After hydrolysis and condensation, the obtained sol was aged at room temperature for 24 hours before being dried at 80C for 48 hours. Finally, the powder was calcined at

6、 600C for 2 hours to obtain the SiO2/CeO2 composite abrasive particles.The morphology and particle size distribution of the abrasive particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser particle size analyzer. The polishing experiments were conducted using a polishing tool co

The surface roughness of the polished samples was significantly reduced from 3.3 nm to 0.8 nm.ConclusionThe SiO2/CeO2 composit
