Ce1-xZrxO2 (x = 0−0.8) nanoparticulate powders were prepared via a mild urea hydrolysis based hydrothermal method through homogeneous nucleation at 413 K followed by calcination at 773 or 1173 K. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) measurements testify to the good stoichiometric homogeneity of Ce and Zr cations in the as-obtained Ce1-xZrxO2 products. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet−visible (UV−vis) spectra exhibit that both surface and bulk ratios of Ce3+ to Ce4+ for the as-prepared Ce1-xZrxO2 nanocrystals increased with the zirconium content x. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns and Raman spectra demonstrate that the present Ce1-xZrxO2 samples were single-phase solid solutions with good structural homogeneity and high thermal stability up to 1273 K, and those with x = 0.4−0.6 retained a pseudocubic structure (t‘ ‘ phase) due to the small crystallite size effect. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs reveal that the as-prepared CeO...
