication of single crystalline CeO2 octahedrons and nanospheres from DMSO aqueous solution. The with some structural defects have size ranging 200 to 300 nm. Moreover, highly were also obtained via this based on oriented attachment mechanism. absorption edge spheres shows red-shift, that was near visible region.
