Abstract

CeO₂, as a significant functional material, Has a widespread application in many fields due to its excellent properties. In this review, we sum up a serious of methods to prepare and differentiate nanostructured cerium oxide with various morphologies based on dimensionality and its main applications in industry. We mainly summary the different strategies to synthetic the CeO₂ with 0-D, 1-D, 2-D and 3-D and the key parameters which may affect the nanostructures. We hope that this review helps researchers master can look up CeO₂ related knowledge more quickly upon the synthetic methods and comparing various morphologies or fabricating ways to explore more convenient and economical procedures when they embark on new research on synthesis cerium oxide.
