What is it about?
This article is about understanding the hydrophobicity of CeO2. As a rare earth oxide, the intrinsic hydrophobicity exhibited by CeO2 is of importance towards its functionality as a catalyst.

Why is it important?
The surface-water interactions of the different surfaces of ceria crystals need to be understood to better design materials in the future.
Perspectives
The future of rare earth oxide surfaces as intrinsically hydrophobic systems remains ripe for further exploration. It is expected that myriads of researchers over coming decades will delve into this fertile field to extract abundant nuggets of knowledge which will be used to pave the way into the future
