[Display omitted] In this paper, CeO2 microplates were synthesized by a sol-gel auto-combustion method. AgI nanoparticles (NPs) were then deposited onto the surface of CeO2 via a facile deposition–precipitation method. The as-prepared AgI/CeO2 samples were characterized by various analytical techniq...
