Title: Oxygen vacancy and Ce{sup 3+} ion dependent magnetism of monocrystal CeO{sub 2} nanopoles synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method

Abstract

Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • Monocrystal CeO{sub 2} nanopoles are synthesized by hydrothermal method. • Suitable reaction time is beneficial for the growth CeO{sub 2} nanopoles. • As-synthesized CeO{sub 2} nanopoles show excellent RTFM. • The RTFM can be attributed to the influences of oxygen vacancies and Ce{sup 3+} ions. - Abstract: Monocrystal CeO{sub 2} nanopoles of 15–25 nm in diameter and 300–900 nm or more in length were synthesized within 100 h using hydrothermal method with CeCl{sub 3}·7H{sub 2}O as cerium source, NaOH as mineralizer, and ethylenediamine as complexant. The results of XRD and SADE analysis indicate that the as-synthesized CeO{sub 2} samples have the fluorite structure. The band gaps of CeO{sub 2} samples are 0.08–0.38 eV smaller than that of bulk CeO{sub 2}. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that the concentration of Ce{sup 3+} is higher than 20% for CeO{sub 2} samples. All the as-synthesized CeO{sub 2} samples exhibit the room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM), and the saturation magnetization (M{sub s}) gradually increases with the increase of E{sub g} up to 2.92 eV and then decreases with E{sub g} increasing more. The highest M{sub s} of 0.167 emu/g is obtained from the CeO{sub 2} nanopoles synthesized within 100 h. Themore » RTFM mechanism of CeO{sub 2} nanopoles has been proposed which can be mainly attributed to the influence of oxygen vacancies and Ce{sup 3+} ions.« less
