Monodisperse polyhedral nanoparticles (NPs) and nanorods (NRs) of cerium dioxide, CeO2, were synthesized by thermal decomposition of ammonium cerium(W) nitrate, (NH4)(2)Ce(NO3)(6), at 180 degrees C in an organic solution of oleylamine (OAm) and/or oleic acid (OA). The 4 am CeO2 NPs were synthesized in diphenyl ether solution of OAm and OA with the molar ratio of Ce/OAm/OA = 1:3:3, while the 6 nm CeO2 NPs were made in 1-octadecene solution of OAm with Ce/OAm = 1:6. The NRs were formed in 1-octadecene with Ce/OAm/OA = 1:3:1.5. The CeO2 NPs were assembled on gamma-Al2O3 via polyvinylpyrrolidone and were annealed at 500 degrees C under air to remove organic coating. They were well-dispersed on Al2O3 and showed the increased oxygen storage capacity compared to the physical mixture of aggregated CeO2 and gamma-Al2O3 powder. The reported CeO2 NPs are promising for oxygen storage and release applications.
