Growths of nanophased ZrO2-CeO2 or TiO2-ZrO2-CeO2 thin films, interesting as catalysts forcomplete oxidation of hydrocarbons, were performed by using cerium tetrakis-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate, zirconium tris-isopropoxy 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate and titaniumtetraisopropoxide as CVD precursors at a reactor temperature of 380°C. Alumina glass and honeycombcordierite were used as substrates. Two different approaches were proposed in order to obtain composite oxidefilms: a sequential deposition of single-phase coatings and thermal treatment of the fmal multi-layers to favourthe interdiffision, or a co-deposition of CeO2 and ZrO2. Both crystallization and intermixing behaviour ofcomposite films were studied after annealing in air at 1000°C by X-ray Diffraction, Scanning ElectronMicroscopy and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.

Abstract
Growths of nanophased ZrO2-CeO2 or TiO2-ZrO2-CeO2 thin films, interesting as catalysts forcomplete oxidation of hydrocarbons, were performed by using cerium tetrakis-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate, zirconium tris-isopropoxy 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate and titaniumtetraisopropoxide as CVD precursors at a reactor temperature of 380°C. Alumina glass and honeycombcordierite were used as substrates. Two different approaches were proposed in order to obtain composite oxidefilms: a sequential deposition of single-phase coatings and thermal treatment of the fmal multi-layers to favourthe interdiffision, or a co-deposition of CeO2 and ZrO2. Both crystallization and intermixing behaviour ofcomposite films were studied after annealing in air at 1000°C by X-ray Diffraction, Scanning ElectronMicroscopy and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
