Thermal stability of nano Ce1−xTixO2 material system for X < 0.2

Ceria (CeO2) is a technologically promising compound due to a remarkable set of properties. However, the use of ceria also has drawbacks, the most pronounced of which is the material's poor thermal stability. This property limits the use of ceria‐based materials at elevated temperatures, in many technological applications. To overcome this, the addition of TiO2 is proposed. Such addition essentially creates a new material system, namely Ce1−xTixO2. In this work, an array of techniques were employed to determine the thermal stability of this new compound range (X
