The anatase-rutile phase transformation of TiO2 doped cerium up to 5 mol% was studied by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The samples were prepared by sol-gel auto-igniting synthesis process from a TiO(NO3)2-Ce(NO3)2-NH4NO3-citric acid complex compound system. The combusted amorphous powders were calcined at different temperatures. Significant structural changes were observed during the various stages of the phase transformation.It was concluded that at low dopant contents, cerium ions were incorporated into the TiO2 structure, and the anatase phase was stabilized; but at larger amounts, part of the dopant was segregated on the surface of TiO2 and the rutile formation was accelerated at elevated calcination temperature.
