Cerium oxides loaded silica catalysts were synthesized by an impregnation method by simply mixing Ce precursor with silica spherule (Ce/SS) and ordered MCM-41 zeolites (Ce/MCM-41), followed by a mild calcination. Compared with pure SS and MCM-41, Ce modified Ce/SS and Ce/MCM-41 demonstrate much improved catalytic ozonation activities for mineralization of recalcitrant nitrobenzene (NB). At solution pH of 6, 86 and 97% TOC mineralization rates were achieved within 60 min for Ce/MCM-41 and Ce/SS, respectively. Characterization results suggest that Ce loading significantly increases the surface Lewis acidic sites, which would synergize with Ce3+/Ce4+ redox cycle for the activity improvement. With the aid of in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra and quenching tests, hydroxyl radical (·OH), superoxide radical (O2•–), and singlet oxygen (1O2) are identified as the O3 catalytic decomposition products, while ·OH mainly accounts for NB mineralization. The detailed degradation route of NB was further investigated by the multi-chromatography analysis. NB is firstly oxidized into polyhydroxy compounds, followed by small molecular organic acids, and finally being mineralized into CO2 and H2O. This study established a facile strategy to synthesize highly active and stable Ce/SiO2 catalysts for catalytic ozonation, and elucidated the in-depth mechanisms for the activity origins of the Ce loaded silica-based materials in catalytic ozonation processes (COP).

The excellent electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted a lot of attention. In this work, zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) was synthesized hydrothermally using 2-methylimidazole (2-mIm) as the organic ligand, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O) as the cobalt source and methanol (MeOH) as the organic solvent . The ZIF-67 was etched with cerium nitrate hexahydrate (Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O), leading to rhombic dodecahedron Ce–Co/C composites with porous hollow structure after thermal annealing. In addition, the effect of the content of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O on EMW absorption performance of the Ce–Co/C composites was studied. Specifically, the sample Ce–Co/C-2 (Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O): (ZIF-67 = 1:2) showed optimal EMW performance. For the Ce–Co/C-2 based composite with a filling ratio of 45 wt%, a RL min reached −64.67 dB at 11.12 GHz with a thickness of 2.21 mm. The promising EMW absorption performance of the porous hollow structure was attributed to its large specific surface area and massive defects, multiple reflection/scattering, improved impedance matching and increased dielectric loss. This work provides a reference improve EMW absorption performance of MOF materials through regulating their microstructures.

In this paper, the SnO 2 and Ce/SnO 2 nanomaterials are synthesized through a simple hydrothermal route and used for detecting NO 2 gas . The SnO 2 materials exhibit a good linearity for NO 2 detection, and the limit of detection is calculated to be as low as about 5 ppb at 10% humidity. The humidity dependence of the gas sensing characteristics of metal oxide semiconductors has been one of the greatest obstacles for gas sensor applications . The NO 2 gas sensing response of SnO 2 and Ce/SnO 2 also are investigated at 50% humidity. The Ce/SnO 2 materials show higher response than pure SnO 2 . The gas sensing mechanism of Ce/SnO 2 material is discussed in detailed. The reach results provide a new way for increasing the anti-humidity of the metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor.

In this study, novel pH-sensitive bimetallic Ce-ZIF-8 nanocontainers are loaded with benzotriazole (BTA) corrosion inhibitors and then decorated with a polydopamine (PDA) shell. The applied PDA layer acts as an acid-responsive gatekeeper, controlling the intelligent release of the encapsulated inhibitors and also preventing their self-leakage. UV–vis and ICP-OES tests indicate that the BTA and cerium inhibitors release slowly in the neutral 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Afterward, the designed pH-responsive Ce-ZIF-8-BTA-PDA nanocontainers are dispersed uniformly in the epoxy matrix as a novel intelligent filler. EIS results demonstrate that the incorporation of Ce-ZIF-8-BTA-PDA nanocontainers significantly improves the corrosion resistance of epoxy coatings, in which the low-frequency impedance is about three orders of magnitude higher than that of the pure epoxy coating after 60 days of immersion. Furthermore, the low-frequency value of the scratched Epoxy-Ce-ZIF-8-BTA-PDA coating increases from 5.05 × 10 5 Ω cm 2 to 8.83 × 10 5 Ω cm 2 after 8 h of exposure to the 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, confirming their outstanding self-healing performance. The excellent corrosion protection and self-healing ability are due to the incorporation of the Ce-ZIF-8-BTA-PDA nanocontainers, improving the surface compactness and therefore enhancing the physical barrier effect. Moreover, the intelligent release of the encapsulated corrosion inhibitors provides active corrosion protection performance by forming a dense protective film on the Al alloy surface when the coating is damaged. Meanwhile, the highly dispersed nanocontainers lengthen the diffusion path of corrosive ions and therefore extend the service life of the epoxy coatings in aggressive environments. This new type of acid-responsive smart coating based on the bimetallic Ce-ZIF-8 nanocontainers has the potential to broaden the future applications of active corrosion protection of metals.

Electrochemical nitrogen reduction powered by renewable electricity is a promising strategy to produce ammonia. However, the lack of efficient yet cheap electrocatalysts remains the biggest challenge. Herein, hybrid Cu 2 O-CeO 2 -C nanorods are prepared on copper mesh through a metal-organic framework template route. The Cu-loaded Ce-MOF is thermally converted to Cu 2 O-CeO 2 heterojunctions with interfacial Cu-[O X ]-Ce structures embedded in carbon. Theoretical calculations reveal the lower formation energy of oxygen vacancies in Cu-[O X ]-Ce structures than in the Cu 2 O or CeO 2 phase. The Cu-[O X ]-Ce structures with oxygen vacancies enable the formation of interfacial electron-rich Cu(I) species which show significantly enhanced performance toward electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction with an NH 3 yield of 6.37 × 10 −3 µg s −1 cm −2 and a Faradaic efficiency of 18.21% in 0.10 m KOH at −0.3 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. This work highlights the importance of modulation of charge distribution of Cu-based electrocatalysts to boost the activity toward nitrogen reduction.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction of Ce and W species with TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 supports, so as to illustrate the influence of supports and distribution of Ce, W species on SCR reaction. It is found that low-temperature activity followed the order of CeW > CeWTi > CeWAl > CeWSi. The reasons for the various activity of the catalyst were investigated by a series of characterization. The low-temperature NH 3 -SCR activity is associated with the surface concentrations of Ce 3+ , oxygen vacancies and active oxygen species, which are dominated by the dispersion and interactions of Ce/W species with the supports. Arising from interactions of Ti 4+ with high-density electron cloud, finely dispersed Ce and W species facilitate the W-Ce synergism and produce more active oxygen. All these contribute toTiO 2 can make Ce and W species in an ideal distribution, so the corresponding catalyst shows excellent NO x conversion of CeWTi catalyst at 200–350 °C. The reaction process observed by in situ DRIFT indicated that the NH 3 -SCR reaction on CeO 2 -WO 3 containing catalysts mainly follow Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism at low temperature. Based on the analysis of the characterization and reaction process, it is concluded that the control step of NH 3 -SCR reaction at low temperature over CeO 2 -WO 3 containing catalysts is the adsorption and activation of NO x .

Rational construction of efficient carbon-supported rare earth cerium nanoclusters as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of great significance to promote the practical application of zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, N doped conductive carbon black anchored CeO 2 nanoclusters (CeO 2 Clusters/NC) for the ORR is reported. The volatile cerium species vaporized by CeO 2 nanoclusters at high temperatures are captured by nitrogen-rich carbon carriers to form highly dispersed Ce-N x active sites. Benefiting from the coupling effect between oxygen vacancies-enriched CeO 2 nanoclusters and highly dispersed Ce-N x sites, the prepared 2CeO 2 Clusters/NC catalyst possesses an ORR half-wave potential of 0.88 V, superior electrochemical stability, and better methanol tolerance compared to commercial Pt/C catalysts. Moreover, the 2CeO 2 Clusters/NC involved liquid ZABs show excellent energy efficiency, superior stability, and a high energy density of 982 Wh kg −1 at 10 mA cm −2 .

The zeolite-based catalyst is a promising option for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) due to its low toxicity. However, the challenge lies in its low-temperature activity. This study developed a multi-component catalytic system consisting of Ce/Mn/Cu-loaded Beta zeolite to reduce NO x . With fixed contents of Cu and Mn, we investigated the NH 3 -SCR process and the mechanism of action of the rare-earth species (i.e., Ce) in the system. Upon optimization of the content of Ce, the Ce/Mn/Cu-loaded Beta zeolite demonstrated enhanced low-temperature activity compared to samples loaded with Cu or Cu/Mn in the temperature range of 150–250 °C. When Ce was loaded in an appropriate proportion, it regulated the oxidation state of Cu, optimizing active adsorption species for NO and strengthening the strength of Brønsted acid sites in the catalyst. These synergetic effects led to improved NH 3 -SCR catalytic performance. This study can contribute to a better understanding of multiple metal-loaded zeolites in the NH 3 -SCR process and inform future design of Beta-type catalysts.

Degradation of refractory organics has been limited by their low mass-transport rates in conventional flow-by operated electrochemical reactors. This study explores for the first time the development of porous titanium (Ti)-based metal oxide anodic membrane for efficient flow-through degradation of recalcitrant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). For this purpose, a duplexed Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 -Ce anodic membrane was successfully prepared by sol-gel and electrodeposition methods. Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 -Ce exhibited improved mechanical and electrochemical stability, larger electrochemical surface area, higher oxygen evolution potential and lower charge transfer resistance, as compared to its mono-layered rival (Ti/SnO 2 -Sb). The switching from flow-by to flow-through operation resulted in an increased mass transfer rate constant and narrowed diffusion layer thickness of Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 -Ce. In the flow-through mode, Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 -Ce enabled the complete TBBPA removal at a relatively low electric energy (0.11 kWh m −3 ). The TBBPA removal was ascribed to the direct anodic oxidation and indirect anodic oxidation incurred by absorbed HO , free HO and 1 O 2 . The intermediate products, which were arisen from the attack of TBBPA by these reactive species, were identified. We further estimated their acute toxicities and bioaccumulation factors. This research proposed a robust electrochemical filtration approach for detoxification of TBBPA-contaminated water.

As an inorganic color conversion material, phosphor-in-glass film (PiF) has received extensive attention in the sphere of laser-driven white lighting due to its excellent integrated performance. The yellow-emitting phosphor La 3 Si 6 N 11 :Ce has excellent thermal stability and wide emission band, which makes it more competitive than Y 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce in laser-driven white lighting. Herein, we embedded La 3 Si 6 N 11 :Ce phosphor powder in a silicate glass matrix (SiO 2 –B 2 O 3 –CaO–Na 2 O) and sintered it on a sapphire substrate. In the silica-rich glass system, the network structure of silica-oxygen tetrahedral glass is more rigid and the thermal erosion of the phosphor by the silica-based glass is less, which makes the phosphor maintain better performance after low-temperature co-sintering. The quantum efficiency in the optimized LSN phosphor-in-glass film (LSN PiF) is up to 81 %, and the thermal conductivity is 10.2 Wm −1 K −1 , showing good thermal stability. Impressively, the LSN PiF produces a bright near-white light (0.3323,0.346) at a blue laser of 5.6 W, with corresponding luminous efficiency up to 195 lm/W. Moreover, LSN PiF can maintain about 80 % of the initial luminous intensity after continuous lighting for 24 h at the incident power of 3.5 W. These outstanding properties can advance the development of LSN phosphors in high power laser lighting applications.

Herein, we used a one-pot method to fabricate a novel MOF-on-MOF adsorbent, namely MOF(Zr)-on-MOF(Ce). The adsorbent demonstrated a high maximum fluoride-ions capture capacity of 164.47 mg g −1 . The morphology, elemental distribution, pore size distribution, and thermal stability were studied using SEM-EDS, XRD , BET, and TGA . The influence of the temperature, solution pH, fluoride concentration, and coexisting ions was explored using intermittent experiments. The results suggested that MOF(Zr)-on-MOF(Ce) had a fast capture rate for fluoride. MOF(Zr)-on-MOF(Ce) maintained an excellent fluoride removal performance over a wide pH range with an initial fluoride concentration of 20 mg L −1 . The optimal effect was obtained at a pH of 4, but a high removal efficiency of 94% was maintained even at a pH of 9. Interference experiments showed that only the PO 4 3– had an adverse inhibition influence. The field experiments demonstrated that MOF(Zr)-on-MOF(Ce) can keep the safety threshold levels of fluoride in drinking water . The Langmuir and pseudo-second order kinetic models were well fitted for the defluoridation process, demonstrating that the adsorption of fluoride ions on MOF(Zr)-on-MOF(Ce) was dominated by monolayer chemisorption . With the further characterization and kinetic thermodynamic studies indicates that the removal mechanism involves ion exchange, electrostatic interactions and complexation effect.

Efficient separation of rare earth elements (REEs) from leaching tailings is necessary for environmental protection and full utilization of resources. Cell walls are rich in various active groups that can efficiently adsorb REEs. In this work, a series of composite aerogels based on pectin and cellulose (the key active components in cell walls) were fabricated for effective adsorption of Ce (III) from leaching tailings. Physical and chemical properties of composite aerogels were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), contact angle measuring, and a zeta potentiometer. Adsorption capacity was measured under different conditions. Adsorption corresponded to the Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacity of Ce (III) was 337.36 mg/g. Kinetic fitting showed that the adsorption process corresponds to the second-order kinetic model. Composite aerogels have excellent regeneration performance. The adsorption process occurred by electrostatic interaction, ion exchange with –COO − , and chelation with C-NH 2 . Adsorption in a sample of leaching tailings showed that the adsorption efficiency of composite aerogels for Ce (III) and Eu (III) reached 68% and 81%, respectively, demonstrating good practicability.
