Oscillations of Cerium Oxidation State Driven by Oxygen Diffusion in Colloidal Nanoceria (CeO2 − x )

Abstract The redox performance of CeO2 − x nanocrystals (nanoceria) is always accompanied by the switching of cerium oxidation state between Ce3+ and Ce4+. We monitored Ce3+ → Ce4+ oxidation of nanoceria stimulated by oxidant in aqueous colloidal solutions controlling the luminescence of Ce3+ ions l...
