The influences of the N2H4 content and temperature on flower formation were discussed. CeO2 flowers were prepared by thermal conversion of Ce（OH）CO3 flowers at 500 ℃ in air. Both Ce（OH）CO3 and CeO2 flowers were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The UV-vis adsorption spectrum of the CeO2 flowers showed that the band gap energy （Eg） is 2.66 eV, which is lower than that of bulk ceria.展开更多
