NANOPOROUS CERIUM OXIDE WITH INTERCONNECTED PORES FOR CATALYSIS AND A COST-EFFECTIVE METHOD OF PREPARING THEREOF

摘要

Provided herein are a method of making a nanoporous cerium oxide material which can be used for heterogeneous catalysis. The present invention disclosed herein relates to a porous cerium oxide material for catalytic treatment of automobile exhaust and for templated growth of nanowires, and to a cost-effective single-step precipitation process for the production of thereof. The present invention specifically relates to producing porous cerium oxide having plurality of pores arranged along parallel lines, consisting of pores throughout an entire monolith, which are on the external and internal surfaces of the grain, and are interconnected through narrow constrictions.
