In the current study, a series of CeO 2 -doped ( x = 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.025 mol) ceramic samples were prepared, and the valence of Ce in the perovskite was analyzed in detail, revealing the polarization contribution and effect mechanism of the doped Ce element in the 0.65BaTiO 3 –0.35Sr 0.7 Bi 0.2 TiO 3 ceramic. The phase structure and electrical stored energy performance of the resulting ceramics were also characterized. It was found that adding an appropriate amount of CeO 2 to BaTiO 3 was helpful for improving the relaxor behavior, promoting electric storage, and releasing ceramic materials. Particularly, the electric breakdown strength of the 0.02Ce-doped specimen reached 330 kV/cm, and the corresponding density and efficiency were 2.57 J/cm 3 and 81.30%, respectively. In addition, doping with Ce caused the ceramics to exhibit good stability at frequencies of 1–300 Hz and over a temperature range of 30–150 °C. A high current density ( C D ) and power density ( P D ) were obtained in charge–discharge tests.

Notorious bacterial biofilms are becoming severe threats to public health worldwide. As the important component in biofilm extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), extracellular DNA (eDNA) has been manifested to connect different EPS components and bacteria together, leading biofilms hard to eliminate. Herein a series of MOF/Ce-based nanozymes with deoxyribonuclease (DNase) and peroxidase mimetic activities have been designed and synthesized for combating biofilms. The cerium (IV) complexes (DNase mimics) are capable of hydrolyzing eDNA and disrupting established biofilms, while the MOF with peroxidase-like activity can kill bacteria exposed in dispersed biofilms in the presence of H 2 O 2 . This can avoid the recolonization of bacteria and recurrence of biofilms. Given the fact that single-modal antibacterial agent is difficult to drastically eradicate biofilms, the marriage of two kinds of nanozymes is a rational strategy to acquire enhanced performance in combating biofilms. Besides, the utilization of nanozymes circumvents drawbacks of natural enzymes which are costly and vulnerable. Further studies have demonstrated that this kind of artificial enzyme with dual enzyme-mimetic activities can penetrate the biofilms, and inhibit bacterial biofilm formation intensively. Consistently, in vivo anti -biofilm application in treating subcutaneous abscess exhibits commendable wound healing and admirable bactericidal effect . To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to devise an integrated nanozyme based on the peroxidase-like activity of MOF to eliminate biofilms and kill bacteria on site. This work may promote the application of MOF in the antibacterial field.

The treatment of acidic wastewaters from chemical industries is a difficult task for biodegradation methods to deal with due to the high toxicity and acidity of the waters. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are common methods used for treating refractory wastewaters, but traditional Fenton and ozonation processes are inefficient at pH values below 2. The combination of H 2 O 2 -with ozone, termed peroxone reaction, is one potential method to solve this problem because of its high efficiency and ease operation. In this study, a composite comprised of N-doped graphene-CeO 2 (NG-Ce) was synthesized as a heterogeneous catalyst in peroxone reaction for the removal of organic pollutants in acidic solutions. X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the existence of CeO 2 and graphene in the NG-Ce catalyst. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was performed to analyze the chemical compositions and the valence states of the elements on the surface of the catalysts. Experimental results showed that NG-Ce greatly improved the oxidative efficiency of peroxone reaction and broadened its working pH range. Although the efficiency of NG-Ce/H 2 O 2 /O 3 is decreased as the acidity of solution increases, the degradation of pollutants remained efficient at a pH as low as 0.25. Rich Ce (III) sites on the surface of NG-Ce were suggested to be responsible for the high catalytic activity of NG-Ce in peroxone reaction.

Various catalysts were synthesized by the redox-precipitation (RP) and co-precipitation (CP) methods, and their catalytic performances for the complete catalytic oxidation of lean methane combustion were investigated. The synthetic catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, Raman, XPS, TG, UV–vis and H2-TPR. MnCe-RP showed 50% methane conversion to CO 2 at ˜446 °C, which was 23 °C lower the temperature required for MnCe-CP. The active components (K x Mn 8 O 16 ) in the bulk and on the surface of MnCe-RP were confirmed. The redox-precipitation method synthesized open nanorod and nanosphere catalysts containing K x Mn 8 O 16 and Mn 5 O 8 , whereas the co-precipitation method synthesized agglomerate catalysts containing only Mn 5 O 8 . The higher surface-concentrations of Mn 4+ , Ce 3+ and O α on MnCe-RP are beneficial for its higher catalytic performance. Furthermore, the optical bandgap value of MnCe-RP is lower than that of MnCe-CP, and the K ion in K x Mn 8 O 16 may weaken the Mn-O bond, improving the catalyst reducibility, especially for the reduction process of Mn 3 O 4 →MnO.

The present study focused on the preparation, characterization, and application of cerium (Ce) and neodymium (Nd) co-doped lead (PbO 2 ) electrode, i.e., Ti/SnO 2 -Sb 2 O 3 /α-PbO 2 /Ce-Nd-β-PbO 2 . The electrochemical activities of the modified electrode were investigated and compared with those of Ce-PbO 2 , Nd-PbO 2 , and pure PbO 2 electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the surface morphology, crystal structure, and elemental states of the modified electrode. The Ce and Nd co-doped PbO 2 electrode had smaller crystal particles, more compact structure, and higher activity of electrocatalysis compared with the single-doped and undoped PbO 2 electrodes. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were also utilized to study the electrochemical response of the modified electrodes. The results show that the prepared Ce-Nd-PbO 2 electrode has the highest O 2 evolution potential (OEP) and lowest charge transfer resistance, suggesting that it has the lower energy consumption than the other three kinds of electrodes. Electrochemical oxidation methyl orange (MO) as a model dye wastewater was studied to evaluate the potential applications of this modified electrode in environmental science. It was found that the Ce-Nd-PbO 2 electrode exhibited higher MO and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency than single-doped and pure PbO 2 electrodes.

The M-modified TiO 2 nanotubes (NTs) (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y, 2.0 wt%) were synthesized by combining sol-gel method with hydrothermal treatment, based on which gold was loaded by the deposition–precipitation approach. These catalysts were loaded with 1.5 wt% gold and calcined at 300 °C, and their catalytic performance was compared with Au/TiO 2 NTs in CO oxidation. TEM results manifested Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y) had smaller gold nanoparticles than Au/TiO 2 NTs. Patterns of XPS revealed the presence of the strong interaction between gold and support in Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y). Ce 4+ , Ga 3+ , Co 2+ , and Y 3+ ions were present as CeO 2 , Ga 2 O 3 , CoO, and Y 2 O 3 in Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y), respectively. Based on O 2 -TPD studies, Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y) provided new O 2 adsorption sites for the adsorption and activation of oxygen in CO oxidation. M (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y) modifying performed the positive effect on CO oxidation activity and Au/Y-TiO 2 NTs showed the highest activity among these catalysts. Additionally, Au/Y-TiO 2 NTs also performed excellent high-temperature stability. It was likely that the strong interaction between gold and support created the small size of gold nanoparticles, large O 2 adsorption and plenty of defects, thereby enhancing the catalytic activity of Au/M-TiO 2 NTs (M = Ce, Ga, Co, Y).

Mesoporous Ce–Ti–MoOx catalysts have been prepared by stabilization with an in situ formed carbon template and used for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR). The Ce–Ti–MoOx catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption, XRD, HR-TEM, H2-TPR and XPS analysis. It was found that the stabilization with a carbon template obviously improved the NOx conversion of the Ce–Ti–MoOx catalyst and the pore distribution. The Ce–Ti–MoOx catalyst stabilized with a carbon template at 850 °C in N2 exhibited the best NH3-SCR activity and showed a uniform mesopore distribution, and more than 90% NOx conversions were obtained at 175–425 °C with a GHSV of 60 000 h−1. The high stabilization temperature with a carbon template in N2 not only led to an increase in specific surface area, pore volume and low-temperature SCR activity, but also contributed to the enhanced redox properties, highly dispersed titanium or molybdenum species and narrow mesopore distribution. The treatment of Ce–Ti–MoOx with a high calcination temperature for removal of the carbon template led to a drastic decrease in surface area, an abrupt decrease in surface oxygen and cerium, production of rutile TiO2, and a correspondingly low SCR activity.

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.

Three transition metal oxides (Fe 3 O 4 , CeO 2 and SnO 2 ) modified Zn/Ti–layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were successfully synthesized. These materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV–vis) for the purpose of confirming the formation of good crystal structure. Comparing with original layered double hydroxides, the transition metal oxides modified Zn/Ti layered double hydroxide materials show narrower band gap, larger surface area, smaller pore volume, pore size distribution, and higher removal efficiency for acid red 14 under visible light. The decomposition efficiency of acid red 14 was all over 92% after 120 min. In addition, the thermal regeneration for re-use of layered double hydroxide materials after photodegradation was feasible for at least four cycles (degradation amount still all over 80%). Furthermore, the kinetic parameters, intermediates and possible photocatalytic pathways for acid red 14 decomposed by these transition metal oxides modified Zn/Ti layered double hydroxide materials were also investigated carefully.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active fluorescence polymeric nanoparticles (FPNs) have recently received increasing interests for biomedical applications such as cell imaging , drug delivery, disease diagnosis and treatment. Fabricated strategies of AIE-active FPNs with high efficiency, simplification and tenderness are still passionately pursued to promote the development of theranostic systems. In this work, we develop a facile method for the preparation of AIE-active FPNs by adopting Ce(IV)/HNO 3 redox polymerization under near room temperature. Thus-prepared FPNs (named as PEG-PLC-1) possess unique AIE feature, great water dispersity, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability because of the conjugation of ultra-bright AIE dye (PhE-alc) and biodegradable PEG-PCL linear copolymers . The 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Visible and fluorescence spectrometers were used to confirm the successful fabrication of AIE-active FPNs. Cell viability and cellular uptake behavior of PEG-PLC-1 FPNs were further investigated for their potential biomedical applications. Results demonstrated that PEG-PLC-1 FPNs are high water dispersity, intensive luminescence and low cytotoxicity, making them very attractive for biomedical applications. More importantly, the method for the fabrication of AIE-active biodegradable FPNs can be occurred under rather facile conditions (e.g., low temperature, free of metal catalysts, common chain transfer agent and aqueous solution) and are specially used for fabrication of AIE-active polysaccharides with poor organic solubility.

Adding polyethylene glycol (PEG) can lessen the shedding of coating and improve the dispersion of active particles for monolithic catalysts. In this study, a series of Cu-Mn-Ce-O x (P x )/TiO 2 (P x )/CH catalysts were prepared with different PEG molecular weights (P x , x = 200, 1000, and 2000) to explore the effect of P x addition on the structure and activity of the catalysts in microwave catalytic combustion of toluene. The research showed that P x addition (1 wt% dosage to titanium sol) to coating reduced the particle size of titanium sol and decreased the shedding rate of TiO 2 coating 0.9–0.93 %, and P x addition (3 wt% dosage to CH's water absorption) to active components further lessened the shedding rate of the catalysts 1.93–2.04 %. Under an initial toluene concentration of 1500 mg/m 3 and a gas hourly space velocity of 2260 h −1 , Cu-Mn-Ce-O x (P 1000 )/TiO 2 (P 1000 )/CH owned the highest catalytic activity and its complete removal temperature (T R100 ) and mineralization temperature (T M100 ) to toluene were 180℃ and 218℃, respectively, which were lower 33℃ and 16℃, 56℃ and 58℃ than Cu-Mn-Ce-O x /TiO 2 (P 1000 )/CH and Cu-Mn-Ce-O x /TiO 2 /CH catalysts separately, and its activity maintained steadily with toluene removal efficiencies of 99–91 % over 12 h. The improved activity is attributed to the uniform dispersion of active particles, larger specific surface area, and increased adsorbed oxygen, facilitated by pore-forming and steric-hindrance effects of P x . Electron transfer among Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ /Mn 2+ , Cu 2+ /Cu + , and Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ promoted the oxidation of toluene under microwave irradiation. Therefore, the research provides technological support for developing transition metals-based catalysts for industrial VOC waste gas treatment.

Water splitting for hydrogen production is limited by high cell voltage and low energy conversion efficiencies due to the slow kinetic process of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, an electrolytic system is constructed in which the cathode and anode co-release H 2 at ultra-low input voltage using formaldehyde oxidation reaction (FOR) instead of OER. The prepared RuCe co-doped Cu 2 O nanotubes on copper foam (RuCe-Cu 2 O/CF) are used as electrode materials for the HER-FOR system. A current density of 0.8 A cm −2 is achieved at 0.55 V, and a stable hydrogen production process is realized at both the cathode and anode. Density functional theory (DFT) studies show that the synergistic effect of Ru and Ce drives: i) the d -band center of RuCe-Cu 2 O/CF away from the Fermi energy level; ii) the energy barrier for the C─H cracking of the H 2 C(OH)O * intermediate in FOR is lowered, which promotes the formation of H 2 from H * , and iii) ΔG H* tends to 0 (−0.1 eV), optimizing the reaction kinetics of HER. This work provides a new design for an efficient catalyst for dual hydrogen production systems from water splitting.
