  2. 1. Oxygen Storage Chemistry of Nanoceria

    Author : Dou Du; Kersti Hermansson; Peter Broqvist; Pavlin D. Mitev; Joachim Paier; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanoceria; Density Functional Theory; Hybrid Functional; Oxygen Storage Capacity.; Kemi med inriktning mot materialkemi; Chemistry with specialization in Materials Chemistry;

    Abstract : The versatile redox chemistry of ceria (CeO2) originates from its Ce4f electron, which plays the key role in changing the oxidation state of Ce between +IV and +III. Ceria is, among other things, a material that can act as a powerful oxygen buffer with a high oxygen storage capacity (OSC). READ MORE
