In the present study, we constructed the Ce-doped biomass carbon-based mesoporous g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst via alternanthera philoxeroides griseb growing guide using calcination method. The Ce-C@g-C 3 N 4 exhibited more superior photocatalytic performance for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (96 %) degrading than that of pure g-C 3 N 4 (39 %) and C@g-C 3 N 4 (60 %). As a consequence, the improved degradation efficiency of Ce-C@g-C 3 N 4 attributed to the biomass carbon can significantly enhance the mass transport channels of electron-hole pairs. Meanwhile, the doped Ce 4+ ions acting as the redox center can sufficiently utilize the photogenerated carriers for generating more active radicals. Also, the possible photocatalytic reaction mechanisms including transfer behaviors of charge carriers, generation of reactive species, intermediate degradation products are also discussed in detail. This work may provide a promising approach for synthesizing g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalyst by the plant growing guide and application in wastewater treatment.

In recent years, the rapid economic development has significantly altered industrial production and human lifestyle, resulting in the exacerbation of water pollution. Consequently, photocatalytic technology has received considerable attention as an environmentally friendly and efficient approach for wastewater treatment. In this paper, WO 3 /SiO 2 /SnO 2 composite films were prepared by sol-gel method and subsequently co-doped with Ce, Fe and Ag ions. The photocatalytic performances of these modified composite films toward degradation of methyl green (MG) and tetracycline (TC) were systematically evaluated under UV and visible light irradiation. Comprehensive characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Nitrogen adsorption desorption isotherm test, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectrascopy, were employed to investigate the crystalline phase, morphology, particle size, chemical composition, specific surface area and optical properties of the prepared composite films. The PL spectral analysis revealed that the co-doping of Ce, Fe and Ag significantly enhanced the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carrier in the WO 3 /SiO 2 /SnO 2 composite films. Radical trapping experiments demonstrated that superoxide radicals (·O 2 - ) and hydoxyl radicals (·OH) played predominant roles in the photocatalytic degradation process. Notably, the prepared photocatalyst maintained stable performance through five consecutive recycling tests, demonstrating excellent reusability. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the WO 3 /SiO 2 /SnO 2 -Ce/Fe/Ag composite films can be attributed to the impactful suppression of electron-hole recombination through the strategic incorporation of dopant ions.

In this work, a cerium doped CoP nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for efficient and durable hydrogen evolution was developed. The detailed preparation process was described as the followings. First, cerium was introduced into ZIF-67 to form Ce-doped ZIF-67 by a joint nucleation method. Then, the Ce-doped Co-CNTs was synthesized by carbonization of Ce-doped ZIF-67. During the process, the Co2+ was reduced to form Co NPs and the elegant nanostructure of CNTs was formed by the catalytic effect of Co NPs. Finally, by using Ce-doped Co-CNTs as the precursor, the target catalyst (Ce0.05-doped CoP CNTs) was obtained through a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process in the presence of NaH2PO2. Results of the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the target catalyst maintained the original rhombic dodecahedron morphology of ZIF-67 and the CoP NPs were embedded in CNTs and distributed uniformly throughout the catalyst. In electrochemical measurements, the catalyst showed the best performance for HER in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. The onset potential, Tafel slope, electron transfer resistance (Rct) and double-layer capacitance (Cdl) of the target catalyst was 49 mV, 78 mV dec−1, 19.2 Ω and 10.5 mF cm−2, respectively. Meanwhile, the catalyst yielded a current density of 10 mA cm−2 merely at an overpotential of 146 mV. Furthermore, it maintained 90% of the original current density in a chronoamperometry measurement and showed no obvious decay even after 2000 cycles scans in a long-term durability test.

A pH-sensitive hydrogel [P(CE- co -DMAEMA- co -MEG)] was synthesized by the free-radical crosslinking polymerization of N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate(MPEG-Mac) and methoxyl poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(caprolactone)-methacryloyl methchloride (PCE-Mac). The effects of pH and monomer content on swelling property, swelling and deswelling kinetics of the hydrogels were examined and hydrogel microstructures were investigated by SEM. Sodium salicylate was chosen as a model drug and the controlled-release properties of hydrogels were pilot studied. The results indicated that the swelling ratios of the gels in stimulated gastric fluids (SGF, pH = 1.4) were higher than those in stimulated intestinal fluids (SIF, pH = 7.4), and followed a non-Fickian and a Fickian diffusion mechanism, respectively. In vitro release studies showed that its release rate depends on different swelling of the network as a function of the environmental pH and DMAEMA content. SEM micrographs showed homogenous pore structure of the hydrogel with open pores at pH 1.4. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131 , 40737.

SrHfO 3 :Ce and SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al powders were prepared by the solid-state synthesis using the commercial HfO 2 , SrCO 3 , CeO 2 and α-Al 2 O 3 as the starting materials. All the SrHfO 3 :Ce and SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al powders calcined at different temperatures within 1100 °C–1300 °C for 8 h in air exhibited a pure SrHfO 3 phase. Meanwhile, the effects of different calcination temperatures and co-doped alumina on the microstructure of SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al powders were discussed. SrHfO 3 :Ce and SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al ceramics were successfully fabricated via the vacuum sintering at 1800 °C for 20 h. The alumina acted as the sintering aid, which promoted the densification and eliminated the intragranular pores of SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al ceramics. The charge disbalance was effectively compensated by co-doped alumina. SrHfO 3 :Ce,Al ceramics exhibited a higher light yield of 5700 ph/MeV compared with 4600 ph/MeV obtained in SrHfO 3 :Ce ceramics. The charge traps in ceramics and their effects on scintillation properties were also investigated by thermoluminescence measurement.

The advanced treatment of municipal secondary effluent by heterogeneous and homogeneous Fenton processes using Fe/Ce-RGO (reduced graphene oxide) and Fe 2+ as catalysts was studied and compared. Sulfamethazine (SMT) was spiked in the effluent to examine the effectiveness of the emerging contaminant removal. The Fe/Ce-RGO catalyst was characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and cycle voltammetry curves. The removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), SMT, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy in 254 nm (UV 254 ) of municipal secondary effluents was examined. The DOC removal efficiency of secondary effluent (without addition of SMT) was 36.30% and 11.74% using Fe/Ce-RGO and Fe 2+ as catalysts, respectively. The removal efficiency of DOC, SCOD, and SMT in heterogeneous Fenton process was higher than that in homogeneous Fenton process. The changes of three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3DEEM) fluorescence, soluble microbial products (SMPs), humic acids, and UV 254 were determined, and the results indicated that UV 254, aromatic proteins, and humic acids decreased rapidly in both processes; however, polysaccharides and protein-like substances were difficult to degrade. Although some toxic substances produced after Fenton-like treatment, the biodegradability of the treated effluent was enhanced.

We report the fabrication of Ce–Fe oxides (CFOs) derived from Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) with different shapes of sphere (CFO-S), bipyramid (CFO-B), and flower (CFO-F), which are prepared by controlling the volume ratio of water and ethanol and the addition of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to control the solvent environment using a modified coprecipitation method. The structure, morphology, and the surface properties of Ce–Fe oxides were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The catalytic performance of PBA-derived Ce–Fe oxides was evaluated for the oxidation of cyclohexane, which positively correlated with surface oxygen vacancy and the amount ratio of Ce/Fe. The conversion for cyclohexane of CFO-S and CFO-B was 9.03 and 9.25%, respectively. However, CFO-S had a higher selectivity for K/A-oil (cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol) of 81.8%, resulting from the exposed crystal plane (100) compared to CFO-B (75%). Besides, CFO-F was rich in the Fe2O3 crystal phase, which is beneficial for KA selectivity. It was found that Ce3+, Fe3+, and OV had an important influence on the activation of C–H bonds, which provides a reference for the design of efficient alkane oxidation catalysts.

In SCR denitrification technology, the conventional coprecipitation method has the disadvantages of high temperature and difficulty in controlling the precipitation rate. Various Ce x CuTiO 2 catalysts were synthesized using ice-melting (Ce x CuTi-Ice) and conventional coprecipitation (Ce x CuTi-Con) methods for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH 3 . Ce 0.4 CuTi-Ice catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity among the Ce x CuTiO 2 catalysts, and 80% NO x conversion was achieved within a temperature range of 250–375 °C, exceeding that of Ce 0.4 CuTi-Con catalyst by 20%; in addition, N 2 selectivity was nearly 100%. To elucidate the release characteristics of the precursor solution during ice-melting synthesis, the changes of Cu and Ce concentrations in the solution were investigated by ICP-OES. The precursor solution was released at a slow rate via the ice-melting method, resulting in a large surface area, small crystallite sizes, and effective uniform nanoparticles with abundant active species and increased surface acidity. The promoted mechanism could be attributed to the enhanced oxidation of NO to NO 2 at low temperatures and the rapid reaction between NO species and coordinated NH 3 at high temperatures. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

The discharge of oily wastewater and sewage in industry and life was increasing, seriously affecting the sustainability of the environment and ecosystem. In this work, a multifunctional superhydrophobic nanocellulose-based membrane was prepared by spraying Ce-MOF nanoparticles onto the nanocellulose membrane, which had a hydrostatic contact angle of up to 170°: (i) Resistance to harsh conditions (including high temperatures, abrasion, ultraviolet light exposure, bending, and self-cleaning); (ii) Achieve efficient separation of mixed oil and water. It has shown commendable efficacy in separating wastewater containing mixed oils. The separation flux of mixed oil wastewater was 179 L·m −2 ·h −1 (n-hexane and chloroform/water), and the separation efficiency was >94 % (n-hexane and chloroform/water); (iii) Efficient and rapid photocatalytic removal of pollutants, which is a useful property to prevent organic pollution; (iv) Effectively prevent biological pollutants adhesion, reducing the amount of microbial adhesion by 67.74 %. In many fields, such as industrial production and urban sewage treatment, wastewater treatment in harsh environments as well as the durability of materials has always been an issue. The appearance of this new material provides a feasible solution to this problem.

A new bimetallic-centered MOFs, NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti/Ce), was synthesized by partially replacing Ti with Ce. The doping of Ce endowed the MOFs oxidase-like activity and enabled the construction of a ratiometric fluorescence sensing system in combination with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) for detecting trace Cu 2+ with a limit of detection of 16 nM and a linear range of 0.02–50 μM. Trace Cu 2+ was successfully quantified in real water samples. The doping of Ce also increased the photocatalytic capability of the MOFs by about 2 times, achieving excellent reduction of Cr(Ⅵ) under natural light conditions.

Doping Gd2LuAl5O12:Ce with a Ca2+/Si4+ pair produced a series of Gd1.97−xLuCaxAl5−xSixO12:0.03Ce (x = 0.0–1.2) garnet new phosphors, and remarkable regulation of the crystal structure and Ce3+ luminescence was achieved. Rietveld refinement and spectral analysis revealed that greater incorporation of Ca2+/Si4+ led to a higher lattice rigidity by cell contraction, a narrower bandgap, a longer average bond length/less distortion of the [CeO8] dodecahedron and decreased centroid shift/crystal field splitting of the Ce3+ 5d energy level. A blue-shifted 4f–5d1 transition, a narrower emission band, improved thermal stability of luminescence and a shorter fluorescence lifetime were observed with increasing Ca2+/Si4+ content. Applying the yellowish-green-emitting Gd0.77LuCa1.2Al3.8Si1.2O12:0.03Ce optimal phosphor (x = 1.2), together with a commercial CaAlSiN3:Eu red phosphor, in 450 nm-excited LED lighting produced a low CCT of ∼3625 K and a high CRI/R9 of ∼95.2/94.8, indicating that the phosphor has application potential in high-performance w-WLED.

Efficient and selective removal of fluoride from water remains a critical challenge in environmental remediation. In this work, we report a thermally modulated strategy to enhance the electrosorption performance of cerium-based metal–organic frameworks (UiO-66(Ce)) for fluoride removal. Rather than complete carbonization, controlled partial carbonization at 400 °C was found to be optimal, inducing the in situ formation of well-dispersed CeO2 nanoparticles and the development of interconnected mesoporous channels. The evolution of the pore structure with different thermal treatment temperatures was comprehensively characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption analysis and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). This approach effectively balances electrical conductivity and active site availability, leveraging a nanoconfinement effect that restricts CeO2 aggregation, preserves active sites, and facilitates efficient ion transport. The optimized UiO-66(Ce)-400 °C material exhibits a high electrosorption capacity of 73.7 mg·g–1, rapid kinetics, and strong fluoride selectivity in the presence of competing anions. Finite element simulations and electrochemical analyses confirm that the synergy between enhanced mesoporosity, conductivity, and active site accessibility drives superior performance. Furthermore, the electrode demonstrates excellent regeneration and stability over five cycles. This study presents a versatile and scalable approach for engineering MOF-derived materials, offering valuable insights into the design of next-generation electrosorption systems for water treatment.
