The formation of light rare earth metal oxides such as CeO2, La2O3, Sm2O3, Nd2O3 and Pr2O3 from thermal decomposition of its nitrate precursors (Ce(NO3)3·6H2O, La(NO3)3·6H2O, Sm(NO3)3·6H2O, Nd(NO3)3·6H2O and Pr(NO3)3·6H2O) have been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. The rare earth metal ox...
