Abstract

In the current study, cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and investigated because of their outstanding optical, electrical, structural, and morphological properties. CeO2 NPs were formed by a simple, low-cost, and eco-friendly co-precipitation method. The effect of calcination temperature on nanoceria was examined through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet and Visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), and the current voltage (I-V) studies. The XRD revealed the FCC structure and crystallite size in the 60-90 nm range when the calcination temperature was increased. SEM showed spherical particles with significant agglomeration. FTIR showed the occurrence of the Ce-O bond. UV-Vis showed the value of 236 nm maximum absorption wavelength with a 3.27 eV band gap. PL showed a 651 nm emission band with a 1.90 eV energy band gap. Raman examined the cubic structure of nanoceria. The current voltage (I-V) studies examined the dependence of resistivity on calcination temperature.
