Synthesis, structural and morphological characterization of CeO2-ZnO nanosized powder systems from Pechini's method

This work reports on the investigation of nanosized CeO2-ZnO systems prepared by Pechini's method. The structural and morphological characterization of CeO2-ZnO systems as well as the characterization of CeO2 and ZnO separately, showed that the employed method result in powders with spheroidal particles whose size are in the range 30 - 200 nm, which is appropriate to provide homogeneous suspensions. The ZnO present in the prepared mixed oxides seems to increase particle size distribution and to influence the arrangement of the particles after powder dispersion.
