摘要
Cerium oxide (IV) hollow nanospheres (@CeO2) were successfully synthesized via the hydrothermal method. Cerium nitrate and urea were used as a ceria precursor and as a hydrolyzing agent, respectively. Obtained @CeO2 nanospheres were characterized using TEM, N-2 physisorption, XRD, UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy. The structural properties of @CeO2 nanospheres have been tuned by a variation of the urea/cerium nitrate weight ratio during the synthesis. The adsorption capacity of @CeO2 nanospheres was shown to be related to the size of ceria crystals forming nanospheres. Thus, the decrease of ceria crystal size permits to improve the efficiency in the adsorption of toxic 4-nitrophenol.
