A correlation between the particle size and the lattice parameter has been established in nanocerium oxide particles . The variation in the lattice parameter is attributed to the lattice strain induced by the introduction of due to the formation of oxygen vacancies. Lattice strain was observed to decrease with an increase in the particle size. ions concentration increased from 17% to 44% with the reduction in the particle size.
