Abstract
The present work focuses on the study of the interaction of rare-earth oxides (REOs: La2O3, CeO2, Pr6O11, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Eu2O3, Gd2O3, Tb4O7, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3, Tm2O3, Yb2O3, Lu2O3, and Y2O3) with hydrogen using the H2-TPR technique. The temperature windows for surface and bulk H2-TPR peaks of all nanocrystalline rare-earth oxides were determined and discussed in detail. A comprehensive analysis of the reducibility of rare-earth oxides was also conducted. This analysis identifies the pathways and general trends of the reduction processes in nanocrystallites of all rare-earth oxides — key information for their use in a wide range of scientific applications, such as heterogeneous catalysis and luminescent materials.
