摘要: The oxidation state switching of cerium in oxide nanoparticles is studied detail. influence synthesis medium, aging time and local environment on the switching, between +3 + 4, analyzed by tracking absorption edge using UV-Visible spectroscopy. It observed that tuning environment, chemistry could be altered. These dependent, environmentally induced changes likely contribute to inconsistencies literature regarding quantum-confinement effects for ceria nanoparticles. results this article indicate there a need carry out comprehensive analysis while considering processing conditions, environment.
