Excerpt

Abstract Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) have shown a potential capacity to destroy organic dyes because of their ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aqueous phase. The photodegradation process can be influenced by the superficial area of the nanoparticle and the pH of the solution. This work studied the photocatalytic performance of CeO2 NPs at two sizes, and medium acid and basic. UV–Vis results showed shoulder peaks at 285 nm and 300 nm for small size (< 5.0 nm) and big size Nps (< 25.0 nm), respectively …
