Abstract

Uniform-sized and monodisperse ceria (CeO₂) hollow nanospheres were synthesized in a ethylene glycol aqueous solution with cerium nitrate hexahydrate (Ce(NO₃)₃·6H₂O) as cerium sources and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as surfactant. The synthesized products were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption-desorption and UV-Vis. The results show that the porous CeO₂ hollow nanospheres composed of small nanoparticles with cubic fluorite structure; the average diameter and wall thickness of the CeO₂ hollow nanospheres were about 400nm and 30 nm respectively; they have a high specific surface area of 76.86 m²g^-1 and BJH pore size about 3~5 nm. On the basis of time-dependent experiment, the relevant formation mechanism was proposed. The ceria hollow nanospheres show an excellent adsorption rate about 70% of heavy metal ions at room temperature for Cr(VI) solutions, which is 3 times higher than that of ceria powder.

Key words: metallic materials ceria hollow nanospheres hydrothermal method adsorption capacity
