Using aqueous combustion synthesis route the ultrafine ceria powder is produced with the help of glycine and nitrate, nitrate utilized as an oxidizer and glycine as a fuel. Using balancing equation with required molar ratios both fuel and oxidizer mixes together in deionized water. Viscous liquids containing glycine and ceric ammonium nitrate gets auto-ignited and resulted in voluminous ceria powder. Characterization is carried out on ceria powder after calcinations process. The resulted powder obtained in the present investigation is in the nano range.
