Abstract

We report on the preparation of supported columnar CeO(2) nanostructures by a simple catalyst-free chemical vapor deposition process at temperatures as low as 623 K. A suitable choice of experimental parameters enables us to control the structural and morphological features of the resulting ceria nanosystems.
