Abstract:The higee technology was developed for synthesizing hydrophobic chain-modified CeO2 nanoparticles in hydrocarbon solvents. Salicylaldimine associated with CeCl3 was exploited to generate the nanoparticles with the help of NaOH and H2O2. The surface-modified CeO2 nanoparticles were stably and homogeneously dispersed in the organic solvent. The products were characterized by Transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), Thermogravimetry (TGA) and Nanopraticle Size Analyser. The results showed that the modified-CeO2 particles prepared were uniform nanosized and fluorite structured. The particle size distribution can be controlled by changing the rotation speed of the higee reactor. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
