The paper investigates the size and morphological composition of ablated cerium dioxide nanoparticles after ultrasonic dispersion at centrifugation speeds from 800 to 13400 rpm. A nanodispersed solution of cerium dioxide was deposited onto silicon substrates by the drop method. To characterize the size and morphological composition of cerium dioxide nanoparticles, methods of scanning electron and atomic microscopy were used, and X-ray phase analysis was performed. It was found that ablated cerium dioxide particles in an aqueous solution agglomerated and without centrifugation their average size was 162 nm, after centrifugation their average size varied from 86 nm to 142.5 nm. X-ray phase analysis showed that with an increase in the centrifuge speed, the size of the coherent scattering region decreases, which affects the effectiveness of antioxidant properties, for example, in the Fenton reaction.
