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-technique01700nas a2200265   4500008004100000022001400041245012000055210006900175260000900244300001400253490000600267520079100273653002901064653001401093653001801107653002901125653002501154100001801179700002601197700002201223700002201245700002701267700002001294856012001314       2019                        eng d  a2365-654900aDexterous route for synthesis of hollow spherical ZnO and ZnO-Ag nanocomposite with superior photocatalytic ability0 aDexterous route for synthesis of hollow spherical ZnO and ZnOAg   cMAY   a5518-55260 v43 a<p>Hollow spherical ZnO and hollow ZnO-Ag nanocomposites with variable percentage of loading of Ag content were successfully fabricated through a novel, template free and easily reproducible route. Extensive characterizations were carried out using FTIR, XRD, XPS, BET, TEM and SEM. The hollow morphology of the particle and the composite encouraged a detailed photocatalysis study in comparison to solid commercial ZnO and the corresponding ZnO-Ag composite. The photocatalytic activity of the hollow particle and the composite was assessed monitoring the decolouration of methylene blue dye using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopic technique. An increased surface area for hollow morphology as compared to solid particles established a conspicuous boost in photocatalytic activity.</p>
