| Summary: | <p>Abstract</p> <p>Nanoscale cerium dioxides with shape of nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanotubes were electrochemically synthesized. The morphology of CeO<sub>2</sub>was modulated by changing electrode potential and potential direction. CeO<sub>2</sub>nanorods and CeO<sub>2</sub>nanotubes were synthesized via the potentiostatic and cyclic voltammeteric methods, respectively. The morphology and structure of the obtained CeO<sub>2</sub>were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A possible formation mechanism has been suggested to illuminate the relationship between the preparation condition and the morphology of CeO<sub>2</sub>.</p> |
