Abstract

The influence of different organic media and concentrations on the stability of CeO₂ particles were investigated. Hydrodynamic sizes in different concentrations revealed that CeO₂ particles in ethanol was smaller compared to acetone and methanol. CeO₂ particles are negatively charge in ethanol and acetone while positively charge in methanol. Ethanol exhibits a stable suspension over a wide range of concentration from 0.250 mg/mL to 1 mg/mL whereas the CeO₂ particles suspended in methanol were all in unstable region due to agglomerated particles and CeO2 particles in acetone were only stable over the short range of concentration from 0.031 mg/mL to 0.250 mg/mL.
