K-doped Mn–Ce solid solution catalysts were synthesized using a combination of coprecipitation and hydrothermal methods, demonstrating excellent performance in benzene oxidation. The catalyst K 1 Ce 5 Mn 5 exhibited comparable activity to noble metal catalysts, achieving a 90 % benzene conversion at approximately 194 ℃. Durable tests under dry and moist conditions revealed that the catalyst could maintain its activity for 50 h at 218 ℃ and 236 ℃, respectively. Characterization results indicated that the catalyst’s enhanced activity resulted from the weakened Mn–O bonding caused by the introduction of K + , facilitating the activation of oxygen and its involvement in the reaction. CeO x , the main crystalline phase of Mn–Ce solid solutions, provided abundant oxygen vacancies for capturing and activating oxygen molecules for the weakened Mn–O structures. This conclusion was further supported by partial density of state analysis from density functional theory computations, revealing that the introduction of K + weakened the orbital hybridization of Mn3d and O2p. Finally, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy ( in situ DRIFTS) studies on Ce 5 Mn 5 and K 1 Ce 5 Mn 5 catalysts suggested that the introduction of K + promoted the conversion of adsorbed benzene. Furthermore, intermediate products were transformed more rapidly for K 1 Ce 5 Mn 5 compared to Ce 5 Mn 5 .

The layer-structured titanium oxide lithium ion sieve (TiO 2 ·H 2 O) is regarded as one of the most promising adsorbents for recovering Li + from low-grade brines with high Mg 2+ /Li + ratios and low lithium concentrations. This is due to its exceptional theoretical lithium adsorption capacity and outstanding stability. Nevertheless, its prolonged adsorption equilibrium time, frequently in excess of 72 h, has constrained its large-scale practical application, thus confining its utilization primarily to laboratory settings. To address this challenge, we have developed a Ce-doped TiO 2 ·H 2 O adsorbent through a simple in-situ calcination method. The as-prepared adsorbents have been shown to achieve a high adsorption capacity of up to 58.42 mg/g within 10 h in a 700 ppm LiOH solution, while exhibiting a very low Ti 4+ dissolution loss rate of around 0.6 %. It is noteworthy that the Ce doping process resulted in a 14 % enhancement in adsorption capacity, accompanied by a substantial improvement in the desorption/adsorption kinetics and selectivity of the TiO 2 ·H 2 O lithium adsorbents. In summary, this study presents a novel methodology for accelerating the Li + sorption in Ti–O frameworks derived from natural brines, which provides valuable insights for enhancing the practical applicability of TiO 2 ·H 2 O.

Abnormal glucose metabolism has been identified as a key characteristic of tumorigenesis. Visualizing the levels of monosaccharides in the lesion tissues and bodies of cancer patients is conducive to uncovering patterns of glucose metabolic reprogramming and assisting in the early diagnosis of cancer. Consequently, based on 7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carbohydrazide (DCCH), which has mass spectrometry/optical dual-signal enhancement functionality, both an on-tissue derivatization strategy suitable for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) analysis and an in-solution derivatization strategy for capillary electrophoresis/laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) analysis have been developed. During the on-tissue derivatization reaction, the nonvolatile MALDI matrix, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, was innovatively adopted as a proton donor. This approach not only efficiently catalyzes the derivatization process but also significantly minimizes analyte redistribution, and a low-cost airbrush application can achieve satisfying in situ derivatization. For further addressing the issue of the coexistence of multiple conformational isomers in biosamples, a rapid and efficient CE-LIF method was proposed for the separation of five DCCH-labeled monosaccharides (including three conformational isomers) within 8 min. By focusing on endometrial cancer (EC), the synergy of DCCH-mediated MALDI-MSI and CE-LIF analysis successfully achieved high-resolution in situ visualization of an obvious depletion difference in monosaccharides across the focal areas (tumor tissues, peritumoral tissues, and paracancerous tissues), and a comparative analysis was conducted on the serum monosaccharide profiles between patients with EC and those with benign uterine diseases. These analyses yielded novel molecular-level evidence, thereby facilitating a deeper understanding of the monosaccharide metabolic abnormalities associated with EC.

Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are regarded as a competitive candidate for future energy storage systems due to their exceptionally high theoretical capacity and energy density, but their practical use is limited by severe lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) shuttling and uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth, harming cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency. Herein, a multifunctional Ce-ZIF-8/PDA@PP separator is fabricated via in situ growth. Theoretical and experimental studies confirm it integrates synergistic functionalities from polydopamine (PDA), ZIF-8, and Ce doping. The PDA interlayer, rich in polar groups, enhances electrolyte wettability, homogenizes Li+ flux, acts as a chemical anchor and nucleation facilitator, enabling uniform Ce-ZIF-8 growth on inert PP. ZIF-8 provides uniform microporous channels for size-selective Li+ transport and LiPSs anchoring sites. Redox-active Ce3+/Ce4+ centers enable dynamic electron transfer via 4f–5d orbitals, accelerating LiPSs redox kinetics, enhancing adsorption, and regulating Li+ deposition through local electric field modulation. Consequently, symmetric cells with this separator achieve ultralong stability over 3600 h at 1 mA cm–2/1 mAh cm–2, while full cells cycle stably over 600 cycles at 1 C with 0.040% per cycle capacity decay. This study offers a robust separator strategy to concurrently address polysulfide diffusion and lithium dendrite growth in high-performance LSBs.

The elaborate design of inexpensive, high-performance electrocatalysts from earth-abundant elements toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical in various (electro)chemical processes. Herein, a novel binder-free catalyst of Ce-coupled Ni3S2/NiS supported on Ni foam (Ce-Ni3S2/NiS@NF) is successfully synthesized via a facile one-step hydrothermal method that enables practical feasibility with a significant enhancement of OER activity through anchoring Ce dopants on an Ni3S2/NiS nanobud host. Ce species coupling can modulate electronic structure, which reduces the reaction energy barrier and optimizes OER catalytic activity. More profoundly, the superhydrophilic and superaerophobic properties of the Ce-Ni3S2/NiS@NF electrode further promote mass transfer. As a result, the Ce-Ni3S2/NiS@NF electrode exhibits excellent OER activity with a low overpotential of 236 and 350 mV to achieve current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm−2, respectively, and long-term durability for 24 h in alkaline medium. These results could supply valuable guidelines for the design of other OER catalysts and beyond.

Ultrasonic-assisted strategy prepares Ce-doped HEOs from high-entropy MOFs. • MOF-derived HEOs retain porous structures and high surface areas after calcination. • Ce doping promotes CO conversion in low-temperature CO oxidation. Developing efficient and durable noble-metal-free catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation remains a challenge, as conventional transition metal oxides are plagued by sintering, limited active-site accessibility, and poor oxygen activation capability. Herein, a facile and scalable ultrasonic-assisted strategy was developed to synthesize a Ce-doped high-entropy metal–organic framework precursor (6-HE-MOF), followed by controlled calcination to obtain high-entropy oxide (HEO) catalysts. Among them, 6-HEO-550 exhibited the highest catalytic efficacy, achieving complete CO conversion at 140 °C and preserving 100% conversion across a 50 h continuous stability test at 140 °C. Comprehensive structural and surface characterizations reveal that the MOF-derived architecture effectively suppresses particle sintering while preserving an open mesoporous structure with a high specific surface area (60.3 m 2 g −1 ), thereby facilitating active-site exposure and mass transport. Meanwhile, Ce incorporation enriches oxygen vacancies and reactive adsorbed oxygen species. In situ DRIFTS further demonstrates that Ce promotes CO chemisorption and accelerates the formation and conversion of reactive carbonate intermediates, resulting in a reduced apparent activation energy of 51.8 kJ mol −1 . This work demonstrates that coupling high-entropy multicomponent engineering with Ce-induced defect modulation through a MOF-derived strategy provides an effective and scalable route for developing highly efficient, durable, and noble-metal-free catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation.

The currently used β -Ni(OH) 2 for alkaline nickel batteries are falling short of higher capacity demand. In contrast, α -Ni(OH) 2 with high theoretical capacity can address this need. However, the α -Ni(OH) 2 suffers from poor stability and intrinsic low electrical conductivity. Herein, we designed La/Ce-doped spherical α -Ni(OH) 2 and study the effect of La/Ce on the structure and electrochemical properties of α -Ni(OH) 2 . The increased specific surface area of the α -Ni(OH) 2 with La/Ce doping reduces the electron transfer resistance. The La/Ce-doped α -Ni(OH) 2 with 2 at% La (Ni-La-2) and 3 at% Ce (Ni-Ce-3) doping deliver high capacities of ∼365 mAh g –1 and ∼373 mAh g –1 , respectively, which is only 309 mAh g –1 for the pure α -Ni(OH) 2 . Meanwhile, the La/Ce-doping stabilizes the structural robustness of the α -Ni(OH) 2 during cycling. Notably, Ni-La-2 shows a superior stable cycling life with a capacity retention of ∼95 % after 400 cycles, which is ∼20 % higher than that of pure α -Ni(OH) 2 .

The electrode reactions of the Ce 3+ /Ce couple in molten LiCl–KCl eutectic in the temperature range 723–823 K on solid Mo electrodes were investigated by electrochemical techniques . The mechanism of deposition of metallic cerium has been established. It was found that the cathode reaction is irreversible and proceeds in one stage. The apparent standard Gibbs energy of CeCl 3 formation from the elements was calculated. The values of enthalpy and entropy were equal: ΔH* = − 1000.2 kJ/mol, ΔS* = 166.0 J/mol·K. The conditions of high-purity cerium production have been studied. The chemical structure of cathode deposits as well as the surfaces of the crucible were investigated by XRD , ICP and SEM-EDS methods. It was established that the best results for purification of the cathode product from impurities were achieved in the range 40–60 mA/cm 2 using a two-stage electrolysis. The amounts of the main impurities in the final product were 0.005 wt% Al, 0.0021 wt% Fe, and 0.003 wt% Si. The total purity of metallic cerium after cleaning was increased up to 99.971 wt% if a vitreous carbon crucible was used.

Compared with other fluorescent crystal phases, garnet has better structural stability in a glass matrix and renders precisely controllable emissions due to the abundant lattice control positions. In this work, we regulate the coordination field of Ce 3+ ion based on the co-substitution method and achieve the spectra regulation in the yellow–green range. We used Ba 2+ –Si 4+ cations to replace Y 3+ –Al 3+ cations in Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG) matrix to obtain blue-shift of the emission peak from 552 to 539 nm. The centroid shift and crystal field splitting decrease with the decreasing covalency of the bond between the Ce 3+ ion and the surrounding anions owing to the higher electronegativity of Si 4+ ions than Al 3+ ions. The corresponding fluorescent films were prepared by a low-temperature co-sintering process based on the as-made Ba 2+ –Si 4+ co-substituted phosphor. X-ray powder diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy images showed that the fluorescence crystals were less eroded and evenly dispersed in the glass matrix. Spectral analysis showed that the garnet phase was protected by using lead-free borosilicate glass with a low melting point, and the quantum efficiency of phosphor-in-glass (PiG) retains 98% of the corresponding phosphor. By adjusting the ratio of garnet phosphor to commercial red nitride phosphors, a warm white fluorescence with a color rendering index of 80.3 and color temperature of 3899 K was obtained. The prepared warm white film has potential application value in the whole spectra field.

A novel hybrid route, combining simple co-precipitation and conventional solid state reaction, is proposed for the first time to synthesize BaCe 0.4 Zr 0.4 Y 0.2 O 3− δ powders at a temperature as low as 1150 °C. This temperature is much lower than that used for conventional solid state reaction method and even comparable to that used in sol–gel route. The reasons for the low calcination temperature are analyzed in detail from the macroscopic to microscopic viewpoints. Moreover, with the powders made by the novel method, dense ceramic could be easily obtained. Further, impedance data illustrated that its electrical conductivity in wet H 2 at 750 °C is up to 1.39 × 10 −2 S/cm, which is the highest among all the samples prepared by the three different methods and much higher than the reported results related to BCZY proton conductors . Also, the new method is particularly suitable for other multi-component oxides .

As alkaline phosphatase (ALP) plays crucial roles in disease warning and dephosphorylation-related cellular regulation, it is widely recognized as an important biomarker for clinical diagnosis. In this work, we proposed a facile colorimetric assay based on phosphate anion-quenched oxidase-mimicking activity of Ce(Ⅳ) ions for sensitive and selective detection of ALP activity. Free Ce(Ⅳ) ions exhibited a strong oxidase-like capability (providing a 40-fold catalytic turnover number compared with CeO 2 ) to catalyze the oxidation of colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into its blue product TMBox mediated by dissolved O 2 at neutral pH, thus triggering a remarkable color reaction visually. When PO 4 3− was added, its strong affinity to Ce(Ⅳ) ions rapidly precipitated the free Ce(Ⅳ) ions, resulting in the quenching of their enzymatic ability. Given that ALP catalyzed the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate to produce PO 4 3− , determination of ALP activity could be achieved using the colorimetric assay with no need of complicated instrumentation and protocol. As demonstrated, our assay offered a highly sensitive readout for ALP activity in two linear scopes of 0–50 U L −1 and 50–250 U L −1 , providing a detection limit down to 2.3 U L −1 . Besides, it could provide specific response toward ALP against other enzymes and biological species. Furthermore, the developed assay was successfully applied to evaluate ALP activity in human plasma accurately and reliably, indicating its great promise as a powerful and convenient tool for monitoring of ALP activity in clinical practice.

This paper presents the synthesis of a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient Cerium (Ce)-based polyvinyl alcohol/tannin hydrogel adsorbent modified with triethylene tetramine (Ce-PVA/TA/TETA). This material integrates components with exceptional phosphate affinity, making it ideal for phosphate removal applications . Specifically, the hydrogels were firstly prepared by using tannin and polyvinyl alcohol as raw materials. Subsequently, after H 3 BO 3 as crosslinking, the Ce was loaded into hydrogel by co-precipitation and Ce-PVA/TA was modified by triethylene tetramine amine to obtain Ce-PVA/TA/TETA with high adsorption efficiency and high selectivity. Triple modification with tannin hydrogelation, Ce loading and amination can significantly improve the affinity of the material to phosphate. This allows the Ce-PVA/TA/TETA hydrogel to maintain high phosphate adsorption capabilities across a wide pH range of 3.0–12.0. The Ce-PVA/TA/TETA hydrogel achieved a maximum phosphorus adsorption capacity of 110.88 mg/g within an equilibrium time of 120 min at 25 °C and pH = 3.0. The presence of co-existing ions had impact on phosphate adsorption. Both the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir model effectively described the kinetics and isotherms, respectively . The adsorption process was a monolayer chemical adsorption, which was dominated by the surface adsorption and particle internal diffusion. Besides electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange and internal diffusion mechanisms were involved in the phosphate adsorbing of Ce-PVA/TA/TETA based on Zeta potential, FTIR, and XPS analysis. Most importantly, the Ce-PVA/TA/TETA hydrogel can swiftly remove phosphate from natural water and wastewater at low doses, meeting regulatory standards. This underscores its promising potential for phosphate management and eutrophication control.
