Nanostructured CeO2 Thin Films Prepared by the Sol-Gel Dip-Coating Method with Anomalous Behavior of Crystallite Size and Bandgap

Amorphous CeO2 thin films were deposited by a dip-coating method on Corning glass substrates and annealed for one hour at the temperatures (T) of 250, 450, and 550°C in air for crystallization. The precursor solution was prepared by dissolving cerium acetate in methanol, lactic acid, glycerol, and t...
