초록

We have successfully synthesized $CeO_2$ nanopowders by means of the hydrothermal method, in a low temperature range of $100-200^{\circ}C$. In order to investigate the structure and morphology of the nanopowders, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction have been employed. In addition, for exploring the optical properties, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy have been used. In the optimized condition, with the pH, velocity, and time of 4.5, 600 rpm, and 60 h, the $CeO_2$ nanopowders with a diameter ranging from 50 to 150 nm have been synthesized. The nanopowders exhibited the visible emission mainly in the blue region. With comparing the reaction time, it is revealed that the extinction of functional groups at 60 h contributed to the growth and homogenization of the $CeO_2$ powders. Since the overgrowth and agglomeration of nanopowders were found, we suggest that the cracking/growth process is more favorable mechanism than the dissolution/precipitation process.
