Cerium oxide nanoparticles: Structure, applications, reactivity, and eco-toxicology

In this chapter, the physical, chemical, and ecotoxicological features of nanometric cerium oxide will be discussed on the basis of the recent research. In contrast with other oxides such as SiO2, ZnO, ZrO2, or TiO2 with relevant industrial applications, ceria presents a unique redox chemistry that...
