The need for high efficiency energy production, conversion, storage and transport is serving
as a robust guide for the development of new materials. Materials with physical-chemical …

Rare-earth (RE)-doped ceria systems, in particular when RE≡ Nd, Sm, or Gd, are well-
known to be characterized by high values of ionic conductivity in the intermediate …

The long-range and short-range structure of nanocrystalline and microcrystalline acceptor-
doped ceria is investigated by a combined approach using EXAFS, XANES, Raman, and …

Ceria and its solid solutions play a vital role in several industrial processes and devices.
These include solar energy-to-fuel conversion, solid oxide fuel and electrolyzer cells …

First commercial use of ceria dates back to the late 1970s when CeO 2 was employed as an
oxygen storage component of three-way catalysts formulation. The ability of ceria to modify …

A room temperature structural study has been performed through the whole compositional
range of the (Ce1–x Lu x) O2–x/2 system by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and μ-Raman …

A large series of doped cerias have been prepared by the coprecipitation method combined
with impregnation and completely characterized in order to have an overall understanding of …

A structural study of Sm-and Gd-doped ceria was performed with the aim to clarify some
unexplained structural features.(Ce1–x RE x) O2–x/2 samples (RE≡ Sm, Gd; x= 0, 0.1,..., 1) …

Oxides with the cubic fluorite structure, eg, ceria (CeO2), are known to be good solid
electrolytes when they are doped with cations of lower valence than the host cations. The …

The reduction of pure and Sm-doped ceria in hydrogen has been studied by synchrotron-
based in situ X-ray diffraction to eventually prove or disprove the presence of crystalline …
