Selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with methane (CH 4 -SCR) has emerged as a promising technology for mitigating exhaust emissions from natural gas vehicles, while its insufficient catalytic activity and durability are key barriers to application. In this study, novel Ce/In-CHA OXZEO catalysts were prepared, demonstrating exceptional catalytic performance and stability in the CH 4 -SCR reaction. Over these OXZEO catalysts, indium species predominantly existed in the form of InO + and In x O y within the CHA zeolite framework, while CeO 2 nanoparticles primarily resided as an external layer. During the CH 4 -SCR reaction, NO oxidation to form NO 2 and nitrate species was triggered by CeO 2 , which further enhanced the activation of CH 4 on InO + sites, thus boosting the low-temperature CH 4 -SCR process by facilitating the formation of the key intermediate CH 3 NO 2 . The synergy between InO + and CeO 2 underscores the exceptional performance and stability of the Ce/In-CHA with a low SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio in reducing NO x and CH 4 emissions.

Element doping strategies are commonly employed to achieve effective photocatalysts. In this work, a novel form of P and Ce co-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets was synthesized using a one-step thermal polymerization technique, exhibiting remarkable efficiency in the degradation of organic pollutants under visible light. The prepared catalysts underwent comprehensive characterization through XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, BET, XPS, UV–vis, PL, and electrochemical testing. The electronic and optical properties of the catalysts were further elucidated using first-principles density functional theory (DFT). In the photocatalytic experiment of degrading Rhodamine B (RhB), the photocatalytic ability of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets was improved at different degrees, among which g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets co-doped with P and Ce showed the highest photocatalytic activity, with a degradation efficiency of 90.58 % for RhB. Furthermore, the photocatalytic mechanism was confirmed through free radical capture experiments. This study presents a novel approach for the development of efficient photocatalysts to remove pollutants.

Herein, a highly efficient As(III) purifier Ce-Mn@N201 with excellent reusability was developed by stepwise precipitating hydrated cerium(IV) oxides (HCO) and hydrated manganese(IV) oxides (HMO) inside N201, a widely-used gel-type anion exchange resin . Owing to confinement of unique nanopores in N201, the in-situ generated nanoparticles (NPs) inside Ce-Mn@N201 were highly dispersed with ultra-small sizes of around 2.6 nm. Results demonstrated that HMO NPs effectively oxidized As(III) to As(V) with the conversion of Mn(IV) to Mn(II), while the generated Mn 2+ was mostly re-adsorbed onto the negatively-charged surface of HMO NPs. During the regeneration process by simple alkaline treatment , the re-adsorbed Mn 2+ was firstly precipitated as (hydr)oxides of Mn(II) and then oxidized to HMO NPs by dissolved oxygen to fully refresh its oxidation capacity. Though HCO NPs mainly served as adsorbent for arsenic, they could partially oxidize As(III) to As(V) at the beginning, while the oxidation capacities continuously diminished with the irreversible conversion of Ce(IV) to Ce(III). In 10 consecutive adsorption-regeneration cycle, Ce-Mn@N201 efficiently decontaminated As(III) from 500 μg/L to below 5 μg/L with Mn 2+ leaching less than 0.3% per batch. During 3 cyclic fixed-bed adsorptions, Ce-Mn@N201 steadily produced 8500–9150 bed volume (BV) and 3150–3350 BV drinkable water from the synthesized and real groundwater, respectively, with Mn leaching in effluent constantly < 100 μg/L.

In this work, surface-modified Ce-Zr oxides and ZnO nanoparticles were conveniently prepared by dopamine (Dpa) treatment and then composited with epoxy (EP) by hot pressing. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and UV-shielding properties of the EP composites with surface modification with Dpa-CZ and Dpa-ZnO were measured. The TGA results showed that the modified treated fillers had no loss of heat resistance of the matrix and had an enhancement effect on the initial and maximum decomposition temperatures. In addition, the UV-shielding properties of EP composites after Dpa-CZ and Dpa-ZnO modifications both showed a significant enhancement effect compared to pure EP. The T(UVA) of the 0.5 wt% Dpa-ZnO modified composite decreased to less than 0.017%, and the T(UVB) decreased to less than 0.0059%. The T(UVA) of the 0.5 wt% Dpa-CZ modified composite decreased to less than 15.98%, and the T(UVB) decreased to below 1.14%. The composites have both excellent thermal stability and UV-shielding efficiency.

Tetracycline (TC) as a broad-spectrum antibiotic, is widely used in the prevention and treatment of various bacterial diseases. However, its abuse in the livestock industry may lead to interference in human microecology, thereby causing various side effects. In this study, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were synthesized using L-(–)-threonine (L-(–)-Thr) and cerium nitrate hexahydrate (Ce(NO3)3·6H2O), and later lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate (La(NO3)3·6H2O) was doped to synthesize La–Ce hybrid nanorods. These nanorods can be used for the determination of TC with high sensitivity and selectivity by the colorimetric method. This approach has a linear response to TC between 0.05 μM and 10 μM, with a detection limit of 0.016 μM. In this system, good dispersion provides the substance with a distinct peroxidase activity, which is used to create a colorimetric sensor for detecting TC. Mechanism studies show that the superoxide radical generated by the La–Ce nanomembrane plays a key role in peroxidase catalysis. Finally, the practicality of the method was verified by the determination of TC in food products (milk, pork and honey), which demonstrated that a good recovery rate can be obtained (91.4–102%).

The fabrication of advanced electrocatalysts for urea-assisted electrolytic water splitting is of great significance for yielding green hydrogen. In this study, Ce doping a quaternary sea urchin like medium-entropy NiCoFe layered double hydroxide (Ce 1.2 -NiCoFe-LDH) nanoshe et s were obtained by employing a doping engineering strategy. Characterization experimental results confirmed that Ce dopants could modify the oxygen vacancy structure of NiCoFe-LDH, accelerating charge and mass transfer. thereby enhancing the urea decomposition. The electrochemical results indicated that Ce 1.2 -NiCoFe-LDH demonstrated high-efficiency catalysis for UOR, characterized by high intrinsic activity, rapid kinetics, and robust durability. The overpotential of Ce 1.2 -NiCoFe-LDH was only 48 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 , much lower than the commercial IrO 2 (126 mV at 10 mA cm −2 ). The tafel slope of Ce 1.2 -NiCoFe-LDH (62 mV dec −1 ) was also better than those of IrO 2 (88 mV dec −1 ) and NiCoFe-LDH (99 mV dec −1 ). Compared with the commercial IrO 2 , the Ce 1.2 -NiCoFe-LDH exhibited a change of only 3.2 % after a 12-hour chronoamperometric test, indicating an improvement in stability. Impedance comparison between the two hydrotalcites revealed that Ce 1.2 -NiCoFe-LDH possessed lower impedance, potentially enhancing catalytic efficiency. Therefore, this work illustrates that the modulation of oxygen vacancies in electrocatalysts, induced by the heteroatom doping effect, can enhance the electrocatalytic oxidation performance of small molecules for hydrogen production.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely recognized as precursors or sacrificial templates for the synthesis of target catalysts on account of their high porosity and high active surface area . Elemental doping strategy is considered as an effective method for the synthesis of efficient and stable catalysts for electrolytic water. Therefore, in this paper, Ce-doped Ni(OH) 2 nanoparticles and Ni-MOF nanosheets composites were synthesized by electrodeposition using Ni-MOF as precursor. Catalyst Ce–Ni(OH) 2 @Ni-MOF/NF displays excellent OER performance, requiring only 193 mV and 279 mV overpotentials to realize current densities of 10 mA cm −2 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively, while the UOR performance was very remarkable, only a potential of 1.28 V was demanded to reach a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . In addition, no obvious change in the overpotential was noticed during the stability test of 16 h, indicating good stability of Ce–Ni(OH) 2 @Ni-MOF/NF. This study provides a meaningful reference for the design of an efficient and stable environmental friendly electrocatalyst .

The efficient transformation of furfural (FUR) with aliphatic alcohols to achieve the carbon-chain growth has been developed using a binary Cu-Ce oxide as the catalyst. In the presence of molecular oxygen, the tandem oxidative condensation of FUR with n -propanol is successfully performed, in which an 85.4% conversion of FUR in 95.3% selectivity of 3-(furan-2-yl-)-2-methylacryaldehyde was obtained. The effects of different Cu/Ce ratios and base additives were investigated in detail. As a result, it is found that the CuO-CeO 2 (1: 9) catalyst is optimal and potassium carbonate is a suitable additive. Next, the recycling of CuO-CeO 2 catalyst was tested and there is no obvious activity loss after being reused five times. Moreover, the oxidative condensation of FUR with various aliphatic alcohols including ethanol, isopropanol, n -butanol and n -hexanol was studied where the long chain alcoholic molecule hinders the proceeding of reaction. Finally, based on the experimental results and reaction phenomena, a possible mechanism for the oxidative condensation of FUR with n -propanol-O 2 is proposed.

Manganese oxide (MnO x ) catalysts are promising for low-temperature NH 3 -Selective Catalytic Reduction (NH 3 -SCR) with their superior catalytic performance. However, the presence of alkali metals in flue gases, particularly potassium (K), leads to catalyst deactivation and limits their industrial application. This study investigates the synergistic effects of Ce and Nb doping on the K resistance and low-temperature NH 3 -SCR activity of MnO x . The surface acidity and redox properties of MnO x were modulated by Ce and Nb modification. In addition, the phase structure, surface state and active sites of the catalysts were characterized before and after K poisoning. The results indicated that Nb 0.05 Ce 0.05 MnO x exhibited exceptional low-temperature performance, achieving over 90 % NO conversion at 125-250°C, along with significant resistance to K poisoning·NH 3 -TPD and in-situ experiments revealed that the loss of acid sites is the primary cause of K poisoning. The mechanism follows the L-H mechanism with L-acid sites as the main active sites on the catalyst surface and bridging nitrate as the key intermediate state. This research provides valuable insights into enhancing the industrial applicability of MnO x- based catalysts for low-temperature denitrification.

The detrimental effects of ultraviolet (UV) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation on human health and physiological functions are well documented. The development of efficient shielding materials to mitigate these effects is therefore an urgent necessity. In this study, Zn/Ti-LDH@Ce/Fe-MOF@PPy composites were successfully prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and interfacial polymerisation. The properties of the composites were compared and analysed with those of pure Zn/Ti-LDH and Ce/Fe-MOF, and the results show that the prepared materials have excellent comprehensive properties, with a broad EAB of 5.2 GHz and a RL min of −46.2 dB at 14.8 GHz at the thickness of 3 mm, while exhibiting excellent UV shielding capability.The present study offers novel concepts and efficacious methodologies for the engineering of high-performance microwave absorbing and UV shielding materials.

The one-step preparation of methacrylic acid from isobutylene presents a significant challenge. In this study, three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) Mo-V-P-Ce was synthesized using the hard template method and employed as a carrier for heteropolyacids in the selective oxidation of isobutene (IBN) to produce methacrylic acid (MAA). The CuNH 4 PAV@3DOM Mo-V-P-Ce catalyst developed through this method exhibits an ordered macroporous structure, which significantly enhances its thermal stability. Additionally, it contains a significant number of active species (VO 2 + ) and appropriate moderately strong acidic centers, which collectively improve the overall performance of the catalyst. The combination of CuNH 4 PAV with the 3DOM structure increases the surface concentration of oxygen vacancy species, thereby promoting the catalytic activity of the composite catalyst in converting these oxygen vacancy species into lattice oxygen species. Notably, the selectivity of the synthesized heteropolyacid catalysts for MAA increased to 84 % after loading. This work offers a novel approach to the development of efficient catalysts.

Two-dimensional (2D) metal–organic framework nanosheets (MONs) materials exhibit significant potential in achieving high CO 2 separation performance. This study presents a demonstration of the rapid synthesis of Ce 6 BTB nanosheets at a low temperature of 80 °C and atmosphere pressure of approximately 1 atm. The resulting Ce 6 BTB nanosheets possess notable characteristics, such as high aspect ratios and 1D diamond shaped channels, which facilitate the fast rapid transport of CO 2 molecules. The Ce 6 BTB was firstly blended into PIM-1 with different loadings to form PIM/Ce 6 BTB mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The incorporation of well-dispersed Ce 6 BTB fillers enhances the efficiency of CO 2 transport by inter-flake nano-channels and intra-flake pores. Moreover, the increased crystallinity, dense chain spacing, and hydrogen bonding contribute to enhanced sieving ability, resulting in high gas selectivity. Consequently, the MMMs containing 2 wt% Ce 6 BTB demonstrate high CO 2 permeability of 5930 Barrer and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 23.2, which is far surpasses 2008 upper bound from Robeson and approaches the refined 2019 upper bound from MeKenow. Furthermore, the PIM/Ce 6 BTB-2 MMMs present relatively good anti-pressure properties and long-term operation stability, which is advantageous in terms of industrial applications.
