Morphologically Diverse Cerium Oxide Nanostructures and Nanofields for Multi functional applications.

The prospective impact of nanomaterials in science and technology has followed an increasing trend due to their unique chemical and physical properties compared to bulk. Significant advances in current technologies in areas such as clean energy production, electronics, medicine, and environment have fuelled major research and development efforts in nanotechnology around the world. This leads to the opportunity to use such nanostructured materials in novel applications and devices. Ceria, zirconia, alumina and titania are some of the major oxides which find vast applications as a nanomaterial on a wider side.
