Sažetak

Cerium(IV) oxide is one of the most important rare earth metal oxides owing to its high oxygen storage and release capacity, as well as thermal and mechanical stability. Its various applications range from sensors, solid oxide fuel cells and supercapacitors to the most important catalytic application in three-way catalytic converters, oxidation of volatile organic molecules, water-gas shift reaction, etc. This short review article gives a brief introduction to rare earth metals, then describes in detail the properties of cerium(IV) oxide and ways to improve them, as well as presents an overview of the most important and current applications of cerium(IV) oxide. Finally, it gives an overview of the results obtained by our group regarding pure and doped cerium(IV) oxide for various applications.
