This research delves into the methane dry reforming, meticulously exploring the structural-evolution of Ni-Ce bimetallic alloy on Al 2 O 3 support during the reaction-process and its impact on catalytic performance. By delicately tuning the cerium content to an optimal proportion of 10 wt%, we achieved a remarkable optimization of the catalyst structure, fostering the low-temperature reduction of nickel-species and an increase in oxygen-vacancies. At 800 °C, this optimized catalyst exhibited a methane conversion as high as 98.34 % (maintained for 50 h), significantly outperforming the Ni@Al 2 O 3 . Our findings revealed that the synergistic-interaction between the Ni-Ce bimetallic properties and the hydrogen-reduction-process enhanced the crystallinity and accessibility of active-sites within the catalytic. In-situ DRIFT spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that the adoption of a cerium modulation strategy markedly enhances the adsorption and dissociation efficiency of reactants, while effectively mitigating the formation of carbon deposition during extended reaction periods. Consequently, this ensures that the catalyst maintains exceptional activity throughout a continuous 50-hours operation. This study expands the new adsorption and carbon-accumulation mechanism in the methane dry reforming and lays a solid-foundation for its industrial application.

CuO-based and MnO x -based sorbents modified with Ce and La using sol-gel method, were employed for elemental mercury removal at 120–240 °C. The Hg 0 removal activity of Mn 2 O 3 /ZSM-5 can be significantly enhanced by doping 50 at.% Ce or 10 at.% La, the Hg 0 removal efficiency increased by 94% and 71%, respectively. The Hg 0 removal ability of CuO/ZSM-5 subtly improved by addition of 50 at.% Ce or 10 at.% La, the Hg 0 removal efficiency ascended only by 6% and 18%, respectively. The XPS results revealed that Hg 0 transformed to HgO, and CuO (or Mn 2 O 3 ) was reduced to Cu 2 O (or Mn 3 O 4 ), which is in agreement with Mars-Maessen mechanism.

A series of Mn−Fe−Ce−Ox/γ-Al2O3nanocatalysts were synthesized with different Mn/Fe ratios for the catalytic oxidation of NO into NO2and the catalytic elimination of NOxvia fast selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction. The effects of Mn/Fe ratio on the physicochemical properties of the samples were analyzed by means of various techniques including N2adsorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H2-temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), NH3-temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and NO-TPD, meanwhile, their catalytic performance was also evaluated and compared. Multiple characterizations revealed that the catalytic performance was highly dependent on the phase composition. The Mn15Fe15−Ce/Al sample with the Mn/Fe molar ratio of 1.0 presented the optimal structure characteristic among all tested samples, with the largest surface area, increased active components distributions, the reduced crystallinity and diminished particle sizes. In the meantime, the ratios of Mn4+/Mnn+, Fe2+/Fen+and Ce3+/Cen+in Mn15Fe15−Ce/Al samples were improved, which could enhance the redox capacity and increase the quantity of chemisorbed oxygen and oxygen vacancy, thus facilitating NO oxidation into NO2and eventually promoting the fast SCR reaction. In accord with the structure results, the Mn15Fe15−Ce/Al sample exhibited the highest NO oxidation rate of 64.2% at 350 °C and the broadest temperature window of 75–350 °C with the NOxconversion >90%. Based on the structure–activity relationship discussion, the catalytic mechanism over the Mn−Fe−Ce ternary components supported byγ-Al2O3were proposed. Overall, it was believed that the optimization of Mn/Fe ratio in Mn−Fe−Ce/Al nanocatalyst was an extremely effective method to improve the structure–activity relationships for NO pre-oxidation and the fast SCR reaction.

Treating real electroplating wastewater is challenging due to the coexistence of organic contaminants and heavy metal ions, which collectively increase toxicity and pose serious risks to human and environmental health. In this study, the simultaneous removal of a typical organic pollutant (benzodiacetone) and a heavy metal ion (Cr(VI)) from electroplating effluent was investigated using a heterogeneous electro-Fenton process catalyzed by a novel Ce-Fe 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 material. Comprehensive characterization and theoretical calculations confirmed the excellent catalytic performance of the synthesized catalyst. Under near-neutral conditions, the electro-Fenton system achieved removal efficiencies of 99.1 % for benzodiacetone and 98.8 % for Cr(VI). The mechanism of simultaneous degradation was explored, revealing that Ce doping enhanced Fe redox cycling by lowering the binding energy between H 2 O 2 and Fe and facilitating electron transfer from Fe (III) to Fe (II). Additionally, Ce doping improved the stability and reusability of the catalyst. And the Ce could also extend the lifetime and reusability of the catalyst. This work developed a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the electro-Fenton process and demonstrated that the Ce-Fe 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 catalyst had a superior application potential in synergic removal of Cr(VI) and benzodiacetone area.

(Co)doping luminescent center(s) in a host is a universal strategy to photoluminescence (PL) modulations for extensive applications, yet its mechanism and interactions between structure and behavior in many phosphors remain ambiguous. Herein, via a facile sol–gel reaction method, differently tendentious occupations of Ce3+ in distinct crystallographic sites of K3YSi2O7 (KYS) lead to tunable PL in between blue and bluish-green under diverse excitations with high quantum efficiency. The generation of wide trap energy levels originating from heterovalent substitution Tb3+ → K+ could entrust Tb3+ as both PL and long-persistent PL (LPL) centers in green. Due to temperature-dependent filling/releasing rates of captured carriers, strong thermal-induced LPL could be obtained in KYS: Tb. By codoping Ce/Tb in KYS, multimode anticounterfeiting and information storage/encryption of KYS: Ce/Tb are realized with high security level via a screen printing technique. Because Ce and Tb possess different temperature-dependent quenching behaviors, optical temperature sensing is achieved with high absolute/relative sensitivity. To further enhance the KYS: Ce/Tb performance, trap depth engineering via equivalent substitution Gd → Y is further executed. The colorimetric/photometric analyses here provide new insights into designing novel stable and single-phased phosphor for applications in advanced anticounterfeiting technology and optical thermometry.

Cerium modification modulates the surface acidity and metal-support interactions of the Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst. • Cerium species can not only suppress the formation of strong acid sites, but also regulate the adsorption configuration of pyridine molecules. • The enhanced electron transfer from cerium to nickel improves the reducibility and hydrogen activation performance of nickel. • The Ni/Al–Ce(10) catalyst achieves high catalytic activity in the pyridine hydrogenation reaction. To address the key challenge of achieving both high conversion and high selectivity in the selective hydrogenation of pyridine, this paper proposes a strategy of precisely modulating the surface acidity and metal–support interaction of an alumina support via cerium (Ce) modification. The study shows that Ce modification effectively suppresses the strong acid sites on the alumina surface, thereby promoting the desorption of the target product, piperidine. Meanwhile, Ce doping induces a flat-lying adsorption configuration of pyridine molecules, which is more favorable for the saturation hydrogenation of the aromatic ring, significantly enhancing the hydrogenation selectivity. Ce species facilitate electron transfer to the nickel active centers, increasing the local electron density around the nickel sites. This reduces the binding energy of nickel, enhances its reducibility, and effectively inhibits the formation of nickel aluminate spinel (NiAl 2 O 4 ), thereby improving the intrinsic hydrogenation activity of the catalyst. Under the reaction condition of 200 °C, the Ni/Al–Ce (10) catalyst achieves a pyridine conversion of 99.5% and a piperidine selectivity of 97.4%.

Electrocatalytic water splitting has become one of the most promising and effective ways to solve energy crises and environmental pollution. In this work, a series of M-doped Co 3 O 4 materials with foreign ions (M = Ce, Ni and Fe) were grown on a Ni foam substrate through classical hydrothermal and calcination methods. It is worth noting that not all doping of foreign ions can promote the electrocatalytic performance of intrinsic materials. The Ce-doped Co 3 O 4 material shows excellent oxidation properties of water (overpotential of 320 mV at 50 mA cm −2 ) and urea (potential of 1.39 V at 50 mA cm −2 ). However, the doping of Ni reduces the water oxidation performance of the intrinsic material (overpotential of 410 mV@ 50 mA cm −2 ), and the doping of Fe reduces the urea oxidation performance of the inherent material (potential of 1.45 V@ 50 mA cm −2 ). A series of experimental results indicate that the improved activity of the Ce-Co 3 O 4 electrode is attributed to faster electron transport capacity, higher exposure to active sites, and improved conductivity due to doping of Ce. It is noteworthy that the doping of these ions does alter the rate-determination step for the water oxidation reaction. The stability test demonstrated that the current density of water oxidation and urea oxidation of the catalyst had no significant attenuation after a long electrocatalytic activity test. This work provides a new idea for improving the electrocatalytic activity of catalysts by a doping strategy.

Transition metal-based electrocatalysts are the promising candidates to substitute noble metal-based catalysts for water electrolysis, owing to its abundant earth reserves and inexpensive fabrication costs. Interface engineering and cation doping engineering are verified as the effective methods to improve the sluggish electrocatalytic performance of transition metal-based electrocatalysts. Here, we synthesized a self-supported heterostructure of Ce doped Co(OH) 2 nanosheets/CoP nanowires on the support of nickel foam (Ce-Co(OH) 2 /CoP/NF) by simple hydrothermal method , low-temperature phosphorization method. The Ce atom doping can lead to lattice distortion and abundant superficial defects on crystal surface, which will generate more active sites and faster charges transformation. The heterointerface between Ce-Co(OH) 2 and CoP also can lead to electronic structure modulation at interface domain, which not can induce much fresh active sites in this area, but can optimize the active sites to the optimal state for superior catalytic activity. Benefitting from these, it only needs the overpotentials of 253 and 56 mV to realize 10 mA/cm 2 for OER and HER under 1 M KOH solution, which is much enhance than single-phased samples. As the bifunctional electrocatalyst for two-electrode system, it merely requires 1.53 V to attain 10 mA/cm 2 in 1 M KOH, and it also exhibits outstanding overall water splitting performance in alkaline natural electrolyte, along with excellent catalytic long-time durability. In addition, the Ce-Co(OH) 2 /CoP/NF-based electrolyzer also could achieve energy-saving hydrogen production, and simultaneously oxidative degradation of organic materials or biomass upgrading at anode under lower voltages. This work paves a novel idea to fabricate high-efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for energy-saving H 2 production.

U, Sr, Pb, Nd, and Hf isotope ratios can provide basic and important information of nuclear materials. We established a simple and efficient column chemistry method using nano-NaBiO 3, as both oxidizer and adsorbent, to completely separate Ce from rare earth elements (REEs). This new method exhibited a high decontamination (Ce/Nd < 10 −5 ) ability and was easy to conducted, thereby providing clear advantages compared to traditional liquid–liquid and solid phase micro-extraction techniques. Additionally, a rapid four-column separation procedure, based on Sr, TUR, Ln resins and nano-NaBiO 3 , was developed to isolate U, Sr, Pb, Nd, and Hf in ore samples. The entire procedure could be completed in 4–5 hrs. The robustness of the proposed method was demonstrated by analyzing the 235 U/ 238 U, 87 Sr/ 86 Sr, 206 Pb/ 204 Pb, 207 Pb/ 204 Pb, 208 Pb/ 204 Pb, 142 Nd/ 144 Nd, 143 Nd/ 144 Nd, and 176 Hf/ 177 Hf isotopic ratios of two certified reference materials (CRMs). The analytical results obtained using this method showed good agreement with previously published data. The feasibility of this method was extended to the determination of isotope ratios in uranium ores . The results obtained from the two samples with different regions indicated that they have different isotopic ratios information. These findings indicate the potential for the use of this new method in nuclear forensic science.

This paper reports the syntheses of a series of polychromatic pigments with the general formula LiAl 1- x M x (MoO 4 ) 2 (M = Fe, Pr, Ho, Nd, Er, Ce; x = 0–0.4) and the characterization of near-infrared reflectance properties. The synthesized pigments exhibited green (Pr), lavender (Nd), pink (Er) and different yellows (Fe, Ho, Ce). The XRD patterns of typical LiAl 1- x Fe x (MoO 4+δ ) 2 samples show that the prepared samples are triclinic lithium aluminum molybdate structures with space group P -1.The iron in the sample mainly existed in the form of Fe 3+ , which led to the directional growth of grains with different morphologies. The near-infrared solar reflectance (R*%) of LiAl 1- x Fe x (MoO 4 ) 2 pigments reached 94.19%. As the doping concentration of rare earth was increased, the color of the pigments gradually deepens. By introducing rare earth elements Pr, Ho, Nd, Er, and Ce into the LiAl(MoO 4 ) 2 matrix, the color of the pigment was successfully changed from white to green, lavender, pink, and yellow, indicating that doping can control the color of the pigment. Moreover, the prepared pigments had high R*% (>87%), indicating that the pigment samples have excellent thermal insulation properties and can be used as a new type of reflective thermal insulation coatings.

Different ligand functionalized bimetallic organic framework ((Zr/Ce)UiO-66- X ( X = H, NO 2 , NH 2 and (OH) 2 ) solids-supported phosphotungstic acid (HPW) has been fabricated through a facile impregnation process, and used in the esterification of methanol with oleic acid (OA). The obtained composites were characterized by FTIR , XRD, NH 3 -TPD, SEM-EDS, N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, TG , Py-FTIR, and XPS. The characterization analysis shows that the HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO 2 composite possesses the proper catalytic features, such as the greatest number of both strong Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, wider pores, relatively high surface area, and the existence of synergistic catalytic effects between HPW and (Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO 2 framework. In the screening, the maximum OA conversion rate using (Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO 2 , HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO 2 , HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66, HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NH 2 , HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-(OH) 2 catalysts is 13.7%, 91.6%, 81.6%, 80.7%, and 72.6% at 110 °C for 3 h, respectively. Moreover, the HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO 2 catalyst presents the better reusability over four cycles. Besides these, the HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO 2 catalyzed esterification reaction is estimated to have an activation energy of 33.7 kJ/mol. This present study provides an effective route for realizing biofuel production on an industrial scale involving heteropolyacids/bimetallic MOFs synergistic catalysts.

The emerging laser-driven phosphor-converted white laser diodes (w-LDs) demand highly efficient and thermally stable color converters. To this end, the Ce 3+ luminescence in the rekindled La–Si–O–N host, and the impacts of NH 4 Cl flux and post-processing are investigated systematically. On the basis of the XRD results, well crystalline Ce 3+ -doped La 5 Si 3 O 12 N and LaSiO 2 N are obtained at 1600 °C for 5 h and 1500 °C for 4 h, respectively. Impressively, the representative La 5 Si 3 O 12 N:0.04Ce 3+ and LaSiO 2 N:0.03Ce 3+ exhibit a broad excitation band from 240 nm to 400 nm, peaking at around 360 nm, which is well matched with emission from near-UV (n-UV) chip. Under excitation by a n-UV laser, the La 5 Si 3 O 12 N:0.04Ce 3+ and LaSiO 2 N:0.03Ce 3+ produce bright blue light in a wide emission band from 360 nm to 550 nm. The CIE chromaticity diagram reveals the tunability of the hue of these phosphors. The quenching temperature is determined to be 396 K and 429 K for La 5 Si 3 O 12 N:0.04Ce 3+ and LaSiO 2 N:0.03Ce 3+ respectively, indicating superior thermal stability. The addition of 3 wt% NH 4 Cl flux much enhances the emission intensity of both La 5 Si 3 O 12 N:0.04Ce 3+ and LaSiO 2 N:0.03Ce 3+ . Furthermore, the post-treatments markedly improve the luminescence properties by increasing the crystallinity , reducing the surface defect , and changing the morphology. Therefore, it is believed that the present work has promising applications in LD lighting and promoting the development of laser display.
