Preparation of CeO 2 nanoparticles by ion exchange homogenous precipitation method

Nano-crystalline particles of CeO_2 were synthesized via a novel ion exchange resin homogenous precipitation process, in which Ce(NO_3)_3 · 6H_2O and Na_2CO_3 were used as precursors and a weak acidic cation exchange resin was used as substrate. The nano-CeO_2 sample with high purity was obtained by calcination of the precipitate at 500℃ for 1-4 h. The precursors and the samples were characterized by TG-DTG, XRD, SEM and TEM techniques in terms of morphology and size distribution. The mechanism of homogenous precipitation was discussed. The XRD results indicate that the as-made CeO_2 nanocrystals are cubic crystals, consisting of crystalline particles with a size of 30-50 nm and a good dispersion. The results demonstrate that the ion exchange resin homogenous precipitation method is a simple yet environmentally benign route to the synthesis of CeO_2 nanocrystals in large scale and at low cost, in which the ion exchange resin can be recycled.
