For the effective utilization of carbon resources, a facile and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst system with high reactivity and stability is urgently needed for chemical fixation of CO 2 . Herein, a micro/nanostructured ZIF-8/CeO 2 composite was designed by direct surface-nucleated ZIF-8 nanoparticles on spindle-like CeO 2 . The ZIF-8 nanoparticles content of the ZIF-8/CeO 2 composite could be tuned by the changing of reaction parameters, such as the molar ratio of reactants and the reaction time. The ZIF-8/CeO 2 composite exhibits remarkably enhanced catalytic activity and superior reusability for cycloaddition reaction of CO 2 and epoxide than its pure substance. The enhanced performance of ZIF-8/CeO 2 composite should be attributed to its high specific surface area and abundant porosity, outstanding thermal stability, and the appearance of a new moderate acid/base site in composite material. Considering the convenient preparation, enhanced catalytic activity and excellent reusability of ZIF-8/CeO 2 composite, this work offers a new strategy to replace ZIFs-based porous catalysts for chemical fixation of CO 2 .

Metal dioxide nanoparticles (NPs) are produced in ever-increasing amounts and widely used in industrial, medical and consumer products. They may pose potential risks to the environment. In this study we quantitatively evaluated the phytoavailability of CeO 2 NPs, ZrO 2 NPs and SiO 2 NPs to wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). Metal dioxide NPs showed distinct differences in uptake, with uptake rate constants of 90.2 ± 9.9, 12.2 ± 2.5, 0.4 ± 0.02 and 0.9 ± 0.1 L kg −1 h −1 for ZrO 2 NPs, CeO 2 NPs, SiO 2 NPs (13 nm) and SiO 2 NPs (25 nm), respectively. However, such difference cannot be generalized by single factor of NP characteristics and/or root damage. This study provides fundamental information for NP uptake by crop plants.

Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is relatively easy to make and has been used in various terrorist acts. Early but easy detection of TATP is highly desired. We designed a new type sensor array for H 2 O 2 . The unique CL sensor array was based on CeO 2 nanoparticles' membranes, which have an excellent catalytic effect on the luminol–H 2 O 2 CL reaction in alkaline medium . It exhibits a linear range for the detection of H 2 O 2 from 1.0×10 −8 to 5.0×10 −5 M ( R 2 =0.9991) with a 1 s response time. The detection limit is 1.0×10 −9 M. Notably, the present approach allows the design of CL sensor array assays in a more simple, time-saving, long-lifetime, high-throughput, and economical approach when compared with conventional CL sensor. It is conceptually different from conventional CL sensor assays. The novel sensor array has been successfully applied for the detection of TATP at the scene.

Ozonation process is a promising yet challenging method for the removal of refractory organic matter due to the sluggish reaction for generating hydroxyl radical (˙OH) at a neutral pH condition. Herein, an efficient heterogeneous catalytic ozonation system using CeO2/Al2O3 catalyst was developed to remove dimethyl phthalate (DMP) from wastewater. Under a neutral condition of pH = 6, this system achieved almost 100% DMP removal within 15 min at an optimized catalyst dosage of 30 g L−1 and the ozone flow rate of 22.5 mg min−1. Moreover, the catalytic ozonation system exhibited a stable degradation performance of DMP in a wider pH range (pH = 5–10). The results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quantitative tests confirmed the ultrafast conversion of O3 to ˙OH (0.774 μM min−1) on the surface of CeO2 based ceramic catalyst. The quenching experiments further supported the predominant role of ˙OH in the mineralization of DMP. These results highlight the potential of using the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation system for the efficient removal of refractory organic matter from wastewater.

Building narrow band gap semiconductors and fast separation of photogenerated electron-hole (e - -h + ) structures are of great significance for photocatalytic process. In this contribution, the CeO 2-x /C 3-y N 4 /Ce(CO 3 )(OH) double S-scheme heterojunctions with atomic vacancies tunable band gap (2.54 eV) have been designed and fabricated as a boost photocatalyst for enrofloxacin (ENR) photodegradation. Compared with the control samples, the experimental results indicate that the typical sample (CeO 2-x /C 3-y N 4 /Ce(CO 3 )(OH)-2) achieves the highest ENR photodegradation efficiency (93.6 %) in 240 min under a pH of 6, and the possible photodegradation pathways are also proposed. The superior performance is ascribed to the CeO 2-x /C 3-y N 4 /Ce(CO 3 )(OH) double S-scheme heterojunctions for selective recombination of photogenerated electrons with weak-reduction ability in conduction band (CB) of CeO 2-x , C 3-y N 4 and the photogenerated holes with weak-oxidation nature in valance band (VB) of C 3-y N 4 , Ce(CO 3 )(OH), which increase the retention rate of photogenerated electrons in CB of Ce(CO 3 )(OH) and photogenerated holes in VB of CeO 2-x to degrade ENR. This is the first systematic study of CeO 2-x /C 3-y N 4 /Ce(CO 3 )(OH) double S-scheme heterojunctions for ENR photodegradation.

The widespread use of carbendazim (CBZ) fungicide calls for monitoring its toxic residues in food due to human health concerns. Herein, a Ru/CeO 2-x heterostructured composite was constructed by sodium borohydride reduction for the electrochemical sensing of CBZ. The rational design engineers abundant interfacial oxygen vacancies and Ru nanoclusters, which form interfacial Lewis acid-base pairs capable of dual-site recognition of CBZ molecules. Specifically, oxygen-vacancy Lewis acidic sites preferentially adsorb the electron-rich groups(such as lone pairs on amino groups), while Ru-based Lewis basic sites capture electron-deficient carbon atoms within the benzimidazole ring. Such synergistic adsorption and interfacial charge transfer markedly enhance the redox kinetics of CBZ. Consequently, the Ru/CeO 2-x /GCE sensor delivers an ultralow detection limit of 7.7 nM, along with excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and long-term stability. This work provides a new interfacial engineering strategy integrating oxygen-defect chemistry and electronic modulation for designing high-performance Lewis acid–base coupled sensing materials.

The Gd 0.1 Ce 0.9- x Sr x O 2-δ ( x = 0, 0.01, 0.04, 0.07) electrolytes were synthesized via the citric acid-EDTA combustion method as electrolyte materials for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs), aiming to enhance ionic conductivity and mechanical stability of SOFCs at intermediate-to-high temperatures. Sr²⁺ doping improved electrolyte densification, increased grain volume, and reduced grain boundary density, thereby enhancing the dielectric constant. These modifications decreased both intragrain and grain boundary resistances and facilitated oxygen ion migration. At 500°C, the optimized Gd 0.1 Ce 0.86 Sr 0.04 O 2-δ exhibited a 6.4-fold increase in ionic conductivity and a 50% reduction in activation energy compared to Gd 0.1 Ce 0.9 O 1.95 . This enhancement was partially attributed to the improved scavenging coefficient of Gd 0.1 Ce 0.86 Sr 0.04 O 2-δ , whose blocking factor decreased by approximately 43% relative to Gd 0.1 Ce 0.9 O 1.95 . Dielectric property analysis elucidated the contribution of Gd-Sr synergistic effects to interfacial polarization.In terms of mechanical properties, the 4GSDC sample demonstrated a 13.5% increase in Vickers hardness, 69.7% improvement in fracture toughness, and 24.91% enhancement in flexural strength compared to GDC. At 750°C, single cells with the 4GSDC electrolyte achieved a power density of 1100 mW/cm², representing a 55.4% improvement over GDC. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that Sr²⁺ incorporation effectively reduced binding energy and migration barriers. Therefore, Sr-Gd co-doping can be regarded as an effective strategy to enhance the performance of ceria-based electrolytes in IT-SOFCs.

Hydrogen, which is a clean energy carrier, requires efficient storage for large-scale application. Although TiFe-based hydrogen storage alloys possess outstanding storage capabilities, they are susceptible to impurity gas poisoning (CO, CO2, CH4, O2) during practical use, leading to performance decay. In this work, a TiFe0.9 alloy coated with 10 wt % CeO2 was synthesized via high-energy ball milling. Through material characterizations and systematic hydrogen storage performance tests, it was revealed that the uniform CeO2 nanolayer coating introduces a substantial amount of oxygen vacancies derived from Ce3+. These vacancies serve as preferential reaction sites for impurity gases as well as form oxides at the interface, effectively inhibiting further Ti oxidation and preserving active hydrogen adsorption sites. Remarkably, in hydrogen containing 0.1% O2, the TiFe0.9-CeO2 composite material exhibits a capacity retention rate of 27%, compared to the ball-milled alloy which suffered a complete loss after 20 cycles. This work presents a low-cost and simple approach for developing durable TiFe-based hydrogen storage materials with an enhanced tolerance to impurity-induced poisoning, supporting their practical application in hydrogen energy systems.

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitro compounds to amines under mild conditions offers an alternative strategy to traditional hydrogenation processes involving pressurized molecular hydrogen, which necessitate the rational design and integration of multifunctional catalyst. Herein, a ternary composite catalyst (Pd/CeO 2 -C 3 N 4 ) was designed and synthesized for the transfer hydrogenation of nitro compounds to corresponding amines compounds using formic acid as hydrogen donor. The Pd/CeO 2 -C 3 N 4 catalyst shows remarkably high performance for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene (NB) to aniline (BA), achieving > 98 % conversion and exceedingly high selectivity (>99 %). The catalyst exhibits a high turnover frequency (TOF) of up to 2868 h - , significantly surpassing both the reference catalyst (Pd/C 3 N 4 and Pd/CeO 2 ) and the conventional Pd/C catalyst. The multi-functional Pd/CeO 2 -C 3 N 4 catalyst features enhanced electron transfer properties,well-exposed Pd active sites, and abundant acid-base sites, enabling effective enhancement of formic acid dehydrogenation and nitro group activation. Moreover, Pd/CeO 2 -C 3 N 4 demonstrates excellent recyclability and a broad substrate scope for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of various nitro compounds. The rational design of Pd/CeO 2 -C 3 N 4 will broaden the application range of Pd-based catalysts and provide a sustainable and effective approach for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of other industrially relevant organic compounds.

The development of metal-free strategies for selective transfer hydrogenation is of particular interest in the conversion of biomass. Herein, the interfacial frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) constructed in CeO 2 (1 1 0) surface have been successfully demonstrated as novel catalytic active sites for the highly selective transfer hydrogenation. The defect-enriched porous nanorods of CeO 2 with interfacial FLP sites show the >99.0% selectivity at 95.2% conversion for transfer hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. Mechanism investigations exhibit that the interfacial FLP sites can simultaneously activate furfural and isopropanol, which benefits the enhanced catalytic activity. While, the strong adsorption of aldehyde compounds on the interfacial FLP sites results in the improved hydrogenation and the suppressed pathway of the side-reaction, thereby achieving the superior catalytic selectivity. Such interfacial FLP sites exhibit the great potentials for the selective transfer hydrogenation of various unsaturated compounds.

Eliminating indoor formaldehyde (HCHO) pollution at room temperature is highly needed to improve the environment while saving energy. Herein, Pd/CeO2 catalysts with different morphologies of the CeO2 support were employed to investigate their performance for HCHO oxidation. The Pd/CeO2 nanocube (Pd/CeO2-C) catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity compared to commercial CeO2 and CeO2 nanorods. HCHO can be completely converted into CO2 and H2O over the Pd/CeO2-C (0.64 wt% Pd) catalyst at a weight hourly space velocity of 36 000 mL g−1 h−1 at room temperature. Multiple characterization results confirmed that the strong interfacial interaction between Pd and the CeO2-C support guarantees a high percentage of metallic Pd on the CeO2-C surface and its high dispersion, which is crucial for the oxidation of formaldehyde at low temperature. The in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform results indicated that CO, formate and dioxymethylene species are the main intermediates over the Pd/CeO2-C catalyst, and the active O species is responsible for their decomposition and oxidation. This work may promote the practical application of high performance Pd-based catalysts for indoor HCHO purification and related catalytic processes.

Ordered mesoporous Ag/CeO2 catalysts have been successfully synthesized by a microwave assisted soft template method. The morphology, structure and chemical composition of the catalyst were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, SEM, EDS, TEM and XPS. The study of catalytic performance and reaction kinetics of organic matter degradation in acrylonitrile wastewater was performed in a catalytic wet peroxide (CWPO) system. The degradation pathways of organic matter in acrylonitrile wastewater were elucidated by temporal evolution of intermediates and final products detected by GC/MS analysis along with a continuous flow experiment study. The results show that the Ag/CeO2 has an ordered mesoporous structure, the specific surface area is 91.4–118.2 m2 g−1 and the average pore size is 12.63–16.86 nm. 0.4-Ag/CeO2 showed the best catalytic performance, the COD removal rate reached 94.6%, which was 30% higher than that of CeO2. The degradation is in accordance with the second-order reaction kinetics of the Arrhenius empirical model and Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model. However the latter fits better, and the linear correlation coefficient R2 is more than 0.98, which describes the adsorption catalytic mechanism of Ag/CeO2. According to the analysis by GC/MS, the organic compounds in acrylonitrile wastewater oxidized into intermediate compounds and other small compounds, then are further oxidized into carbon dioxide and water. The catalytic activity of Ag/CeO2 was the result of the combination of Lewis acid–base position of CeO2 and redox cycle of Ce3+/Ce4+.
