These nanocubes were able to form a stable monolayer over water and HAuCl4 subphase in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) trough due to the presence of surface capped oleic acid and oleylamine. CeO2-Au nanocomposites were synthesized exploiting the ability of oleylamine to reduce AuCl4 ions to Au-0, via LB method. CeO2 nanocubes gave rise to excellent long-range assembly at air/water interface and gold nanoparticles were formed inside these porous nanocubes without disturbing this arrangement. The formation of a stable monolayer was evidenced from the surface pressure-area (P-A) isotherm. The development of Au nanoparticles was confirmed with great effort from a comprehensive study using UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, XPS, FTIR, TEM, STEM, EDX, tomography and chemical mapping.</p>1 aDas, Subhasis1 aBhattacharjee, Gourab1 aSatpati, Biswarup1 aKumar, Mukesh1 aDeka, Sasanka1 aGhosalya, Manoj, Kumar1 aGopinath, Chinnakonda, S.1 aBala, Tanushree  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/deposition-au-nanoparticles-inside-porous-ceo2-nanocubes-using-langmuir-blodgett-technique
