Popis: CeO 2 , Eu 2 O 3 and mixed oxides of CeO 2 –UO 2 , Eu 2 O 3 –UO 2 were fabricated. The preparative method was based on the irradiation of aqueous solutions containing cerium/europium (and uranyl) nitrates and ammonium formate. In the course of irradiation, the solid phase (precursor) was precipitated. The composition of irradiated solutions significantly affected the properties of precursor formed in the course of the irradiation. However, subsequent heat treatment of (amorphous) precursors at temperatures ≤650 °C invariably resulted in the formation of powder oxides with well-developed nanocrystals with linear crystallite size 13–27 nm and specific surface area 10–46 m 2 g −1 . The applicability of both ionizing (e-beam) and non-ionizing (UV) radiation was studied.
