Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) have received much attention because of their
excellent catalytic activities, which are derived from quick and expedient mutation of the …

This review covers the structure of, and chemical reactions on, well-defined cerium oxide
surfaces. Ceria, or mixed oxides containing ceria, are critical components in automotive …

Defect sites play an essential role in ceria catalysis. In this study, ceria nanocrystals with well-
defined surface planes have been synthesized and utilized for studying defect sites with …

CeO2 is a catalytic material of exceptional technological importance, and the precise role of
oxygen vacancies is crucial to the greater understanding of these oxide materials. In this …

713 concept (2) may be obvious even though it is not part of current common sense: Biology
channels us in some directions rather than others, but learning is required to produce a …

The high performance of ceria (CeO2) as an oxygen buffer and active support for noble
metals in catalysis relies on an efficient supply of lattice oxygen at reaction sites governed by …

Defects at transition metal (TM) and rare earth (RE) oxide surfaces, neutral oxygen
vacancies in particular, play a major role in a variety of technological applications. This is the …

The surface atomic arrangement of metal oxides determines their physical and chemical
properties, and the ability to control and optimize structural parameters is of crucial …

Ceria, CeO2, plays an important role in catalysis, participating directly in the conversion of
environmentally sensitive molecules. This arises from the ability of ceria to store and release …

We present periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations of bulk ceria and its low
index surfaces (111),(110) and (100). We find that the surface energies increase in the order …
