Abstract

The work demonstrates an easy and simple method for obtaining a TiO2 porous ceramic coated with a CeO2 thin film (COTF) on the surface. Replica technique used a 30 PPI polyurethane sponge and TiO2 ceramic suspension. Dip coating technique was used to coat the material surface and cerium polymeric resin synthesis was obtained by polymeric precursors method. Thermal analysis indicated a thermostable material from 500 °C. X-ray diffraction analysis of calcined CeO2, at 600 to 900 °C, resulted in monophasic and crystalline with a fluorite type cubic structure. Scanning electron microscopy made it possible to monitor COTF formation and growth from islands shape to a more homogenous form over 10 depositions.
