We propose a novel method for the fabrication of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced heat tolerance. SiO2 was mixed with CeO2 at the nano-level to yield SiO2-CeO2 NP composites by a solvothermal reaction of pre-cursor solutions consisting of Si(OEt)(4), Ce(NO3)(3)center dot 6H(2)O, and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine in methanol. SiO2 content in the SiO2-CeO2 NP composites was freely controllable by adjusting the Si(OEt)(4) mol fraction in range of 0-0.5 in the precursor solutions. With an increase of SiO2 content in the SiO2-CeO2 NP composites, the primary particle sizes of the CeO2 NPs decreased, and the specific surface areas of the SiO2-CeO2 NP composites increased remarkably. For SiO2-CeO2 NP composites obtained from a precursor solution consisting of 1:1 Si (OEt)(4) and Ce(NO3)(3)center dot 6H(2)O, the specific surface area was over 300 m(2)/g. Excellent heat tolerance was achieved through the retention of small size of CeO2 crystallites, as well as the large specific surface areas of the SiO2-CeO2 NP assemblies, even after calcination at 850 degrees C for 3 h or at 700 degrees C for 72 h in air.
