Both shape and size of the ceria NPs could be tuned more conveniently by changing the concentration of the reactants, the amount of stabilizing agents (especially for oleic acid (OLA)), and the water/toluene ratio in the reaction system.

• Compared with the OLA tails interdigitating at ~2.2 nm, the shorter interparticle spacing d of ~1.3-1.9 nm in the regular arrays excludes a simple surfactant-mediated self-assembly. • The large-sized nanocubes can also self-assemble into 3D NP arrays through the evaporation of a mixed solvent of toluene and ethanol. • The strong dipole-dipole interactions from the polar {200} surfaces are probably the driving force for self-assembly of the nanocubes because long-range van der Waals forces become difficult to control for NPs whose dimensions are beyond molecular length scales (d > 10 nm).

2.3.2 Soft template-directed synthesis
The possible formation mechanism of ceria nanospheres can be explain: with the high reaction temperature, diethyleneglycol is partially converted to the compounds with acidic groups . At the same time, high temperature and pressure cause cerium salt to decompose to form tiny ceria particles, and the surface hydroxyl groups of ceria tiny particles reacted with acidic groups to form the polymer-like inorganic–organic compounds , which are the above mentioned the intermediates of ceria nanospheres. Subsequently, in view of the low energy point as mentioned in previous reports , the polymer-like inorganic– organic compounds are self-assembled as monodispersed nanospheres with the aid of PVP. After calcinations at a suitable temperature, the uniform and monodisperse ceria nanospheres, which are composed of tiny nanoparticles, are obtained.
