Photothermal catalytic conversion of CO2 with H2O has exhibited improved performance in solar-to-chemical (STC) energy conversion efficiency. However, the limited rate of photocatalytic half reactions has generally hindered the full exploitation of solar energy. To address this issue, we developed a CeO2/WO3 catalyst to facilitate the photoconversion process. Under concentrated light irradiation, the energy conversion efficiency of STC was increased to 0.356 ‰, which is 27.9 times higher that under non-concentrated light irradiation. The product amount of C2H4 increased from 4.36 µmol·g-1·h-1 to 124.21 µmol·g-1·h-1, representing a 27.5-fold increase. This success could be attributed to the photo-thermal synergistic effects which provided the photoexcited carriers with additional kinetic energy. Besides, the abundance of active sites at the heterojunction interfaces shortened the charge transfer distance and facilitated C-C coupling. This research contributes to the efficient and environmentally friendly use of solar energy to drive CO2 conversion with photothermal catalytic systems, and highlights the critical importance of heterojunction interfaces during the photocatalytic reactions.

Photocatalytic technology has been proven to be a simple and effective method for degrading recalcitrant organic pollutants. In this study, a series of Z-scheme heterojunction nanocomposites composed of CeO 2 and terephthalic acid-modified WO 3 was prepared and further used as photocatalysts for perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) degradation. In this design, terephthalic acid was used as an electron recombination center and heterojunction mediator, which effectively enhances the migration ability of electron–hole pairs and the physicochemical stability of the catalyst. In addition, in situ synthesis of CeO 2 onto the WO 3 surface by the coordinate bond between terephthalic acid and Ce ions can avoid CeO 2 agglomeration. As a result, the CeO 2 @WO 3 photocatalyst exhibits excellent PFBS degradation ability (94% for CeO 2 @WO 3 vs. 19% for CeO 2 ). After the fifth cyclic degradation experiment, the CeO 2 @WO 3 photocatalyst still maintains stable degradation efficiency. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism of the PFBS in CeO 2 @WO 3 photocatalytic process was analyzed by free radical trapping experiment and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technique. This study provides new insights for constructing Z-scheme heterojunction and demonstrates that CeO 2 @WO 3 photocatalysts possess a promising prospect for degrading PFBS pollutants.

CeO 2 /WO 3 -TiO 2 (CeWTi) and Nb 2 O 5 -CeO 2 /WO 3 -TiO 2 (NbCeWTi) catalysts were prepared by a sol-gel precipitation method. Both the catalysts exhibit high selective catalytic reduction of NO x with NH 3 (NH 3 -SCR) activities at 270–500 °C. The sulfur tolerances of the catalysts were evaluated at 270 °C by adding H 2 O and SO 2 in the feeding gas and NbCeWTi exhibited a significantly improved resistance. The thermogravimetric (TG) and mass spectrographic (MS) results indicated that much less sulfates formed on NbCeWTi and existed mainly in the form of ammonium hydrogen sulfate species which protected Ce x+ active sites effectively from attacking of SO 2 . According to the results of temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH 3 -TPD), H 2 temperature-programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR) and SO 2 oxidation , loading niobia on CeWTi inhibited the SO 2 oxidative adsorption and SO 3 production which basically reduced sulfur poisoning of the catalyst. Additionally, the niobia modification ensured the formation of nitrates from the competitive adsorption of SO 2 and hereby facilitated the nitrate SCR route based on the in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra (DRIFTS).

The ultimate optimization of natural systems in terms of “structure-function-environment adaptation” can provide inspiration for the design of advanced materials. Considering the urgent demand for efficient detection of 2-butanone in industrial safety and environmental monitoring, and the limitations of existing WO 3 -based gas sensors including low response intensity and poor selectivity, this research focuses on developing modified WO 3 -based composite materials with enhanced gas sensing performance using natural biological templates. In this work, an immersion process combined with calcination technology was employed to successfully replace the biosensitive scaffolds on pollen grains with gas-sensitive CeO 2 /WO 3 composites. This material exhibits outstanding response to 2-butanone at 185 °C, significantly surpassing the undoped sample while maintaining high selectivity. The outstanding sensing performance is attributed to its unique hierarchical structure and the synergistic effect of the CeO 2 /WO 3 heterostructure. This study provides a new perspective for us to explore low-cost gas sensors with natural biological morphologies and opens up new possibilities for expanding the applications of WO 3 -based composites.

Two Ce-W-Ti mixed oxide catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation (CeW/Ti-I) and mechanical mixing (Ce/W/Ti-M) methods. CeW/Ti-I catalyst exhibits over 80% NO x conversion and nearly 100% N 2 selectivity at 200–550 °C. The superior catalytic performance is associated with the high dispersion of active CeO 2 and acidic WO 3 on TiO 2 and the synergistic effects among different components. The X-ray Diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Nitrogen physisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, H 2 temperature-programmed reduction, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia and infrared spectroscopy were performed. It is found that the formation of solid solutions, as well as the high specific surface area, would increase the amounts of Ce 3+ , oxygen vacancies and acid sites in the catalyst. These broaden the operating temperature window of NH 3 -SCR reaction and enhance the N 2 selectivity by facilitating “fast SCR” reaction at low temperatures and inhibiting the unselective oxidation of NH 3 at high temperatures.
