Reactive cerium(IV) oxide powders by the homogeneous precipitation method
- Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor (United States)
CeO[sub 2] powders have been prepared by aging a cerium (III) nitrate solution in the presence of hexamethylenetetramine. Oxidation of Ce[sup 3+] occurs in the precipitate and the wet precipitate is identified as crystallized CeO[sub 2] before any heat treatment. The cold-pressed powders can be sintered to full density at temperatures as low as 1,250 C in just 6 min. Moreover, the sinterability of the powders is insensitive to the calcination temperatures, particle size, or green density. The powders calcined at 850 C with a crystallite size of 600 [angstrom] have a sinterability as good as the powders calcined at 450 C with a crystallite size of 145 [angstrom]. The mechanisms for direct CeO[sub 2] precipitation and its relation to the excellent sinterability are discussed.
