Abstract

A new synthesis process, laser ablation in an aqueous solution of target material, was applied to synthesize nanostructured CeO 2/TiO 2 catalyst particles. Reactivity within the laser plume (plasma) can be used to synthesize CeO 2 from an aqueous solution, 2 M cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate (Ce(NO 3) 3·6H 2O) aqueous solution, and to fabricate TiO 2 from Ti target. CeO 2/TiO 2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the laser ablation of Ti target in 2 M cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate (Ce(NO 3) 3·6H 2O) aqueous solution. Laser ablation of Ti in a liquid environment and chemical reactions of the solution within a plasma plume are discussed.
