Nano cerium oxide (Nano cerium oxide) is a nanoscale form of cerium oxide (CeO2), usually composed of extremely small cerium oxide particles, with dimensions usually between 1 and 100 nanometers. Cerium oxide is an important material with a variety of applications, and nano cerium oxide has attracted much attention due to its special properties.
Catalyst: Nano-cerium oxide is widely used in the field of catalysis. Its surface has a high surface area and abundant oxygen vacancies, which makes it an effective catalyst for redox reactions. It can be used in three-way catalytic converters in automobile emission control systems to reduce harmful gas emissions in exhaust gases.
Fuel cells: Nanocerium oxide is also used in fuel cell technology as a component of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC). It can be used as an electrolyte or electrode material to help improve fuel cell performance.
Antioxidants: Due to their antioxidant properties, nanocerium oxide is used in the preparation of antioxidant products, such as skin care products and sunscreens, to help protect the skin from UV radiation and free radical damage.
Material strengthening agent: Nano-cerium oxide can be used as a strengthening agent for materials such as rubber, coatings, and plastics to improve their wear resistance, weather resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance.
Biomedical applications: Nano cerium oxide has also found applications in the biomedical field, such as as drug delivery carriers to improve the bioavailability and reduce toxicity of drugs.
Cerium oxide nanoparticles have nanoscale measurements ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers, and they can be created to have certain properties such as size, shape, surface, and chemical properties, or they can occur naturally. Compared to cerium oxide atoms, cerium oxide nanoparticles exhibit higher resistivity, intensity, light absorption, and conductivity. One of the key factors that enhances the properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles is relative surface area. The demand for cerium oxide nanoparticles has expanded in various industrial applications due to their superior physical and chemical properties, which enhance the performance of finished products. Market growth is driven by key factors such as rising polishing agent utilization and growing demand from the semiconductor industry.
The major regions studied for the global cerium oxide nanoparticles market include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominates the global market and is expected to continue to do so during the forecast period owing to its abundance of international automakers and the government encouraging investments through improved investment policies, highly skilled workforce, and accessible infrastructure. Furthermore, Europe's automotive industry is one of the major contributors to GDP and is expected to remain unchanged due to increasing demand and technological advancements.
