Due to restrictive linear relationship between intermediates in adsorption evolution mechanism (AEM) of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a higher overpotential must be overcome for conversion of *O to *OOH. Activating lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) can address the AEM’s challenges by facilitating O-O coupling. However, via LOM pathway, extracting electrons from metal-oxygen (M−O) bonds usually results in structural instability. Herein, we propose an effective method to stabilize LOM-catalysts by combining cerium dioxide with cobalt phosphide (CeO 2 /CoP heterostructure). CeO 2 acts as an electron buffer to retain/provide electrons at different stages, while CoP with strong Co-P covalency enhances structural/catalytic stability in strongly-alkaline conditions. CeO 2 /CoP exhibits an OER overpotential of only 225 mV at 10 mA cm −2 . Initially, CeO 2 acquires electrons from CoP to accelerate surface reconstruction and form high-valence Co δ+ (CoOOH). Then, CoOOH acquires electrons from the 4 f -orbital of Ce through the Ce-O-Co interface, rather than from the M−O bond, thus ensuring OER stability. For water splitting, bifunctional CeO 2 /CoP-assembled electrolyzer requires a cell-voltage of only 1.54 V to achieve 10 mA cm −2 and retains 89.5 % of its activity after 72 h of cycling. It highlights that leveraging electron-buffering metal species can enhance the LOM stability, thereby enabling its application in bifunctional electrocatalysis.

Electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMFOR) to generate high-value chemicals under mild conditions acts as an energy-saving and sustainable strategy. However, it is still challenging to develop electrocatalysts with high efficiency and good durability. Here, nickel foam (NF) supported CoCrCe(7.5%)-LDH (layered double hydroxides) by doping Ce into CoCr-LDH show high 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) conversion (99%), 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) yield (99%), and Faraday efficiency (100%) at 1.4 V RHE . The CoCrCe(7.5%)-LDH also exhibits remarkable stability with 97% conversion of HMF after 10 cycles. The X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) and theoretical calculation show that Ce doping into CoCr-LDH is beneficial to the formation of high-valance Co and significantly facilitates the electron transfer, regulates the adsorption behavior of intermediates, reduces the Gibbs free energy barrier and accelerates the reaction rate. This work promotes the use of rare earth elements as electrocatalysts to promote the oxidation of HMF.

Inspired by natural enzymes, artificial enzymes have garnered significant interest due to their simplicity of production, robustness under harsh conditions, and enhanced stability. This study introduces, for the first time, a novel Z/Ce@hemin composite enzyme, constructed by anchoring hemin onto zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)-encapsulated ceria (CeO 2 ) nanoparticles. This innovative design overcomes the challenges of hemin dimerization, enhances substrate affinity, and accelerates mass transport, leading to significantly improved peroxidase-like activity. The enzyme also demonstrates remarkable stability and resistance to environmental interference. Utilizing this Z/Ce@hemin composite, a sensitive and selective colorimetric detection system was developed for rapid and accurate quantification of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), a key oxidative stress marker. This approach was successfully applied in cellular models and Caenorhabditis elegans models of Parkinson’s disease, enabling precise monitoring of H 2 O 2 . The study provides a groundbreaking platform for oxidative stress modeling and expands possibilities in neurodegenerative disease research and therapeutic screening.

The peroxone (O 3 /H 2 O 2 ) process has long suffered from inefficient performance for water decontamination at acidic pHs. Herein, we find the evident capability of trace Ce(III) to boost the acidic peroxone process. In contrast to the negligible degradation (∼6% in 60 min) of oxalic acid (OA) as a recalcitrant compound in the O 3 /H 2 O 2 system, efficient removal of OA (∼95 %) was achieved by introducing trace Ce(III) (0.30 µM). OA was identified as an effective ligand activating Ce(III) by forming the Ce(III)-OA complex, which served as the catalytic active component to accelerate the decomposition of O 3 and H 2 O 2 to produce •OH and promote the co-degradation of refractory pollutant atrazine and ibuprofen. The remarkable catalytic activity of trace Ce(III) for peroxone reaction resulted from the efficient interconversion of Ce(III/IV) relying on both the favorable electron transfer from the ternary Ce(III)-OA-hydroperoxo complex to O 3 and the rapid reduction of Ce(IV) back to Ce(III) mainly by H 2 O 2 . Furthermore, the catalytic performance of Ce(III) for peroxone process outperformed Fe(II), Cu(II), and Co(II). This study puts forward an effective method to extrapolate the applicability of the peroxone (O 3 /H 2 O 2 ) process to the acidic range and enlightens the development of Ce-catalyzed peroxone processes.

The excessive use of tetracyclines (TCs) poses a significant threat to human health, necessitating the development of convenient, rapid, and intelligent detection methods for monitoring TCs residues in food products. In this work, we present a heterogeneous-structured Eu/Ce-MOFs ratiometric fluorescence sensor. This sensor demonstrates excellent stability and high accuracy for TCs detection, with detection limits of 73.0 nmol/L for tetracycline (TC), 51.7 nmol/L for oxytetracycline (OTC), and 54.9 nmol/L for doxycycline hydrochloride (DOX). The Eu/Ce-MOFs ratiometric fluorescence sensor successfully quantified to TC, OTC, and DOX in pork and milk samples and achieved satisfactory recoveries ranging from 89.3% to 112.9%. Furthermore, a hydrogel-based visual sensing platform integrated with machine learning algorithms has been developed, significantly enhancing the detection accuracy of TC, OTC, and DOX. By combining smartphone imaging with machine learning algorithms, this visual sensing platform provides a dependable approach for TCs analysis.

The excessive use of ofloxacin (OFL) leads to residues in animal-derived foods and poses a threat to human health. Therefore, it is crucial to design a sensitive and reliable detection platform for ofloxacin. In this study, we established a multi-mode sensing platform based on manganese and cerium-doped oxidase-like active carbon dots (Mn, Ce-CDs) for the detection of OFL. The yellow fluorescent substance 2,3-diaminophenothiazine (DAP), produced by the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD), is used as a colorimetric signal while quenching the fluorescence of Mn, Ce-CDs via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Furthermore, the OPD polymer nanoparticles formed by DAP self-aggregation also have excellent photothermal effect. The developed colorimetric/fluorescence/photothermal multi-mode biosensor showed a wide detection range (10 −7 -10 −2 mg/mL) and low detection limit (colorimetric: 2.55 ×10 −9 mg/mL, ratiometric fluorescence: 19.1 ×10 −9 mg/mL, photothermal: 58.6 ×10 −9 mg/mL) in the quantitative detection of OFL. It could be applied to the detection of actual samples with satisfactory results.

This study compared the coagulation performance, floc characteristics, and algal cell integrity between cerium-based coagulants and polyaluminum chloride (PAC). Under optimal dosage (6 mg Ce/L), both CAN (Ce(IV)-based) and CCl (Ce(III)-based) exhibited comparable algal removal efficiency to PAC (>90 %), while generating larger flocs (>1200 µm) that settled rapidly (90 % within 5 min). However, CAN caused significant algal cell lysis during floc aging, whereas CCl exhibited minimal cell damage. Analysis of CCl flocs revealed a distinct increase in the Ce(IV) concentration post-coagulation, accompanied by pronounced phosphate and carboxyl peaks on the floc surface. Further investigation into the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) during algal coagulation proved that the coagulation mechanism of CCl proceeded in two steps: 1) Anchoring of the coagulant onto the algal surface via strong adsorption of phosphate and carboxyl groups; 2) Synergistic interactions between algae and EPS, which induced partial oxidation of Ce(III) to Ce(IV), triggering in-situ hydrolysis of Ce(IV). This process generated large floc structures and the subsequent coagulation targeted to algae. This study highlights CCl as an eco-friendly and effective alternative with high algal removal and low toxicity (attributed to reduced Ce(IV) dosage), offering practical advantages for water treatment applications.

Rational design of heterojunction is of vital importance for addressing the rapid recombination problem of photogenerated charge carriers in photoreactions. Herein, a highly efficient Z-scheme heterojunction with interfacial Zn-O-Ce bonds was successfully fabricated by hybridizing 3D flower-like hierarchical ZnCo 2 O 4 (ZCO) microspheres with CeO 2 nano particles (NPs) and used to photocatalytic remove multiple pollutants. These features of Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism and chemically bonded interface not only reserved the strong oxidation–reduction ability of CeO 2 /ZCO hybrid but also speeded up electron migration from CeO 2 to ZCO. Meanwhile, the 3D hierarchical structure provided rich photocatalytic reaction sites and increased light harvesting ability. Thus, the as-prepared CeO 2 /ZCO displayed an extraordinary photocatalytic decomposition of Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and Basic Fuchsin (BF), removal rate as high as 87.6 % and 90.7 %, respectively. This work can enlighten a new insight to design versatile hetero-catalysts for solar energy conversion.

We report a hydrothermal engineering strategy to synergistically regulate structural barriers, oxygen vacancy-driven redox cycling, and surface functionalization in Ce-NiCo-LDH coatings for ultralong corrosion protection. Vertically aligned LDH nanosheets constructed a tortuous labyrinth barrier to physically impede corrosive species penetration. Oxygen vacancies acted as electron reservoirs to drive Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ redox cycling, enabling dynamic passivation repair via preferential Ce 4+ → Ce 3+ reduction at vacancy sites. Surface functionalization further enhanced protection through two independent pathways: CTAB induced interlocked fibrous nanostructures for mechanical reinforcement, while PFDT grafting formed a fluorine-rich hydrophobic barrier through C-F dipole interactions. EIS characterization demonstrated a 3.6-fold enhancement in charge transfer resistance (Rct = 5.1 × 10 5 Ω·cm 2 ) for the sequentially hydrothermally processed Ce-NiCo-LDHs compared to their single-step counterparts (1.4 × 10 5 Ω·cm 2 ). The CTAB-modified coating achieved 99.0 % inhibition efficiency, while PFDT modification provided long-term hydrophobicity. This triple-scale synergy-structural obstruction, redox-mediated self-healing, and surface engineering-provides a universal framework for designing advanced protective coatings.

The rational design of solid-solution-oxide heterostructure presents a promising pathway to synergize band structure engineering and interfacial charge dynamics in advanced photocatalysis. Herein, a novel S-scheme CeZnO/ZnO heterojunction was fabricated through solid-solution lattice engineering, where Ce-O-Zn covalent bonding networks are strategically constructed at phase boundaries via controlled exceedance of the Ce solubility limit in ZnO matrix. Coupled with Ag nanoparticle-induced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), this hierarchical system achieves remarkable visible-light-driven tetracycline (TC) degradation (90.4 % within 60 min). The outstanding degradation performance can be attributed to the formation of a built-in electric field at the Ce-O-Zn interface, the presence of oxygen vacancies, and the synergistic catalytic effect of Ag nanoparticles. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental characterizations further reveal that the CeZnO/ZnO heterojunction facilitates S-scheme charge transfer via Ce-O-Zn bonds, improving charge transfer and separation efficiency while preserving the strong redox capability of photo-generated charge carriers. This study provides valuable insights into the design of high-performance heterojunction photocatalysts and carries significant implications for the development of photocatalysis.

Host-guest catalysts are promising for tailored applications but require innovative synthesis strategies. Herein, we report the first ambient aqueous-phase synthesis of bimetallic Ce/Zr MOF-801, followed by acid post-treatment. Utilizing defect engineering, Ce species are preferentially exposed within the robust Zr-MOF-801 substrate. This structural modification substantially enhances the host–guest catalyst’s oxidative desulfurization (ODS) performance. We systematically investigate synthesis parameters, spatiotemporal yield, and defect characterization, and refines catalytic conditions. Post-acid-treated Ce/Zr-MOF-801-H displays augmented external surface area (189 m 2 g −1 ), and exposed acidic sites while upholding the outstanding intrinsic stability of the Zr-MOF-801 substrate. Under optimal conditions (60 °C, 6 min), Ce/Zr-MOF-801-H completely eliminates dibenzothiophene (1000 ppm S), with a turnover frequency of 39.3 h −1 and catalytic activity of 53.2 mmol g −1 h −1 , far surpassing Zr-UiO-66-H. It maintains a desulfurization rate of 96.6% after five cycles. FTIR spectroscopy, quenching experiments, and ESR spectroscopy reveal that the exposed Ce sites serve dual roles: (1) activating the substrate by reducing the electron density of sulfur atoms and (2) facilitating H 2 O 2 into hydroxyl and superoxide radicals, driving ODS. This strategy not only advances industrial ODS applications but also sheds light on the synthesis of MOF-based host–guest catalysts.
