title: Formation and oxidation state of CeO(2-x) nanotubes.
abstract: Well-crystalline CeO(2-x) nanotubes are synthesized via a mild hydrothermal reaction route using cerium nitrate and ammonium hydroxide as reactants. The CeO(2-x) nanotubes have the same structure as the bulk CeO2 but larger lattice parameter. The measurement of the ratio of M5/M4 edge shows the valence reduction of cerium ions for the CeO(2-x) nanotubes.
