Abstract
Nanocrystalline cerium(IV) oxide (CeO2) powders have been prepared by adding hydrazine monohydrate to an aqueous solution of hydrous cerium nitrate (Ce(NO3)3·6H2O), followed by washing and drying. The lattice parameter of the as‐prepared powder is a= 0.5415 nm. The powder characteristics and sinterability of reactive CeO2 have been studied. The surface areas of powders that have been heated at low temperatures are high, and these surface areas do not decrease to 10 m2/g until the temperature is >1200°C. Crystallite size and particle size are strongly dependent on the heating temperature. Optimum sintered densities are obtained by calcining in the temperature range of 700°–800°C. Ceramics with almost‐full density can be fabricated at a temperature as low as 1150°C.
