Abstract

This paper reports a study on preparation of nanocrystalline ceria powder by solution
combustion technique that is a simple and eco-friendly process, to take a glycine as a fuel and
ammonium ceric nitrate as an oxidizer and followed by calcination at 500 ˚C for 2 h. The
obtained product was characterized by various techniques and the results are presented and
discussed. X-ray diffraction data confirms a cubic phase of cerium oxide with crystallite size was
found to be 34.9 nm. The infrared spectrum shows the peak at ca. (413 cm-1
) is corresponding to
the asymmetric (O-Ce-O) stretching vibration inside CeO2 lattice.
