The invention provides a ceria-zirconia
oxide nanometer material dispersed in water medium. Water is used as a dispersion medium,
solid solution nano-particles prepared from
cerium oxide and
zirconium oxide are used as dispersion-phase
sol, wherein the nano-particle is a
single crystal with the nanoscale being 2-8nm and is singly dispersed in the water medium; the
mass of the CexZr(1-x)O2 nano-particles is 0.1-30% of the volume of the nanometer material
sol, the content of the CexZr(1-x)O2 nano-particles can be further increased through
evaporation and concentration or water can be added freely for
dilution. The prepared ceria-zirconia oxide nanometer material has the nano-meter characteristics of remarkable small size effect and surface effect and the like, and can be used for an
oxygen storage / release material of a three-way catalyst for automobile
exhaust gas purification, a carrier of a supported catalyst or an assisted-
catalysis material,
optical glass, semiconductors, LED ultra-precision
polishing materials, a
surface layer thermal barrier or a wear-resistant material of a special plate, a catalytic
promoter of a fuel
cell anode, and an optimal property modifying agent for
hydrogen storage, sensing, luminous and
ceramic materials and the like.
