2-xoxide compound (0<x<0.5), and (T<450 ° C) CeO at low temperatures
2can form the different compound of a series of compositions.Even it should be noted that from lattice and lose a considerable amount of oxygen, after forming a large amount of oxygen room, CeO
2-xstill can keep the fluorite type crystalline structure, easily be oxidized to again CeO when this metastable oxide compound is exposed to well-oxygenated environment
2, thereby CeO
2there is superior storage and discharge oxygen function and redox reaction ability.Cerium oxide is pale yellow powder, and fusing point is 2600 ° of C, more stable at normal temperatures, vitriolization; Adding hydrogen peroxide in nitric acid also can dissolve; Effusion chlorine while being dissolved in hydrochloric acid; Be insoluble to diluted acid (except dilute sulphuric acid) and water.CeO
2thermostability higher, during 800 ° of C, can keep crystal formation constant, lose a part of Sauerstoffatom when 980 ° of C.
Application about cerium oxide in automotive exhaust catalysis.Along with increasing of automobile quantity, environmental pollution increases the weight of gradually, so many countries have carried out strict control to the discharge of vehicle exhaust, under this background, has produced three-way catalyst.Usually three-way catalyst is by the noble metal active component that plays katalysis, comprises CeO
2at interior catalyzed conversion auxiliary agent with for the carrier that supports active ingredient, form.In application aspect this catalysis, CeO
2mainly play the effect of two aspects: 1. good storage oxygen with put the oxygen function; 2. promote reactive behavior and the dispersion of precious metal.Cerium oxide belongs to isometric system, has fluorite structure, makes crystalline network arrange and does not closely easily form the oxygen room, when surrounding environment oxygen pressure changes, impels the cationic compound valency at Ce
3+with Ce
4+between mutual conversion, thereby cause Sauerstoffatom number in crystalline network to change, and then possessed storage oxygen and put the oxygen function.

At present both at home and abroad to nano Ce O
2the preparation conceptual phase in laboratory still, prepare nano Ce O
2method is summed up and mainly contains: solid phase method, liquid phase method and vapor phase process.
Solid phase method is generally that metal oxide or its salt are fully mixed according to formula, after grinding, is calcined, and finally obtains the ultrafine particle of metal and metal oxide.It is generally acknowledged solid state reaction process experience four-stage: reactant diffusion-chemical reaction-product nucleation-crystal growth.When nucleation speed is greater than the speed of growth, be conducive to generate nanoparticle; If the speed of growth is greater than nucleation rate, form bulk crystals.The solid phase method equipment used is simple, easy to operate, but the gained powder often purity is inadequate, size-grade distribution is also larger, is applicable to require lower occasion.
Vapor phase process is divided into physical vapor method and chemical gas-phase method.Vapor phase process refers to that the method that chemical reaction generates the nano level new compound occurs in gas phase for two or more simple substance or compound.Generally speaking, the purity of vapor phase process gained powder is higher, it is less to reunite, sintering character is also better, its shortcoming be apparatus expensive, output lower, be difficult for universal.
Liquid phase method is mainly by controlling the condition of liquid-phase chemical reaction, as the method for the formation presomas such as reactant concn, temperature of reaction and time, stirring velocity, hydrolysis rate, co-precipitation in liquid-phase system.Mainly contain the precipitator method, sol-gel method, hydrothermal method, microemulsion method, electrochemical process etc.Liquid phase method is between vapor phase process and solid phase method, with vapor phase process, compare, liquid phase method have equipment simple, without the harsh physical conditions such as high vacuum, the easy advantage such as amplification, the powder prepared than solid phase method again is pure, reunion is few simultaneously, being easy to realize suitability for industrialized production, is to prepare at present the most frequently used method of nanoparticle.Liquid phase method mainly contains the precipitator method, sol-gel method, hydrothermal method, microemulsion method, electrochemical process etc.
