Abstract

Cuboidal ceria nanoparticles have been used to enhance the rate of decomposition of carbonized sucrose. Pure sucrose has been subjected to pyrolysis under the nitrogen atmosphere at 500 °C to obtain carbonized sucrose. Ceria nanocuboids have been prepared by hydrothermal method. The transmission electron microscopy analysis shows formation of cuboids with sizes ranging from 10 to 40 nm. The X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction studies show FCC structure of ceria. The line profile analysis of atomic rows on the surface of a typical ceria nanocuboid imaged along <011> zone axis has been presented. Temperature-dependent decomposition of carbonized sucrose has been studied by treating known amount of the material in a Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA). The weight loss observed in the case of pure carbonized sucrose and the one mixed with about 9% ceria nanocuboids, have been analyzed using FTIR spectra of the samples before and after TG treatment. Enhanced weight-loss, in the case of ceria mixed carbonized sucrose, has been explained as due to redox ability of ceria, owing to active {100} and {110} facets.
