Cerium Oxide (CeO2): Synthesis, Properties and Applications

Cerium Oxide aims to provide an updated and comprehensive account of the research in the field of cerium oxide based materials.  The book is divided in three main blocks dealing with properties, synthesis and applications of ceria, respectively. Each of these sections includes several chapters which provides comprehensive coverage of the material from theory to applications.  A special attention is devoted to the growing number of applications of ceria based materials in various fields as industrial and environmental catalysis and photocatalysis, energy production and storage, sensors, cosmetics, radioprotection, glass technology, pigments, stainless steel, toxicology. A brief historical introduction to provide a useful background and a final chapter addressing future perspectives and outlooks to stimulate the future research are also included. This book is intended for a wide audience including students and academic and industrial researchers working in material science, chemistry and physics and interested in the numerous application fields of cerium oxide based materials. Addresses a wide range of applications of ceria-based materials, including catalysis, energy production and storage, sensors, cosmetics and toxicologyProvides the fundamentals of ceria-based materials, including synthesis methods, materials properties, toxicology and surface chemistryIncludes nanostructured ceria-based materials and a discussion of future prospects and outlooks INDICE: 1. Cerium and cerium oxide: a brief historical introduction 2. Properties of cerium oxide 3. Synthesis of cerium oxide based materials 4. Applications of cerium oxide based materials 5. Perspective and outlooks
