Abstract: A facile and novel method for synthesizing cerium oxide nanotubes is reported in this paper. Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) were firstly uniformly coated with CeO2 nanoparticles by a liquid deposition approach at room temperature and normal pressure and then CNT templates were removed by calcination at a suitable temperature. The characteristics of cerium oxide nanotubes were characterized by TEM, XRD and XPS. The results reveal that the face-centered cubic-phase CeO2 nanotubes with an average diameter of 40—60 nm and a length of 0.5—2 μm is synthesized.

Key words: Carbon nanotubes, CeO2, Template
