Asphalt aging seriously decreases the pavement performances and service life of asphalt pavement. Previous studies have indicated that CeO 2 nanoparticles reveal ultraviolet light absorption characteristics. While the function mechanism of CeO 2 nanoparticles to asphalt is still not clear. To further enrich the types of aging-resistant agent and extend the service life of asphalt, the influence of CeO 2 nanoparticles on the aging resistance of asphalt was explored in this paper. The optical characteristics of CeO 2 nanoparticles crystal and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) crystal were analyzed by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. CeO 2 nanoparticles modified asphalt and LDHs-modified asphalt were prepared and phase segregation tests were performed to evaluate the compatibility of modified asphalt. Subsequently, brookfield viscometer and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) were conducted to evaluate the viscosity and rheological properties of virgin asphalt, CeO 2 nanoparticles modified asphalt and LDHs modified asphalt before and after thin film oven test (TFOT), pressure aging vessel (PAV) and ultraviolet (UV) aging. And their functional group characteristics and micromorphology were investigated through fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The results show that CeO 2 nanoparticles mainly absorb ultraviolet light, while LDHs mainly reflects ultraviolet light. The storage stability of CeO 2 nanoparticles modified asphalt is slightly lower than that of LDHs modified asphalt, but the storage stability of the two modified asphalt met the specification requirements. Incorporating CeO 2 nanoparticles to asphalt can augment the viscosity and complex modulus of asphalt and strengthen its anti-aging ability, especially for anti-ultraviolet aging. There is not new absorption peak on the infrared spectrum of CeO 2 nanoparticles modified asphalt binder after the modification, which illustrates that modification of CeO 2 into asphalt is considered to be a physical process. Moreover, LDHs modified asphalt demonstrates superior anti-aging effect than that of CeO 2 nanoparticles modified asphalt. Overall, CeO 2 nanoparticles can also be used as an aging-resistant agent of asphalt.

A porous CeO2was synthesized following the addition of guanidine carbonate to a Ce3+aqueous solution, the subsequent addition of hydrogen peroxide and a final hydrothermal treatment. The optimal experimental parameters for the synthesis of porous CeO2, including the amounts of guanidine carbonate and hydrogen peroxide and the hydrothermal conditions, were determined by taking the adsorption efficiency of acid orange 7 (AO7) dye as the evaluation. A template−free hydrothermal strategy could avoid the use of soft or hard templates and the subsequent tedious procedures of eliminating templates, which aligned with the goals of energy conservation and emission reduction. Moreover, both the guanidine carbonate and hydrogen peroxide used in this work were accessible and eco−friendly raw materials. The porous CeO2possessed rapid adsorption capacities for AO7 dye. When the initial concentration of AO7 was less than 130 mg/L, removal efficiencies greater than 90.0% were obtained, achieving a maximum value of 97.5% at [AO7] = 100 mg/L and [CeO2] = 2.0 g/L in the first 10 min of contact. Moreover, the adsorption–desorption equilibrium between the porous CeO2adsorbent and the AO7 molecule was basically established within the first 30 min. The saturated adsorption amount of AO7 dye was 90.3 mg/g based on a Langmuir linear fitting of the experimental data. Moreover, the porous CeO2could be recycled using a NaOH aqueous solution, and the adsorption efficiency of AO7 dye still remained above 92.5% after five cycles. This study provided an alternative porous adsorbent for the purification of dye wastewater, and a template−free hydrothermal strategy was developed to enable the design of CeO2−based catalysts or catalyst carriers.Keywords:porous CeO2;template−free;adsorption;adsorption efficiency;acid orange 7

A single-pot surfactant-free sol-gel method is reported for the facile and bulk synthesis of ultrafine-nanospherical CeO 2 /TiO 2 composites with different CeO 2 loadings and their photocatalytic-activity for the degradation and mineralization of tetracycline (TC) under visible-light irradiation is investigated for the first time. The incorporation of CeO 2 favored the controlled crystalline growth of TiO 2 in its anatase phase, and their crystallinity and particle size were significantly decreased. The textural and optical properties of TiO 2 were also improved with the incremental addition of CeO 2 by increasing their specific surface-area and visible-light absorption respectively. The optical band gap of TiO 2 decreased to 2.24 eV with the incorporation of 1% CeO 2 and it further decreased to 2.21 eV with the incremental amount of CeO 2 . Due to the formation of heterojunction in the composite, the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs was significantly decreased. A highest TC removal efficiency of ~99% was observed for 4% CeO 2 /TiO 2 composite for a period of 80 min of visible-light irradiation. Moreover, 88.2% TC mineralization efficiency was achieved for a period of 240 min of visible light irradiation. The enhanced catalytic-activity could be attributed to the synergy of high degree of adsorption followed by an enhanced photocatalysis at the heterointerface formed by the adjacent contact between TiO 2 and CeO 2 . The synergistic effects of low-particle size, high surface-area, enhanced visible-light absorption, reduced band-gap, and increased life-time of the photogenerated charge-carriers through the formation of heterointerface contributed to its high photocatalytic activity. The hydroxyl and superoxide-anion radicals played a superior role in the photocatalytic process. Moreover, the composites retained its efficiency for seven-cycles of reaction without any significant-loss in its activity and structural and textural stability.

In this paper, Ce 0.2 Zr 0.8 O 2 composite supports were prepared by different Ce-addition methods including impregnation of cerium (CeZr-imp), impregnation of citric acid and cerium (CeZr-CA) simultaneously and deposition precipitation method (CeZr-DP), respectively. The as-prepared supports were applied to prepare 10 wt% MoO 3 /Ce 0.2 Zr 0.8 O 2 catalysts for sulfur-resistant methanation . The N 2 adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), temperature-programmed reduction by hydrogen (H 2 -TPR) were undertaken to get textural properties, morphological information and structures of the catalysts. The results showed that MoO 3 was highly dispersed on the surface of these three supports and Ce was mostly of coexisted in Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ redox pairs. Compared with Mo/CeZr-imp, the CO conversion increased by 10% and 15% for Mo/CeZr-CA and Mo/CeZr-DP, respectively. This was mainly attributed to the larger specific surface area, Ce 3+ concentration and content of active MoS 2 on the surface of catalysts.

Thiophene-like sulfides present in fuel oil release sulfur oxides (SO x ) during combustion, which pose significant risks for both environmental sustainability and public health. Adsorption desulfurization (ADS) has garnered considerable attention because of its mild operating conditions, low production costs, and minimal impact on the octane number of fuels. Metal-organic frameworks used as desulfurizing adsorbents provide several advantages, including a high specific surface area and easily adjustable structures . Here, we synthesized the micro/mesoporous adsorbent CeO 2 @HP-HKUST-1 (CeO 2 @Hierarchical Porous-Hong Kong University of Science and Technology-1) through the hybridization of salicylic acid (SA) using a solvothermal method. We assessed the adsorption performance of CeO 2 @HP- HKUST-1 _ 1.5 for benzothiophene and thiophene through batch and breakthrough adsorption experiments. The adsorption capacities for thiophene and benzothiophene were measured at 21.2 mg S/g and 35.3 mg S/g, respectively. Remarkably, in competitive toluene experiments, the adsorption capacity for benzothiophene remained significant at 28.9 mg S/g, due to enhanced Ce–S bonding interactions and the exposure of unsaturated metal centers of Cu. Additionally, regeneration experiments demonstrated that CeO 2 @HP-HKUST-1 retained excellent adsorption capacities after four cycles. These findings highlight the potential of CeO 2 @HP-HKUST-1 as an effective adsorbent for desulfurization applications.

In this study, a novel NiCoP–CeO2 composite was constructed on a Ni foam by a simple hydrothermal method and thermal phosphating strategy. In the OER test, NiCoP–CeO2 exhibited a low overpotential of 217 mV at 10 mA cm−2, 45 mV dec−1 of Tafel slopes. With the help of theoretical calculations and experimental characterization, the reason for performance improvement was analyzed in depth. The results show that CeO2 leads to a confinement effect, maintaining the nanosheet morphology of NiCo-LDHs, which contributes to sustaining the catalyst in favourable contact with H2O and minimizing the OER potential. Furthermore, by loading CeO2 onto NiCoP, the hydrophilicity of the catalyst is significantly enhanced. Our work provides an ingenious synthesis strategy for the preparation of efficient and inexpensive electrocatalytic materials.

Construction of multi-interface contact step-scheme (S-scheme) photocatalyst is a promising pathway to achieve high-electron transfer efficiency for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. In this paper, g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets were selected as the main photocatalyst, rod-like CeO 2 (R-CeO 2 ) with unique Ce 4+ →Ce 3+ conversion property and rGO were loaded on the g-C 3 N 4 surface to construct 2D-1D-2D sandwich photocatalyst. The yields of CO and CH 4 were about 63.18 and 32.67 μmol/g after 4 h when the rGO/R-CeO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 was used as catalyst, which were about 4 and 6 times higher than that of pure CN, respectively. Cyclic experiments proved that the composite had excellent photocatalytic and material stability. Photoelectrochemical tests showed that the construction of S-scheme electron transfer model and the introduction of rGO can great enhance the electron transmission and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. CO 2 adsorption test identified that the loading of R-CeO 2 and rGO obviously enhanced the CO 2 adsorption ability of pure g-C 3 N 4 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations used to analyze the electron transfer path and the formation of the build-in electric field at the semiconductor interface. In-situ FTIR and 13 CO 2 element-tracer detection carried out to research the process of CO 2 photoreduction. A possible multi-interface contact S-scheme electron transfer mechanism for enhanced CO 2 photoreduction activity has been discussed.

Strategies for catalytic lignin depolymerization to yield ethylbenzene chemicals are green, sustainable and environmentally friendly methods. In this study, a series of Ni-CeO 2 /H-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared via the precipitation method, which catalytically degraded the β-O-4 chemical bonding structure to yield ethylbenzene chemicals. The 2-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-1-phenylethanol substance (β-O-4) was selected as a typical lignin model compound for the investigation of the intrinsic depolymerization mechanism and the catalytic performance. The results demonstrated that the introduced CeO 2 active phase can effectively promote the catalytic conversion of the β-O-4 chemical bonding structure to ethylbenzene chemicals. Physicochemical data demonstrate that the reaction pathways and hydrogenation selectivity were effectively regulated and controlled by the tuning of the dehydration and hydrogenolysis processes via the introduction of CeO 2 , which realized the selective adjustment of the redox properties and the surface valence states of active species in the catalytic process due to its excellent oxygen transfer performance.

Herein, a series of metal oxide/CeO2 (M/CeO2) nanocomposites derived from Ce-benzene tricarboxylate (Ce-BTC) adsorbing with different metal acetylacetonate complexes were prepared for CO oxidation under four different CO gas atmospheres. It was demonstrated that Cu/CeO2 exhibited the highest catalytic activity and stability in CO oxidation. Remarkably, both O2 selectivity and CO selectivity to CO2 are 100% in most of the investigated conditions. Several analytical tools such as N2 adsorption–desorption and powder X-ray diffraction, were employed to characterize the prepared catalysts. In addition, the excellent catalytic performance of Cu/CeO2 in CO oxidation was revealed by H2 temperature-program reduction experiment, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. The result showed that high oxygen vacancy and high CO adsorption capacity (Cu+–CO) caused by the electron exchanges of Cu2+/Cu+ and Ce3+/Ce4+ pairs (Ce4+ + Cu+ ⇆ Ce3+ + Cu2+) are two key factors contributing to the high oxidation performance of Cu/CeO2 catalyst.

Photo-thermochemical (PTC) reaction produces hydrogen by water splitting through the consumption of surface photoinduced oxygen vacancies (V O s). In this study, CeO 2 and Cu-doped-CeO 2 were synthesized with typical different morphologies of nanorods and nanospheres and different crystallite sizes. These factors, i.e. microstructure, crystalline size and Cu doping were proven to influence the physical properties and photoresponse performance of CeO 2 which affected the generation of surface photoinduced V O s and their reactions of hydrogen production in PTC. Cu-doped CeO 2 nanospheres with smaller crystallite size demonstrated the best catalytic activity with the largest H 2 yield of 18.4 μmol g -1 h −1 . The electron paramagnetic resonance and Ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy analysis showed that the V O s generation of nanospheres was strengthened compared to nanorods when the physical characteristics were similar. The positive correlation between the change in physical properties and yield supports its importance in V O s consumption in the thermochemical process. The smaller crystallite size of the nanospheres exhibited better porous properties and specific surface area, which facilitated thermochemical reaction . The doping significantly reduces the band gap of the sample, enhances the light absorption capacity and significantly increases the H 2 yield of CeO 2 .

The performance of plasma-modified Pt/CeO2for toluene catalytic oxidation was investigated. Pt/CeO2nanorods were prepared by wet impregnation and were modified by thermal (PC-T), plasma (PC-P), and combined (PC-TP and PC-PT) treatments. The modified catalysts were characterized by TEM (transmission electron microscope), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller), H2-TPR, O2-TPD, XPS, UV-Raman, and OSC tests. The significant variation of the surface morphologies and surface oxygen defects could have contributed to the modification of the Pt/CeO2catalysts via the plasma treatment. It was found that plasma could promote the surface interaction between Pt and CeO2, resulting in the thermal stability of the catalyst. The Pt-Ce interaction was also conducive to an increase in the number of oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, PC-PT and PC-TP showed a significant difference in oxygen vacancy concentrations and catalytic activities, which illustrated that the treatment sequence (plasma and thermal treatment) affected the performance of Pt/CeO2. The PC-PT sample showed the highest catalytic activity with T100at 205 °C. This work thus demonstrates that plasma in combined treatment sequences could assist surface interactions of catalysts for enhanced toluene catalytic oxidation.Keywords:non-thermal plasma;Pt/CeO2;oxygen vacancies;treatment Sequence

In this paper, the synthesis of the three-dimensional (3D) composite of spherical reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with uniformly distributed CeO2particles is reported. This synthesis is done via a facile and large-scalable spray-drying process, and the CeO2/RGO materials are hydrothermally compounded with sulfur. The morphology, composition, structure, and electrochemical properties of the 3D S/CeO2/RGO composite are studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), etc. The electrochemical performance of the composites as electrodes for lithium–sulfur batteries is evaluated. The S/CeO2/RGO composites deliver a high initial capacity of 1054 mAh g−1, and retain a reversible capacity of 792 mAh g−1after 200 cycles at 0.1 C. Profiting from the combined effect of CeO2and RGO, the CeO2/RGO materials effectively inhibit the dissolution of polysulfides, and the coating of spherical RGO improves the structural stability as well as conductivity.Keywords:Lithium–sulfur battery;CeO2/RGO composite;electrochemical performance
