Cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles were prepared through a facile method (co-precipitation method) byusing various catalysts like sodium hydroxide (NaOH), Potassium hydroxide (KOH), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) andammonia (NH3) in the absence of surfactants. The products were characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman and SEManalyses. It was found that cubic structure with Fm-3m space group was confirmed through XRD analysis. The Ce-Ostretching vibration was ascertained through FT-IR spectrum. Further triply degenerate F2g Raman mode of the fluoritestructure of CeO2 was confirmed through Raman analysis and flakes like morphology with soft agglomeration wasconfirmed through SEM analysis. The CeO2 formation mechanism is also discussed.
