Summary: | An elegant method of one-pot reaction at room temperature for the synthesis of nanocomposites consisting of cerium containing nanoparticles stabilized by carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) macromolecules was introduced. The characterization of the nanocomposites was carried out with a combination of microscopy, XRD, and IR spectroscopy analysis. The type of crystal structure of inorganic nanoparticles corresponding to CeO
was determined and the mechanism of nanoparticle formation was suggested. It was demonstrated that the size and shape of the nanoparticles in the resulting nanocomposites does not depend on the ratio of the initial reagents. Spherical particles with a mean diameter 2-3 nm of were obtained in different reaction mixtures with a mass fraction of cerium from 6.4 to 14.1%. The scheme of the dual stabilization of CeO
nanoparticles with carboxylate and hydroxyl groups of CMC was proposed. These findings demonstrate that the suggested easily reproducible technique is promising for the large-scale development of nanoceria-containing materials. |
