Abstract

Highly dispersed metal oxide nanoparticle sols are of great interest in science and engineering because of their broad potential applications in optics, electronics, sensors, catalysis, biomedicines, and even in cosmetics. Here, we report the size-controlled synthesis of cerium oxide nanoparticle sols by a reflux method with poly (vinylpyrrolidone) as a coating agent to afford stable monodispersions of spherical particles with size of 50–120 nm. The ...
