UCF-UNSW Development of Sol gel Derived Non-agglomerated Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles

该研究计划得到了NSF的认可，将首次尝试生产单一尺寸的二氧化铈纳米颗粒，用于潜在的热障涂层应用。该项目将UCF研究人员的合成和表面科学专业知识与UNSW CI的表征专业知识相结合，以领导合作进入最前沿的纳米氧化铈合成。返回澳大利亚后，新南威尔士大学CI将首次在新南威尔士大学开始溶胶-凝胶合成二氧化铈和其他单尺寸氧化物纳米颗粒的实验计划。

The research initiative, recognized by NSF, will attempt to produce first time, monosized nanoparticles of ceria for potential thermal barrier coating application. The project combines synthesis and surface science expertise of UCF investigator with characterization expertise of the UNSW CI to lead the collaboration into the forefront nano-ceria synthesis. Upon return to Australia the UNSW CI will start an experimental program at UNSW on sol-gel synthesis of ceria and other monosized oxide nanoparticles for the first time.
