Recent Advances in Synthesis of CeVO4 Nanoparticles and Their Potential Scaffold for Photocatalytic Applications

Nowadays, modern nanotechnology has played a crucial role in the diverse domains of science and engineering. In this context, we have summarized the present literature and described the synthetic approaches, structural properties, and diverse potential applications of emerging cerium vanadate nanoparticles (CeVO4 NPs). Since CeVO4 NPs are an admirable catalytic, electrical, magnetic, and optical feature, they are used as catalysts, electrodes, sensors, lubricants, solar cells, hydrogen storage devices, and supercapacitors. The effect of diverse factors on the synthesis of CeVO4 NPs, such as time, temperature, pH, solvent, and concentration, have been successfully discussed and highlighted. Moreover, diverse applications of CeVO4 NPs, including photocatalysis, sensing, energy storage, and biomedical, have been addressed. Furthermore, a possible perspective for further research on CeVO4 NPs is also suggested. We firmly believe that this review will be an efficient guide for researchers intrigued by the synthesis and multifunctional applications of CeVO4 NPs.
