The structure of Ce3+, which is responsible for the low-temperature oxygen storage capacity of ceria, was determined by high-energy-resolution fluorescence detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ce L3 and L1 edges. Well-defined ceria nanoparticles (rods, truncated octahedra, and cubes) were s...
