"... this book represents an excellent review of the applicability and the full potential of ceria in catalysis, but it is also recommended as a starting platform for non-experts in order to become acquainted with important aspects of environmental catalysis." Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, Nov 2002 "... this book is an excellent compendium on the science, technology, and applications of ceria-based catalysts. It provides useful overviews, both to graduate students beginning their scientific careers in the field of catalysis and to industrial researchers working in the fields of industrial, environmental, and automotive catalysts." Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2002
