Synthesis of CeO₂ assemblies through interaction with short-chain dicarboxylic acids under facile hydrothermal conditions.

ABSTRACT: CeO₂ assemblies with various morphologies were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method using short-chain dicarboxylic acids as the only added agent. It is demonstrated that the morphology of CeO₂ assemblies depends on the chain-length of the dicarboxylic acids. The reaction with propanedioic acid (PA) results in durian-like ceria assemblies. Comparatively, ethanedioic acid (EA) tends to precipitate with Ce³⁺ at the beginning, and then guides the formation of lamellar octahedral assemblies. The catalytic performance towards CO oxidation of the as-synthesized CeO₂ with different morphologies was investigated. Compared with lamellar octahedral assemblies, durian-like CeO₂ assemblies showed better catalytic performance, giving
