Outline of Final Research Achievements

Metal oxides have various properties and are used in the form of nanoparticles. Their functions depend on the crystal face and the assembly of nanoparticles have a merit to facilitate their handling including recovery and dispersion. This research synthesized Cr-substituted cerium oxide nanocrystal that showed higher oxygen storage capacity. Also the assemblies of cerium oxide nanoparticles are formed by using bi-functional organic molecules.
