In the current study, polymer nanocomposites (NCPs) based on poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with altered refractive index and absorption edge were synthesized by means of a solution cast technique. The characterization techniques of UV–Vis spectroscopy and XRD were used to inspect the structural and optical properties of the prepared films. The XRD patterns of the doped samples have shown clear amendments in the structural properties of the PVA host polymer. Various optical parameters were studied to get more insights about the influence of CeO2 on optical properties of PVA. On the insertion of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) into the PVA matrix, the absorption edge was found to move to reduced photon energy sides. It was concluded that the CeO2 nanoparticles can be used to tune the refractive index (n) of the host polymer, and it reached up to 1.93 for 7 wt.% of CeO2 content. A detailed study of the bandgap (BG) was conducted using two approaches. The outcomes have confirmed the impact of the nanofiller on the BG reduction of the host polymer. The results of the optical BG study highlighted that it is crucial to address the ɛ” parameter during the BG analysis, and it is considered as a useful tool to specify the type of electronic transitions. Finally, the dispersion region of n is conferred in terms of the Wemple–DiDomenico single oscillator model.

Nanoparticles of cerium oxide (CeO2) are synthesized with cerium (III) nitrates (Ce(NO3)3, 6H2O) by precipitation method in ammonium hydroxyl solution (NH4OH). The influence of several parameters such as nature of the solvent, synthesizing temperature and the calcination on the crystallite size is studied by XRD, TEM and BET methods. The results show that both calcinations and synthesizing temperature affect the particles size. Also, the nature of solvent has a great effect on the morphology of CeO2 nanoparticles.

Abstract This paper depicts Box-Behnken design (BBD) approach to optimize the performance and emission characteristics of adjustable compression ratio, single- cylinder diesel engine with nanoparticle-blended biofuel. Cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles and diethyl ether (DEE) are mixed with neem methyl ester (NME) in corresponding ratios as per BBD experimental plan. Engine performance characteristics brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC), and NOx, CO, HC, and CO2 emissions have been analyzed. To study the influence of input parameters, quadratic models are developed on each output response using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Desirability function approach has been used to optimize the performance of multi-response parameters. The results revealed that nanoparticles mixed blends of NME and DEE enhances the performance characteristics and reduce the harmful emissions.

Cerium oxide, in addition to its catalytic properties, is also known for its optical properties such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation filtering and a relatively high refractive index ( n > 2 ), which makes it an excellent candidate for multifunctional coatings. Here, we focus on the optical properties of thin deposits (≲2 μ m) of densely packed C e O 2 nanoparticles, which we assemble using two evaporation-based techniques: convective self-assembly (CSA, a type of very slow blade-coating) to fabricate large-scale coatings of controllable thickness—from tens of nanometres to a few micrometers—and microfluidic pervaporation which permits us to add some micro-structure to the coatings. Spectroscopic ellipsometry yields the refractive index of the resulting nano-porous coatings, which behave as lossy dielectrics in the UV-visible regime and loss-less dielectrics in the visible to infra-red (IR) regime; in this regime, the fairly high refractive index (≈1.8) permits us to evidence thickness-tunable anti-reflection on highly refractive substrates, such as silicon, and concomitant enhanced transmissions which we checked in the mid-IR region.
