Lattice Defects and Oxygen Storage Capacity of ...
Oct 27, 2000· The atomic structures of nanocrystalline powders of ceria, CeO2, and ceriazirconia solid solution, (Ce,Zr)O2, were studied by the pulsed neutron diffraction technique. Ceria is used as an oxygen storage component in automotive exhaust emission control systems, but the degradation of its oxygen storage capacity (OSC) after extended use at high temperatures has been a problem. Our results for ...
