Description

We have synthesized ceria (CeO2) powder by homogeneous precipitation method using CeNO3 and hexamethylene tetramine at 80 deg C. The precipitate is calcined and further powdered to an average size of 0. 7 μm. Afterwards, pellets of 2 to 3 mm thickness are prepared by sintering the powder compacts at 1300 deg C temperature for three sintering time. We carry out small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments to investigate the pore structure in these pellets. The results show that with increase in sintering time the peak of the size distribution profile shifts towards the larger size (author)
