CeO2 samples | Lattice parameter (nm) | Crystal size (nm) |
---|---|---|
Undoped | 0.5412 | 8.9 |
Al3+-doped | 0.5413 | 7.9 |
Cr3+-doped | 0.5412 | 8.6 |
Cu2+-doped | 0.5416 | 8.6 |
Ag+-doped | 0.5420 | 8.1 |
Notes: The lattice parameter was fitted to a cubic cell, based on the line positions of ten X-ray diffraction peaks. The crystallite size is calculated with the Scherrer formula using FWHM of the (111) diffraction line.
Abbreviations: CeONP, cerium oxide nanoparticles; CeO2, cerium oxide; FWHM, full width at half maximum.
