Cerium Oxide Powder Introduction
Cerium Oxide powder possesses a mild abrasive property, which is widely used in the glass and optics industry to impart a highly polished finish to surfaces.
The UV absorption property of Cerium Oxide powder opens up applications in sunscreens and cosmetics, giving effective protection against harmful UV radiation. As a solid electrolyte, it facilitates precision in oxygen sensors, helping automotive technology.
Having exceptional thermal stability, Cerium Oxide Powder can resist high temperatures and is therefore an even better choice for catalysis and fuel cell operations. Also, its activity as a redox buffer and use in ceramics contribute to its multi-purpose characteristics.

Cerium Oxide Powder Application
1. Rare Earth Polishing Effect
Rare earth polishing powders possess the properties of rapid polishing speed, smoothness, and long lifetime. Compared with traditional polishing powders, red iron powder, iron oxide polishing powders will not pollute the environment and are easy to be separated from the substances stuck on. For example, it only requires one minute to polish a lens using cerium oxide polishing powder, but at least 30 to 60 minutes using iron oxide polishing powder. Therefore, the rare earth polishing powders have the advantage of low consumption, high-speed polishing, and high polishing efficiency. Additionally, they can maximize polishing quality and working conditions.
High-cerium polishing powders ought to be employed in optical lenses and the like, whereas low-cerium polishing powders can be utilized extensively for polishing flat glass, cathode ray tube glass, eyeglass lenses, and other types of glass.
2. Applications in Catalysts
Cerium dioxide (CeO₂) not only possesses extraordinary oxygen storage and release properties but also acts as the most active of rare earth oxide catalysts. Electrodes play crucial roles in fuel cell electrochemical reactions. Not only is it a necessary part of fuel cells, but also a catalyst of electrochemical reactions. Therefore, cerium dioxide can be added as an additive under most conditions to enhance catalyst catalytic activities.
3. Use in Ultraviolet Absorption Products
Nano CeO₂ composites with SiO₂-coated surfaces are used as the main ultraviolet (UV) absorption materials in luxury cosmetics. This process has the benefit of eliminating the drawback of TiO₂ or ZnO, which is pale color and low UV absorption capacity.
Besides their uses in cosmetics, nano CeO₂ can also be added to polymers to form UV-resistance aging fibers, thus obtaining chemical fiber textiles with strong UV shielding and radiation shielding capability. These are superior to the properties of the current TiO₂, ZnO, and SiO₂. Besides that, nano CeO₂ may be added to coating to resist UV radiation and decelerate the rate of polymer aging and degradation.
