Abstract

The present work reports the synthesis of CeO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) via chemical route by optimizing synthesis parameters such as solvent, capping agent, and calcination temperature. The prepared samples were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy for structural, morphological, and optical studies. The XRD results confirmed the formation of cubic fluorite structured CeO₂ with an average crystallite size ~5–11 nm. The enhancement in crystallite size was observed along with agglomerated irregular spherical-shaped NPs after calcination at higher temperatures. The use of capping agent (thioglycerol; TG) led to the reduced aggregation of NPs. With the help of UV-visible spectroscopy, a redshift was observed in the maximum absorbance peak as an effect of calcination. The NPs synthesized in ethanol as solvent exhibited better degradation efficiency for crystal violet dye than that synthesized in water medium due to high surface to volume ratio and surface functionalities inducing more active sites for the creation of electrons hole pair. It was observed that (TG) capped samples exhibited more photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of crystal violet dye than uncapped samples due to less agglomeration of particles. Furthermore, in the presence of the optimum amount of H₂O₂ the catalytic activity was achieved up to 97% within 90 min only.
