Ceria-samarium binary metal oxides: A comparative approach towards structural properties and soot oxidation activity

Binary metal oxides of CeO2-Sm2O3 (CSx, x varies from 10 to 90 mol%) along with pure CeO2 and Sm2O3 were synthesised successfully by the EDTA-Citrate method. From XRD, Raman spectroscopy and UV–vis DRS results, the whole composition of metal oxides …
