Synthesis of Ceria Zirconia Oxides using Solvothermal Treatment
Ceria oxide (CeO2) is widely used as catalyst with high oxygen storage capacity at low temperature. The addition of zirconia oxide (ZrO2) to CeO2 can enhance oxygen storage capacity as well as thermal stability.

Phase separation and surface segregation in ceria–zirconia solid solutions [PDF]
Using a combination of density functional theory calculations and statistical mechanics, we show that a wide range of intermediate compositions of ceria–zirconia solid solutions are thermodynamically metastable with respect to phase separation into Ce-rich and Zr-rich oxides.

Revealing the Giant Electromechanical Effects in Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Single Crystal. [PDF]
Giant electromechanical responses are uncovered in yttria‐stabilized zirconia single crystal (SC‐YSZ), exhibiting pronounced orientation dependence. The giant electrostriction and piezoelectricity are directly correlated with the long‐range transport kinetics of oxygen vacancies.

Inhibition of Metal-Support Interactions by Rare-Earth Doping in Palladium/Ceria Zirconia Three-Way Catalysts. [PDF]
The impact of rare-earth (RE) doping in ceria-zirconia─critical for enhancing thermal stability and optimizing redox properties─on surface palladium (Pd) behavior has been investigated. RE doping was found to weaken metal–support interactions, leading to

Iron-Based Catalysts on Tailored Alumina Supports for CO<sub>x</sub>-Free Methane Decomposition to H<sub>2</sub> and Carbon. [PDF]
Fe‐10ZrAl catalyst enables catalytic methane decomposition into COx‐free H2 and solid carbon. ZrO2‐modified alumina improves Fe particle stabilization, reducibility, and carbon growth behavior, giving the best performance among the tested catalysts with 76.5% CH4 conversion and 74.1% H2 yield at 800 °C.

Elastic deformation in ceria nanorods via a fluorite-to-rutile phase transition [PDF]
Atomistic simulations reveal that ceria nanorods, under uniaxial tension, can accommodate over 6% elastic deformation. Moreover, a reversible fluorite-to- rutile phase change occurs above 6% strain for a ceria nanorod that extends along [110]. We also

Mechanical properties of ceria nanorods and nanochains; The effect of dislocations, grain-boundaries and oriented attachment [PDF]
We predict that the presence of extended defects can reduce the mechanical strength of a ceria nanorod by 70%. Conversely, the pristine material can deform near its theoretical strength limit.

Hydrothermal and Solvothermal Synthesis of Cerium-Zirconium Oxides for Catalyst Applications
Cerium oxide (CeO2) is a rare earth metal oxide that has high oxygen storage capacity at low temperature. In order to enhance this capacity, as well as its thermal stability, it is necessary to combine CeO2 with zirconium oxide (ZrO2).
