Influence of Deposition Conditions on the Morphology of Cerium Oxide Particles

Cerium(IV) oxide nanoparticles are promising agents for use in radiotherapy. The morphology of nanoparticles largely determines their effectiveness. This article presents the results of a study of the conditions for the deposition of cerium(IV) oxide nanoparticles, a detailed variation of the parameters of the syntheses, and assessment of their effectiveness from the point of view of the morphology of the resulting structures. The conditions for obtaining nanoparticles with optimal physicochemical properties, high stability, and reproducibility of synthesis have been selected.
