Effect of Microgravity on Synthesis of Nano Ceria

Effect of Microgravity on Synthesis of Nano Ceria

Cerium oxide (CeO2) was prepared using a controlled-precipitation method under microgravity at the International Space Station (ISS). For comparison, ceria was also synthesized under normal-gravity conditions (referred as control). The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, pore volume and po...
