Combustion and Ball Milled Synthesis of Rare Earth Nano ...
This paper reports a study on nanocrystalline ceria powder prepared by high energy ballmilling and combustion synthesis methods. The combustion synthesis was carried out using ceric ammonium nitrate as oxidizer and citric acid, glycine or citric acid plus glycine as fuel. The minimum crystallite size of ceria powder is obtained by combustion synthesis of ceric .
