Cerium dioxide clearly raises the question of whether spontaneous ferromagnetic order is
possible at high temperatures without d-electrons. There are many reports in the literature of …

The effects of noble metal (M= Ag, Au, Pd, Pt, and Rh) on CeO 2 in enhancing the activity
toward soot oxidation were studied through experimental methods and density functional …

The study of magnetism in materials without partially filled d or f bands has gained much
attention in the past years. Even though it has challenged the understanding of traditional …

We have investigated the formation of intrinsic defects in CeO2 using density functional
theory with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) corrected for on-site Coulombic …

Efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts are key for the development of high-
performance fuel cells. Palladium (Pd) is a promising catalyst system for ORR given its …

Electrides—compounds in which electrons localized in interstitial spaces periodically serve
as anions—have attracted broad attention for their exotic properties, such as extraordinary …

We report a simple scheme of anchoring crystalline ceria nanoparticles (CNPs) onto
reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets. Two types of CNPs, consisting of predominantly …

We investigated the native point defects in CeO2 by the density functional theory with
repulsive potential (DFT+ U) method and by use of a nonlinear core-corrected norm …

This study reports that highly oxygen-deficient CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) can be obtained
without reduction treatment by using thermal decomposition method. Different amounts of …

Integration of functional oxides on Si substrates could open a pathway to integrate diverse
devices on Si-based technology. Oxygen vacancies (Vo··) can strongly affect solid state …
