In this work, a new polyvinylidene fluoride nano-ultrafiltration membrane modified by graphene oxide/ titanium dioxide doped with cerium composite materials (GO/Ce-TiO 2 -PVDF) was prepared by phase inversion method. The water contact angle, porosity, pore size distribution , and photocatalytic performance of the membrane were studied. Compared with the PVDF membrane, the water contact angle of the modified membrane decreased to 36.5°, the pure water flux improved to 119.64 L·m -2 ·h -1 , and the retention rate of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was 95.3%. The synergistic effect of GO and Ce-TiO 2 could improve the photocatalytic activity of the composite membrane , and the degradation rate of BSA was 97.4%. The flux recovery rate (FRR) of the modified membrane was 82.38%, which was 22.24% higher than that of the PVDF membrane (67.39%). The FRR of the modified membrane increased to 91.54% under water cleaning and UV irradiation. Five cycle experiments showed that the permeate flux of the polluted membrane was further restored from 78.45 L·m -2 ·h -1 to 76.95 L·m -2 ·h -1 after UV irradiation, and the retention rate of BSA was maintained at about 95%. Therefore, as predicted, the GO/Ce-TiO 2 -PVDF membrane could be widely applied in the water treatment industry due to its high anti-fouling and self-cleaning performances.

In order to enhance the carrier separation efficiency and redox ability of photoanode, a dual Z-scheme heterojunction Ce-UiO-66/g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 2 WO 6 /Ti photoanode was prepared and assembled with Cu cathode to form PFC. The characterization results show that Ce-UiO-66/g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 2 WO 6 uniformly distributed on the Ti substrate, with average crystallite size of 9.04 nm and average particle size of 33.05 nm, which provides sufficient reactive active sites for RhB degradation. The RhB degradation rate, P max , J sc , V oc and FF of the PFC were 90.9 % (90 min), 7.53 µW cm -2 , 0.152 mA cm -2 , 0.37 V and 0.134, respectively. The turnover frequency (TOF) for RhB degradation by the PFC reached 0.98 h -1 . Fermi energy level analysis shows that a double-Z heterojunction is formed between Bi 2 WO 6 and g-C 3 N 4 , and between Bi 2 WO 6 and Ce-UiO-66, which not only effectively separates photogenerated e - - h + , but also retains the high redox ability of the composite. Moreover, with the introduction of Ce-UiO-66, the composite photoanode has larger specific surface area and wider visible light absorption range. In addition, because of the built-in electric field, the photogenerated electrons can migrate to the surface of composite particles more easily and react with dissolved oxygen to generate more •O 2 - to participate in the degradation of RhB. This work provides a valuable reference for developing PFC photoanode with high efficiency and visible light response.

CO 2 methanation is a potential way for the re-utilization of CO 2 . MOF derivations are promising candidates for commonly used Ni-based catalysts due to their high porosity and confinement effect. Herein, we systematically investigated the synthetic pathway of Zr-MOF-derived Ni-based catalysts. It is found that Ce addition can effectively improve the thermostability, specific surface area and Ni dispersion of the derived Ni/CeO 2 -ZrO 2 catalyst. It can also enhance the adsorption of CO 2 by the generation of O v and improve CO 2 methanation activity. Calcination the MOF in inert gas leads to the formation of CNTs and amorphous carbon. Amorphous carbon results in less interaction between NiO and CeO 2 as well as low amount of O v , leading to lower catalytic activity than the catalyst calcinated in air. Compared with impregnation method, one-pot solvothermal method leads to much higher specific surface area for both MOF and derived oxides. It also benefits the uniform dispersion of NiO and higher amount of O v . Therefore, it shows better catalytic activity and is proved to be a better method for Ni introduction. In the catalysts we discussed, St-ZrCeNi (Ce addition, one-pot solvothermal method, calcination in air) shows the highest CO 2 conversion and good CH 4 selectivity due to its high specific area and more O v . It also shows good stability (>50 h) and good intrinsic activity. This research reveals the roles of several important factors in the synthesis process of Zr-MOF derived Ni-based catalysts. It also gives new insights for the design and synthesis for other MOF derived catalysts.

The selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) is an effective method for removing slipped high-concentration ammonia from NH 3 -fueled engine exhaust gas. Herein a novel bifunctional catalyst was synthesized by mechanically mixing sulfated Ce/ZrO 2 (Ce/ZrO 2 -S) with a small fraction of Pt/Al 2 O 3 (Pt 0.1 wt.%) for SCO of NH 3 . As expected, the introduction of a small amount of Pt/Al 2 O 3 significantly improved NH 3 conversion ability of Ce/ZrO 2 -S catalysts toward low-temperature direction. When the mass ratio of Pt/Al 2 O 3 to Ce/ZrO 2 -S was 7.5% (the corresponding mixed catalyst was denoted as P@CZS-7.5), T 90 temperature was 312 °C. More importantly, P@CZS-7.5 catalyst exhibited a much better N 2 selectivity (> 96%) in a wide temperature range (320 ~ 450 °C). H 2 -TPR results revealed that the addition of a trace amount of Pt/Al 2 O 3 significantly led to a distinct shift of reduction temperature peak toward low-temperature direction, thereby greatly improved the low-temperature redox performance of mixed catalysts. Furthermore, NH 3 -TPD and BET results showed that P@CZS-7.5 catalyst exhibited a similar NH 3 adsorption capacity to Ce/ZrO 2 -S catalyst, while the former had a relatively higher specific surface area than the latter. It was considered as a crucial factor for P@CZS-7.5 catalyst maintaining superior N 2 selectivity in high-concentration NH 3 (5000 ppm) removal processes. In situ DRIFTS results indicated that P@CZS-7.5 catalyst followed the internal selective catalytic reduction (i-SCR) mechanism in NH 3 -SCO reactions.

In this study, a novel NCNS-Ce-PbO 2 electrode was prepared by electrodeposition method using the rare earth metal Ce and synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (NCNSs). Various characterization and electrochemical performance tests showed that the NCNS-Ce-PbO 2 electrode possessed a denser surface and smaller grains than other NCNS-PbO 2 and Ce-PbO 2 electrodes, with more active surface sites and thus could generate more hydroxyl radicals. N , N -diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) was selected as the model contaminant to evaluate the electrochemical performance of the novel NCNS-Ce-PbO 2 electrode. The effects of initial pollutant concentration, current density, electrolyte concentration, and initial pH on the removal rates of DEET and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were investigated. Under optimal conditions, after degradation of 150 min, the removal rate of DEET and COD reached 100% and 80.52%, respectively. GC–MS was used to identify intermediate products in the degradation process. The degradation mechanism and possible degradation pathways of DEET with NCNS-Ce-PbO 2 electrode were discussed. The good stability of the NCNS-Ce-PbO 2 anode was confirmed by accelerated lifetime experiments.

Graphical H 2 reduction reduces part of Cu 2+ to Cu + and Ce 4+ to Ce 3+ on the catalyst surface, and Cu and Ce can be stably anchored on the surface of the Cu−Ce/AC catalyst, which effectively improves the dispersion of the Cu component, and then slows down the loss of metal Cu. In this study, we utilized the carbon precursor derived from walnut shells to synthesize a series of Ce-modified Cu-based carbon catalysts (Cu−Ce/AC) via the impregnation method. We investigated the performance and stability of Cu−Ce/AC catalysts for CWAO phenol after H 2 reduction at various temperatures. The Cu−Ce/AC-250 catalyst exhibited its highest performance at 250 °C, achieving complete phenol conversion. Characterization results from techniques including XRD, BET, FTIR, ICP-OES, SEM-EDS, XPS, and H 2 -TPR indicated that the active components of the H 2 -reduced catalysts were more evenly distributed across the catalyst surface, thereby enhancing the availability of reactive sites for phenol oxidation. Simultaneously, under the appropriate temperature, the H 2 atmosphere can reduce a portion of the Cu 2+ on the catalyst surface to Cu + , thereby mitigating the loss of Cu components.

Ce(III) ion-imprinted polymer (Ce(III)-IIP) grafted on Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles supported by SBA-15 mesopores microreactor was successfully synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization for selective removal of Ce(III) from aqueous solution. The characterization results suggest that the surface ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) synthesized by RAFT is a thin layer. Adsorption isotherm experiments indicated that Redlich-Peterson isotherm model best fitted the experimental data and the adsorption capacity of IIP was obviously higher than that of non-imprinted polymers (NIP) at the same conditions. The kinetics of adsorption followed the Thomas model. Moreover, competitive adsorption studies illustrated that Ce(III)-IIP offers the advantages of selectivity towards Ce(III) compared with NIP even in the presence of other metal ions. All above results indicated the potential application of Ce(III)-IIP for selective removal of Ce(III) from aqueous solution.

There is an urgent need for efficient and cost-effective adsorbents for the removal of trace hydrogen phosphide (PH 3 ) from the circular hydrogen systems in the polysilicon chemical vapor deposition furnaces. In this study, a straightforward and cost-effective method was used to synthesize a highly efficient adsorbent (Ce x -Cu y /TiO 2 ) for PH 3 removal using TiO 2 as the carrier and CuO as the active substance. Experimental findings demonstrated that optimal Ce doping amounts (n Cu :n Ce = 20:1) markedly enhanced the adsorbent's performance, with an adsorption capacity reaching as high as 149.14 mg g −1 . Material characterization results indicated that Ce positively influenced the uniform dispersion of Cu on the TiO 2 surface, and Ce doping increased the adsorbed oxygen content of the adsorbent, consequently enhancing its oxidation performance. The investigation of the reaction mechanism and causes of adsorbent deactivation revealed that the depletion of active substances (CuO) in the adsorbent and the accumulation of products such as Cu 3 P and phosphates are the primary factors contributing to its deactivation. Furthermore, high-temperature calcination could restore the activity of the adsorbent, indicating its great potential for engineering applications.

Several Ru-Ti oxide-based catalysts were investigated for the catalytic oxidation of HCl to Cl2in this work. The active component RuO2was loaded on different titanium-containing supports by a facile wetness impregnation method. The Ru-Ti oxide based catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2sorption, SEM, TEM, H2-TPR, XPS, and Raman, which is correlated with the catalytic tests. Rutile TiO2was confirmed as the optimal support even though it has a low specific surface area. In addition to the interfacial epitaxial lattice matching and epitaxy, the extraordinary performance of Ru-Ti rutile oxide could also be attributed to the favorable oxygen species on Ru sites and specific active phase-support interactions. On the other hand, the influence of additive Ce on the RuO2/TiO2-rutile was studied. The incorporation of Ce by varied methods resulted in further oxidation of RuO2into RuO2δ+and a modification of the support structure. The amount of favorable oxygen species on the surface was decreased. As a result, the Deacon activity was lowered. It was demonstrated that the surface oxygen species and specific interactions of the Ru-Ti rutile oxide were critical to HCl oxidation.

The printing and dyeing wastewater produced by different dyes, as well as different printing and dyeing processes, have different components. These wastewater have high toxicity, high organic concentration, and deep chromaticity. Ozone catalytic oxidation is a very promising technical method for wastewater treatment. In this paper, Mn/Mg/Ce ternary catalyst was prepared, and the ozone catalytic oxidation treatment of actual and simulated printing and dyeing wastewater was performed to study the performance of four different carrier catalysts, namely, molecular sieve (MS), silica gel (SG), attapulgite (ATP), and nano alumina (Al2O3), by simulated dynamic test. The effects of reaction time, pH, and catalyst dosage on methyl orange degradation were studied. The results showed that under the optimum treatment conditions (120 min, pH 11, and 12.5 g/L catalyst dosage), the degradation rate of methyl orange reached 96% and the removal rate of the chemical oxygen demand of printing and dyeing wastewater reached 48.7%. This study shows that the treatment effect of ozone catalytic oxidation on printing and dyeing wastewater is remarkably improved after catalyst addition. This study provides a new choice of ozone catalyst for the degradation of printing and dyeing wastewaters in the future.

Adding polyethylene glycol (PEG) can lessen the shedding of coating and improve the dispersion of active particles for monolithic catalysts. In this study, a series of Cu-Mn-Ce-O x (P x )/TiO 2 (P x )/CH catalysts were prepared with different PEG molecular weights (P x , x = 200, 1000, and 2000) to explore the effect of P x addition on the structure and activity of the catalysts in microwave catalytic combustion of toluene. The research showed that P x addition (1 wt% dosage to titanium sol) to coating reduced the particle size of titanium sol and decreased the shedding rate of TiO 2 coating 0.9–0.93 %, and P x addition (3 wt% dosage to CH's water absorption) to active components further lessened the shedding rate of the catalysts 1.93–2.04 %. Under an initial toluene concentration of 1500 mg/m 3 and a gas hourly space velocity of 2260 h −1 , Cu-Mn-Ce-O x (P 1000 )/TiO 2 (P 1000 )/CH owned the highest catalytic activity and its complete removal temperature (T R100 ) and mineralization temperature (T M100 ) to toluene were 180℃ and 218℃, respectively, which were lower 33℃ and 16℃, 56℃ and 58℃ than Cu-Mn-Ce-O x /TiO 2 (P 1000 )/CH and Cu-Mn-Ce-O x /TiO 2 /CH catalysts separately, and its activity maintained steadily with toluene removal efficiencies of 99–91 % over 12 h. The improved activity is attributed to the uniform dispersion of active particles, larger specific surface area, and increased adsorbed oxygen, facilitated by pore-forming and steric-hindrance effects of P x . Electron transfer among Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ /Mn 2+ , Cu 2+ /Cu + , and Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ promoted the oxidation of toluene under microwave irradiation. Therefore, the research provides technological support for developing transition metals-based catalysts for industrial VOC waste gas treatment.

Psoriasis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 0.72% of the Chinese population. Currently, available treatments cannot completely cure this disease. The excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been considered to be a key contributor to the progression of psoriasis. In this study, Ce and Mn were doped into mesoporous silicon nanomaterials with optimized ratios that could form uniform and well-dispersed CM@MSNs particles, which were able to effectively remove a wide range of ROS. As a result, treatment with CM@MSNs could reduce epidermal hyperplasia and prevent inflammatory reactions in the imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like model in mice. Mechanistically, CM@MSNs might prevent the inflammation by repressing the IL-17 and NF-κB signaling pathways and ameliorating epidermal hyperplasia through the activation of both canonical and noncanonical Wnt signaling pathways. In conclusion, this research could lead to a promising treatment method for psoriasis. This work provides an example of nanoenzymes for effectively scavenging ROS of diseases.
