The selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) is an effective method for removing slipped high-concentration ammonia from NH 3 -fueled engine exhaust gas. Herein a novel bifunctional catalyst was synthesized by mechanically mixing sulfated Ce/ZrO 2 (Ce/ZrO 2 -S) with a small fraction of Pt/Al 2 O 3 (Pt 0.1 wt.%) for SCO of NH 3 . As expected, the introduction of a small amount of Pt/Al 2 O 3 significantly improved NH 3 conversion ability of Ce/ZrO 2 -S catalysts toward low-temperature direction. When the mass ratio of Pt/Al 2 O 3 to Ce/ZrO 2 -S was 7.5% (the corresponding mixed catalyst was denoted as P@CZS-7.5), T 90 temperature was 312 °C. More importantly, P@CZS-7.5 catalyst exhibited a much better N 2 selectivity (> 96%) in a wide temperature range (320 ~ 450 °C). H 2 -TPR results revealed that the addition of a trace amount of Pt/Al 2 O 3 significantly led to a distinct shift of reduction temperature peak toward low-temperature direction, thereby greatly improved the low-temperature redox performance of mixed catalysts. Furthermore, NH 3 -TPD and BET results showed that P@CZS-7.5 catalyst exhibited a similar NH 3 adsorption capacity to Ce/ZrO 2 -S catalyst, while the former had a relatively higher specific surface area than the latter. It was considered as a crucial factor for P@CZS-7.5 catalyst maintaining superior N 2 selectivity in high-concentration NH 3 (5000 ppm) removal processes. In situ DRIFTS results indicated that P@CZS-7.5 catalyst followed the internal selective catalytic reduction (i-SCR) mechanism in NH 3 -SCO reactions.

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.

The synthesis of multielement composite oxide nanomaterials containing Ce, Zr, Y, and Yb was investigated using a micro confined jet mixer reactor operated in continuous mode under supercritical water conditions. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized using ICP-AES, SEM-EDS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, XRD, and TEM. All samples exhibited a uniform particle shape and a narrow particle size distribution. An analysis of the d-spacing results using selected electron area diffraction (SAED) patterns confirmed the production of cubic-phase crystals. A BET test was employed to determine the specific surface area of the prepared nanoparticles. OSC and TPR techniques were utilized to characterize the oxygen storage capacity and reduction performance of the obtained samples, with an analysis conducted to determine how the different proportions of elements affected the performance of multielement mixed oxides. The ionic conductivity of multielement composite oxide was measured using alternating current impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the impact of Y, Ce, and Yb on the electrolyte material’s ionic conductivity was analyzed.Keywords:confined jet mixer;multielement composite oxide;continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis;oxygen storage capacity;ionic conductivity

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.

A series of (Sr 0.4 Ce 0.4 )TiO 3 + 4% (in mass) Sr 2 CeO 4 + x % B 2 O 3 (SCTO + 4% SCO + x % B 2 O 3 for 1≤ x ≤ 5) composites were synthesized via solid-state reaction to investigate the effects of Sr 2 CeO 4 and B 2 O 3 additives on their structural evolution and microwave dielectric properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinement confirmed the dominant orthorhombic phase (O-phase), with SCO as a secondary phase, indicating a chemically stable composite system. HRTEM and SAED analyses further confirmed the formation of the O-phase through direct observation of the superlattice reflections. Microstructural evolution demonstrated B 2 O 3 -assisted liquid-phase sintering, reducing porosity (0.017→ 0.006) and increasing grain size (3.34 → 6.01 μm) with increasing x % (in mass). Raman spectroscopy verified octahedral tilting and Ce–O stretching, while B 2 O 3 incorporation modified the TiO 6 network via BO 3 /BO 4 interactions. The ε r decreased from 113 (SCTO) to 27 at x = 5%, while τ f improved from +213 to +12×10 –6 /°C. The reduction in ε r arises from a complex interplay of internal factors (ionic polarizability) and external factors (porosity, and density), whereas the variation in τ f is governed by compensating effects from Sr 2 CeO 4 and B 2 O 3 . Optimal microwave performance was achieved at x = 5%, with Q×f = 43,603 GHz, ε r =27, and τ f of +12×10 –6 /°C. The study demonstrates that SCO and B 2 O 3 act as effective modifiers, enhancing densification and dielectric properties in SCTO-based microwave ceramics.

The Fe–Mn–Ce/CP catalyst prepared by the incipient-wetness impregnation method was investigated for elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) removal in simulated coal-fired flue gas . The incorporation of Fe could remarkably enhance the SO 2 -resistance of Fe–Mn–Ce/CP catalyst at low temperature, and the existence of water vapor had negative impact on Hg 0 removal efficiency. More than 95% of Hg 0 could be removed at 100 °C under the conditions of 60 ppm HCl, 3% O 2 ( v/v ), 5% H 2 O ( v/v ) and 400 ppm SO 2 . Hg-TPD results indicated that Hg 0 adsorption amount decreased after the addition of H 2 O or SO 2 . The XPS results revealed that the incorporation of Fe could enhance the contents of high valence Mn x + (i.e., Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ ) and Ce 3+ species in the composite catalysts, which are favorable for the oxidation process of elemental mercury. The surface characteristics were not the primary factor determining the catalytic activity . Overall, the catalytic performance of the Fe–Mn–Ce/CP catalyst was closely related to the Fe 3+ state, high ratios of (Mn 4+ + Mn 3+ )/Mn 2+ and high content of not fully coordinated cerium species.

Water splitting powered by intermittent renewable energy calls for efficient anode electrocatalysts to overcome both sluggish four-electron OER kinetics and poor durability under fluctuating conditions. Here, we synergistically engineer NiFeOOH with Ce doping and Cr vacancies through a facile one-step electrodeposition method. XPS, XAS and DFT results reveal that Ce doping elevates the Ni valence state to strengthen *OH adsorption, while Cr vacancies redistribute charge around Fe sites to weaken *OH binding. This complementary modulation reduces the Gibbs free energy of the rate-determining step for the OER and promotes the reaction pathway via dual-site synergistic catalysis. It achieves an ultralow overpotential of 280 ± 6.1 mV at 1 A cm −2 with a small Tafel slope of 33.5 mV dec −1 . Notably, the anode exhibits excellent stability under both steady-state (2000 h) and fluctuating (9000 cycles) operation, owing to the rapid charge buffering of the Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ redox couple and the flexible coordination environment arising from Cr vacancy-induced lattice relaxation. Their synergistic effect stabilizes Ni/Fe valence states and M–O bonds, thereby lowering charge consumption, enhancing Faradaic efficiencies and suppressing over-oxidation and deactivation. This study offers an effective route to design resilient anodes for efficient water oxidation under fluctuating power. The 600 cm 2 NiFeOOH catalyst co‑modified with Ce doping and Cr vacancies by electrodeposition, uses Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ redox and Cr vacancies to buffer charge and structure, synergistically stabilizing active sites and optimizing the OER pathway under fluctuating power.

Formaldehyde (HCHO) release is a long process due to indoor decoration and furniture, which poses a serious threat to human health. Yet it is still a great challenge to remove formaldehyde efficiently at room temperature for a long time. Herein, inspired by porous lotus seedpods, cerium-doped manganese-based catalysts supported on diatomaceous earth (MnXCeY-DM) with high efficiency for formaldehyde removal were successfully prepared by co-precipitation and coordination complexation processes. The results showed that the transition metal oxides on the surfaces of both catalysts before and after doping with Ce were not highly crystalline and well-dispersed. The introduction of Ce reduced the agglomeration of the excessive metal oxides on the surfaces. Noteworthy, Ce doping can bring larger porosity, specific surface area, and more nano effects, which can accelerate the oxidative breakdown of formaldehyde. The absorption and reaction efficiency of the Mn20Ce5-DM catalyst reached 100% for 12 h at an HCHO concentration of 2 mg/m 3 at room temperature, which was 4.67% higher than that of the Ce-undoped catalyst. The final removal efficiency of Mn20Ce5-DM reached 78.05% even after five cycles. At room temperature, diatomaceous earth (DM) has a strong adsorption function, and the addition of Ce element promotes the oxidation process of HCHO, which strengthens the synergistic effect of the decomposition of HCHO. This research provides an excellent strategy to improve the HCHO degradation efficiency and persistence of manganese-based catalysts at room temperature.

Transition metal oxyhydroxides are crucial for the electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), though the co-adsorption and activation mechanisms of HMF and hydroxyl species require further clarification. This study designs cerium-doped Co-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) arrays, including 3%Ce-Co 3 Fe 1− x Al x -LDH/NF, to investigate Fe as a secondary active center and the role of Ce–O–TM (Transition metal) bridges in regulating HMF/OH − adsorption. Theoretical calculations indicate that Ce–O–TM bridges induce f – p – d gradient orbital coupling, optimizing HMF/OH − adsorption configurations and facilitating the HMF oxidation reaction (HMFOR). Synchrotron radiation characterization and in situ Raman spectroscopy reveal that Fe enhances electronic interaction between Ce and Co/Fe sites, strengthening the stability of M–O bonds, suppressing metal dissolution, and further optimizing reactant adsorption. Fe doping also modulates charge distribution and accelerates charge transfer. The optimized 3%Ce-Co 3 Fe 1 -LDH/NF delivers industrial current density (0.1 A cm −2 ) at 1.44 V RHE , with 98.1% HMF conversion, 99.6% FDCA yield, and 99.8% Faradaic efficiency. In an anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer, it achieves 0.5 A cm −2 at 2.1 V while maintaining high stability across 0.1–0.5 A cm −2 . These results provide an effective strategy for designing high-performance HMFOR catalysts through electronic structure modulation.

In this paper, the bimetallic zeolite imidazolate framework Ce-Fe-MI as a high-performance catalyst for ozonation-based degradation of tetracycline (TC) was investigated. During the catalytic process, electron transfer occurred between the two metal ions on the catalyst, and the mixed-valence state induced charge imbalance and unsaturated bonds, thereby forming catalytically active sites. Through comprehensive characterization and experimental evaluation, the Ce-Fe-MI catalytic ozonation process significantly enhanced the removal efficiency of COD and TOC, achieving a mineralization rate of 50% higher than ozonation alone. EPR identified the presence of uperoxide radicals (•O 2 - ) and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) as the main active species; however, quantitative analysis revealed hydroxyl radicals (•OH) was the main contributor to the degradation of pollutants, indicating the involvement of all three reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the catalytic ozonation reaction process. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further demonstrated that the synergistic Ce-Fe interactions promoted electron transfer and facilitated ozone activation, leading to enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species. These findings emphasize the potential of Ce-Fe-MI catalyzed O 3 as an efficient and advanced oxidation process for antibiotic wastewater treatment.

This study reports a novel adsorbent prepared via a Pickering emulsion-template method for the efficient adsorption of Ce(III) from aqueous solutions. Water-in-oil Pickering emulsions were first stabilized by commercial nano-SiO2, using an aqueous sodium alginate solution as the dispersed phase and kerosene-diluted di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (P204) as the continuous phase. The emulsion droplets were then gelled in a Ca 2 + solution to form stable Pickering emulsion hydrogel beads (PEHG), thereby encapsulating the P204-containing organic phase within a calcium alginate matrix. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy confirmed the successful encapsulation and the structural integrity of the PEHG. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that the adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model, indicative of chemisorption, while the equilibrium data were best described by the Redlich-Peterson isotherm, suggesting a complex adsorption mechanism involving both monolayer and multilayer interactions. Remarkably, the PEHG retained a Ce(III) removal efficiency above 99% over five consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles, with no observable structural degradation or leakage of the encapsulated phase. This strategy of encapsulating the functional organic phase (P204) within a hydrogel matrix not only enhances its utilization efficiency but also effectively prevents its leakage into the aqueous environment, offering a promising and sustainable approach for rare earth element recovery.
