Treating freshly prepared cerous hydroxide with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under ambient conditions provides a facile and efficient way for converting CeO2 nanoparticles (∼22 nm, 37 m2/g) into nanowires of fine diameters (down to ∼5 nm) and outstanding specific surface areas (∼184 m2/g). The CeO2 nanomaterials were examined by XRD, BET, FT-IR, TG, HR-TEM, Raman scattering, and UV−vis absorption spectroscopy. The results show that the nanowires are single crystalline and of high purity and low defect (oxygen vacancy) concentration and are growing perpendicular to {220} planes. The CeO2 nanowires show indirect and direct band gaps of ∼2.37 and 2.91 eV, respectively, which are both ∼0.15 eV lower than those observed from the nanoparticle form (∼22 nm) for the respective interband transitions. The CeO2 nanowires were proposed to grow via a dissolution−reprecipitation mechanism, with an unstable Ce(OH)3O·OH hyperoxide intermediate as the template.
