Abstract

CeO 2-based materials have important applications in catalysts for automotive exhausts, solid-state electrolytes for high-temperature fuel cells, and promoters for water-gas-shift reactions. The catalytic performance in many of these applications could be improved by the preparation of thermally stable mesoporous CeO 2-based materials with uniform mesopores. The synthesis of mesoporous CeO 2-based materials using the corresponding nanoparticles as precursors was presented. These materials were characterized by XRD, TEM, and BET. The essence of the synthesis methodology involved the self-assembly of the pre-synthesized nanoparticles (instead of metal compound precursors) in the presence of surfactant molecules. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 229th ACS National Meeting (San Diego, CA 3/13-17/2005).
