Pigments of cerium-praseodymium type have not been well known, They ar
e of interest with respect to their colour hues in ceramic glazes, and
are based on the incorporation of praseodymium ions into the host lat
tice of cerium dioxide. We have now studied possibilities for the prep
aration of Ce1-xPrxO2 pigments, their properties, structure, quality,
and possible applications for ceramic glazes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scienc
