Surface area, S, pore volume, VP, and pore diameter values for the aerogel and xerogel nanocomposites obtained by N2-physisorption.
| Sample name | S [m2 g−1] | VP [cm3 g−1] | Pore diameter [nm] |
|---|---|---|---|
| A_15_CeO2_900 | 359 ± 1 | 0.86 | 21 |
| A_10_CeO2_900 | 339 ± 1 | 0.76 | 21 |
| A_5_CeO2_900 | 413 ± 1 | 0.89 | 20 |
| X_15_CeO2_900 | 394 ± 1 | 0.28 | 4 |
All these nanocomposites have been synthesized using dodecanoic acid with a Ce3+/surfactant molar ratio of 1:4.
