We undertook a novel batch production approach for the synthesis of CeO2nanopowders doped with rare earth elements. Solid solution nanopowders of Ce1−xLaxO2−δ(x= 0.15) were successfully synthesized in a large-scale and low-cost production by hydrolyzing and oxidizing Ce-La-C alloys at room temperature and subsequent calcining of their powders at different temperatures (873–1073 K) for 1 h. The Ce-La-C alloys were prepared in a vacuum induction melting furnace. The final products were characterized by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Brunner–Emmet–Teller (BET) surface area analyzer, and Raman spectroscopy. The calculated lattice parameters of the cubic fluorite-type phase of CeO2tended to increase when La3+was incorporated into CeO2. TheF2gband shift and the absence of a peak corresponding to La2O3in the Raman spectra consistently confirmed the incorporation of the La3+ion into CeO2, and the formation of Ce1−xLaxO2−δsolid solutions as manifested by increased oxygen vacancy defects. High-quality Ce1−xLaxO2−δnanopowders of ~10–15 nm diameter with a high BET surface area of ~77 m2g−1were obtained. The average crystallite size of Ce1−xLaxO2−δwas found to be smaller than that of CeO2for the same calcination temperature of 1073 K, demonstrating that the introduction of La3+into CeO2can stabilize the host lattice and refine the grain size at high temperatures.
