Temperature-Sensitive Template for Preparation of ZnO/CeO₂ Composite Photocatalytic Materials and Its Catalytic Performance.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a series of thermosensitive ionic liquid functionalized polymers, PN_x(IL)_y, with controllable morphology and particle size were prepared by free radical polymerization. Then, using the polymer PN₆₄(IL)₈ with uniform morphology as a templating agent, the ZnO composite photocatalytic materials doped with rare earth metal Ce were prepared in combination with a microwave-assisted and templated hydrothermal reaction method. Series different Ce-doping amount photocatalytic materials ZnO-Ce-x‱ were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, and other methods. The results demonstrated that the templated materials PN₆₄(IL)₈ can prepare ZnO-Ce-2‱ with uniform petaloid ambulacra shape, good distribution of elements, and excelle
