Reducing the size of active species is a powerful means to improve the utilization rate of active metals and enhance the properties of bimetallic nanozymes. In this work, Fe was introduced into Ce-MOF through the coordination of Fe 3+ and organic ligands, and the coordination effect resulted in atomically dispersed Fe in the derived Fe/CeO 2 nanozyme. Due to the atomically dispersed Fe embedded in the lattice of CeO 2 , a large number of defect sites were generated, endowing the nanozyme with excellent peroxidase (POD)-like activity. The constructed total antioxidant capacity (TAC) sensor based on the POD-like activity of Fe 1.01 /CeO 2 nanozyme displayed a very wide linear concentration range for AA, Cys, Glu and Trolox. More importantly, this TAC sensor can be applied to the TAC detection in vitamin C tablets and beverages. This work provides theoretical guidance for the synthesis of high-performance bimetallic nanozymes for TAC detection.

In this study, an advanced oxidation process with E/Ce(IV) synergistic PMS (E/Ce(IV)/PMS) was established for the efficient removal of Reactive Blue 19 (RB19). The catalytic oxidation performance of different coupling systems was examined and the synergistic effect of E/Ce(IV) with PMS in the system was substantiated. The oxidative removal of RB19 in E/Ce(IV)/PMS was excellent, achieving a removal efficiency of 94.47% and a reasonable power consumption (EE/O value was 3.27 kWh·m −3 ). The effect of pH, current density, Ce(IV) concentration, PMS concentration, initial RB19 concentration and water matrix on the removal efficiency of RB19 were explored. Additionally, quenching and EPR experiments showed that the solution contains different radicals such as SO 4 ·− , HO∙ and 1 O 2 , where 1 O 2 and SO 4 ·− played key roles, but HO∙ just acted a weaker role. Ce ion trapping experiment confirmed that Ce(IV) was involved in the reaction process and played a major role (29.91%). RB19 was subject to three possible degradation pathways, and the intermediate products displayed well biochemical properties. To conclude, the degradation mechanism of RB19 was explored and discussed. In the presence of current, E/Ce(IV)/PMS performed a rapid Ce(IV)/Ce(III) cycle, continuously generating strong catalytic oxidation Ce(IV), The reactive radicals derived from the decomposition of PMS, in conjunction with Ce(IV) and direct electro-oxidation, efficiently destroyed the molecular structure of RB19 and showed an efficient removal rate.

The utilization of industrially generated lignin is an important aspect of achieving worldwide carbon neutrality. In this study, Ni/CaO, Ce/CaO and (Ni-Ce)/CaO catalysts were prepared using an impregnation method to improve the production of H 2 -enriched syngas from lignin steam gasification. Results show that the Ni/CaO and Ce/CaO exhibited different effects when applied to steam gasification, the former improved the conversion of solid lignin whereas the latter promoted decomposition of the resulting volatiles. The (Ni-Ce)/CaO catalyst provided a remarkable synergistic effect on production of H 2 -enriched syngas. The mass-based yield of gaseous products and the volume-based proportion of H 2 in these products were respectively 70.8% and 61.1% in the presence of the (Ni-Ce)/CaO catalyst with a Ni-to-Ce molar ratio of 1:0.9. The H 2 yields obtained from this material were found to gradually decrease from 763 to 681 mL/(g lignin) during five repeated uses. This gradual deactivation of the (Ni-Ce)/CaO catalyst was ascribed to both carbon deposition and the formation of CaSO 4 by reactions between sulfur in the lignin ash and the CaO component.

It is important to design and develop catalysts with good water resistance to cope with the toxicity of water vapor on catalyst activity. In this study, we proposed a simple method to improve the water resistance of catalysts for toluene catalytic combustion by preparing a series of Co-Ce composite oxide catalysts via a citrate sol–gel method. Experimental results showed that Co 6 Ce 1 O x exhibited the best catalytic activity (T 50 = 236 ℃; T 90 = 251 ℃) and water resistance among all the catalysts. The crystal structure and surface chemistry of the catalysts were analyzed using a series of correlation characterizations, and the adsorption energies of toluene and water on the catalysts were calculated using density functional theory (DFT). The results showed that the doping of Ce in Co 3 O 4 had not only effectively changed the oxygen distribution state of Co 3 O 4 and increased its oxygen vacancy content, thus greatly enhancing the oxidizing ability of the catalyst, but also suppressed the adsorption of H 2 O on the surface of the catalyst, and significantly enhanced the water resistance of the catalyst. The present work provided a new idea and method for developing efficient and excellent water resistant catalysts for the catalytic oxidation of toluene.

Defect engineering improves the catalytic performance of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) loaded metal nanoparticles (MNPs@MOFs), but there is still a challenge in defining the structure-activity relationships. Herein, the content of linker-missing defects in UiO-66(Ce) was systematically regulated via formic acid as the modulators, and defective UiO-66(Ce) loaded Ni nanoparticles (NPs) were constructed for dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) hydrogenation. The fine regulation of defect engineering and reduction conditions affected the structure properties of UiO-66(Ce) and the electronic metal-support interaction between MOFs and Ni NPs, thereby optimizing the microenvironment and electronic state of Ni NPs. The optimized U(Ce)-40eq with suitable defects, small size and structure stability effectively promoted the production of highly dispersed abundant electron-deficient Ni 0 active sites, enhancing the adsorption and activation of H 2 and C=C bonds, especially accelerating the rate-determining step. Therefore, U(Ce)-40eq loaded 5 wt% Ni NPs achieved DCPD saturated hydrogenation to tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (70 °C, 2 MPa, 90 min), superior to most high-loading Ni-based catalysts. This work reveals the synergistic mechanism of MOFs defect engineering and electronic structure of Ni NPs, providing effective guidance for the precise preparation of highly efficient and stable MNPs@MOFs heterogeneous catalysts.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have been widely used for the antibiotic pollution control. However, it remains a challenge to simple design and synthesis of multifunctional MOFs for sensing and degradation antibiotics. Herein, a multifunctional UiO-66(Zr/Ce)-NH 2 ratiometric fluorescence sensing and photocatalytic degradation platform was rapidly and simply constructed at room temperature by a one-pot method using a dielectric barrier discharge device. The mixed-metal centers and mixed-ligands of this platform enabled effective ratiometric fluorescence sensing of tetracycline (TC), along with a visual fluorescence shift from blue to yellow-green color. The platform demonstrated a detection of TC ranged from 200 nM to 15 μM, with a detection limit of 43 nM. Moreover, the UiO-66(Zr/Ce)-NH 2 exhibited strong light absorption and efficient photogenerated carrier separation, thus offering excellent degradation performance of TC compared with that of MOFs with single metal center, mixed ligands or mixed metal centers. The mechanism of fluorescence detection and potential charge transfer pathways by the UiO-66(Zr/Ce)-NH 2 were analyzed. This work provided a new approach for the simple design and synthesis of multifunctional MOFs platforms.

Bacterial infections is a serious threat to our health. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a new effective antibacterial agent. In this work, we developed a novel and environmentally friendly Ce–MoS 2 /WO 3 nanocomposite antimicrobial agent with excellent antimicrobial effect and the antimicrobial efficiency against E. coli reached to 97.8% under visible light irradiation. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra showed that the large amounts of superoxide anion radical (•O 2 − ) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) were generated by the nanocomposites under light excitation, which were the main active substances causing oxidative damage for bacteria. Simultaneously, the photothermal curve and peroxidase activity test of Ce–MoS 2 /WO 3 nanocomposites confirmed it has the excellent photothermal effect and enhanced enzyme-like activity, which further assisted in antibacterial effects. Ce doping enlarges the layer spacing of MoS 2 and forms lattice dislocations and distortions, effectively increasing the defect sites at the layer edges, and the coupling of Ce–MoS 2 and WO 3 to construct heterojunctions reduces the charge separation rate, which further improves the photocatalytic antibacterial performance and enzyme-like antibacterial activity of Ce–MoS 2 /WO 3 nanocomposites.

The nanomaterials have been deeply explored as flame retardants for various polymeric materials due to their multifunctionality, but they often fail to significantly increase the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and vertical burning UL-94 rating, thus unable to meet industrial needs (LOI>27.0 % and UL-94 V-0 rating). Herein, we fabricated a cerium/phosphorus-doped g-C 3 N 4 (Ce/P-CN) nanohybrid as a multifunctional high-efficiency fire retardant for acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS). The Ce/P-CN nanoflakes featured a strengthening effect towards ABS, 10 wt% of which increased the tensile strength of ABS/(Ce/P-CN) by 33.8 %. Meanwhile, the ABS/(Ce/P-CN) nanocomposites showed remarkably enhanced high-temperature stability and carbonization performances relative to virgin ABS. Ce/P-CN simultaneously improved the anti-ignition, fire retardancy and smoke suppression of ABS due to the barrier effect of g-C 3 N 4 nanoflakes and the catalytic carbonization effect of cerium and phosphorus. Notably, adding 10 wt% Ce/P-CN increased the LOI and UL-94 rating of ABS to 28.6 % and V-0, respectively, demonstrating its high flame-retardant efficiency. Thus, the high flame-retardant efficiency and multifunctionality enable Ce/P-CN to outperform previous flame retardants for ABS. This work offers a novel strategy for the development of high-efficiency g-C 3 N 4 nanoflakes, which endow ABS with improved mechanical robustness and fire retardancy and show broad industrial prospects.

In this paper, a sol–gel made Ce–O–P catalyst (referred to as Ce–O–P-SG) was employed for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3, which was directly compared with two other Ce–O–P samples as synthesized via hydrothermal and coprecipitation routes (referred to as Ce–O–P-HT and Ce–O–P-CP, respectively). Experimental results revealed that the Ce–O–P-SG catalyst yielded a more than 90% NO conversion at 200 °C in the presence of 10 vol % H2O, whereas Ce–O–P-HT and Ce–O–P-CP catalysts only showed 50% and 20% NO conversions under the same conditions, respectively. After subjected to a series of characterization technologies (e.g., XRD, BET-BJH, XPS, NH3-TPD, py-IR, and H2-TPR), it was found that more enriched surface Ce(4+) species were formed except for the two main CePO4 phases (monazite and rhabdophane phases) of the Ce–O–P-SG catalyst compared to the other two samples, resulting in the increase of surficial active oxygen ions content. This could lead to an enhancement in surface acidity and redox capacity of the Ce–O–P-SG catalyst, effectively promoting the NH3–SCR activity of the catalyst. Further analyses on SO2 and H2O tolerance revealed that the Ce–O–P-SG possessed a higher sulfur resistance than the other two samples, which could be attributed to the SO2 trapping effect by the abundant active oxygen species over Ce–O–P-SG catalyst.

Using cellulose to produce high-quality oxygenated fuels or chemicals is becoming an important way to replace chemical synthesis technology. In this work, the Ce–Co–Na ternary composite metal catalyst is synthesized and used for catalytic cracking of cellulose to prepare the ketone-rich bio-oil production. To construct an environment-friendly process, CO 2 is used as a pyrolysis reaction atmosphere to improve the enrichment of ketones. Strong synergistic effects among metal components effectively promote the thermal-cracking of cellulose to produce primary products (anhydrosugars), and further convert to oxygenates due to the excellent oxygen transferability of the catalyst. The introduction of CO 2 enhances the selectivity of ketones in the liquid product, especially 2,3-dimethyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one. The highest content of ketones in the liquid is 22.73%, which is about four times higher than that of the blank sample. In addition, the generation of CO in the syngas is promoted. This study provides an alternative way for the pyrolysis of biomass to prepare ketone platform compounds and syngas production .

A heterostructured MIL-101(Fe)/Ce/g-C 3 N 4 (MCCN) composite was designed and synthesized by solvothermal method . The composite was characterized by XRD , SEM, EDS , FT-IR, BET, XPS , UV–Vis DRS , PL and EIS. The MCCN photocatalyst exhibits superior photocatalytic performance for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB), and the efficiencies are found to be 90.36% and 88.17%, respectively. The kinetic constants k of MCCN-3 against RhB and MB dyes are 0.04094 min −1 and 0.03319 min −1 , respectively, under visible light for 75 min irradiation. The improved degradation efficiency of MCCN attributed to the enhanced light absorption and the transport channels of electron-hole pairs by forming a heterojunction between MIL-101(Fe) and Ce/g-C 3 N 4 with a favourable band position. Moreover, the possible mechanism of photocatalytic degradation of dyes was proposed though free radical trapping experiments. This work provides an effective way for constructing novel visible-light-driven photocatalyst in the removal of organic molecules from waste water .

The cerium (Ce)-based UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks were employed for the first time as an effective catalyst for both oxidation and reduction. On one hand, selenium (Se)(VI) was efficiently photo-reduced to volatile species derived from the low lying of Ce 4f orbital and efficient generation of photo-electrons through the frameworks of UiO-66(Ce); on the other hand, the chromogenic substrate, 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzydine (TMB), was oxidized based on the oxidase-like behavior of UiO-66(Ce) derived from the Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ spontaneous redox couple. The photo-reduced Se(VI) was determined by atomic fluorescence spectrometry , with a linear range of 5.0–200.0 μg/L − 1 , correlation coefficient of 0.998, and detection limit of 1.5 ng/mL − 1 obtained. The colorimetric sensing of mercury (Hg)(II) was accomplished based on the inhibition of TMB oxidation via Hg (II)-TMB interaction, with two linear ranges of 0.1–2.0 μM and 2.25–4.1 μM obtained, and a correlation coefficient of 0.993 and 0.995 obtained, respectively. The catalytic activity of UiO-66(Ce) was demonstrated to be satisfactory for both oxidation and reduction, which further explored the application of UiO-66(Ce) in the field of catalysis.
