Continuous synthesis of organic–inorganic hybridized cubic nanoassemblies of octahedral cerium oxide nanocrystals and hexanedioic acid

Abstract

We synthesized cubic nanoassemblies of octahedral CeO2nanocrystals by simply heating an aqueous solution of cerium nitrate (Ce(NO3)3) in the presence of hexanedioic acid (HOOC(CH2)4COOH) in a lab-scale plug-flow reactor. It was concluded that the octahedral shape of the primary CeO2nanocrystals plausibly leads to octa-coordination of the primary nanocrystals, thus enabling controlled assembly to form a cubic structure.
