The responses of periphytic biofilm to CeO 2 nanoparticle (CNP) exposure were explored by investigating community shifts and pollutant removal. Results showed that CNPs entered the sensitive microbial cells in the periphytic biofilm, leading to cytomembrane damage and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The periphytic biofilm communities were, however, able to adapt to the prolonged exposure and maintain their pollutant removal (i.e., phosphorus, nitrogen and copper, organic matter) performance. Observations under synchrotron radiation scanning transmission X-ray microscopy revealed that fewer CNPs were distributed in algal cells compared to bacterial cells, wherein the transformation between Ce(IV) and Ce(III) occurred. High-throughput sequencing further showed that the proportion of algae, such as Leptolyngbya and Nostoc, significantly increased in the periphytic biofilm exposed to CNPs while the proportion of bacteria, such as Bacilli and Gemmatimonadetes, decreased. This change in community composition might be the primary reason for the sustained pollutant removal performance of the periphytic biofilm.

The reaction of methanol and CO 2 is an ideal route for the utilization of CO 2 resources and the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), which is an important fuel and fuel-additive. In this work, we developed a catalyst of CeO 2 nanoparticles (CeO 2 NPs) loaded on Co 3 O 4 nanosheets (Co 3 O 4 NSs) with the Ce/Co molar ratio of 3/7 (Ce 3 -NPs/Co 7 -NSs) which could efficiently catalyze the reaction. The formation activity and the yield of DMC reached 16.8 mmol·g cat -1 ·h −1 and 47.2 % (based on methanol), surpassing most reported catalysts, especially at a relatively low temperature of 120 ℃. Characterization results indicated that the Co 3 O 4 NSs could enhance the amounts of oxygen vacancies and CO 2 adsorption but reduce methanol adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium between methanol and CO 2 is crucial for the titled reaction, and the in-situ IR spectra confirmed that the catalyst could simultaneously activate CO 2 and methanol and the reaction involves a Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH) mechanism. The present strategy for constructing a catalyst of CeO 2 nanoparticles loaded on Co 3 O 4 nanosheets provides an efficient catalyst for the DMC synthesis from CO 2 and methanol and offers an important reference in building other catalysts with adjustable adsorption capacities of CO 2 and methanol.

In present work, the ternary Ni-Ti-CeO 2 composite coatings were electrodeposited on Al matrix composite (CNT/7075) in traditional Watts' solution containing various concentrations of CeO 2 nanoparticles and constant concentration of Ti microparticles . The effects of CeO 2 nanoparticles on microstructure and corrosion resistance of the obtained composite coatings were comprehensively investigated. The incorporation of moderate CeO 2 nanoparticles (less than 10 g L − 1 in Watts' solution) gave rise to grain refinement, random-orientation growth of nickel deposit and smooth surface of the composite coating. Corrosion tests of the Ni-Ti-CeO 2 composite coatings in 3.5 wt% sodium chloride (NaCl) at 25 °C illustrated the optimised microstructure favoured the enhancement of corrosion resistance. Further analyses of the corrosion behavior demonstrated that the embedded CeO 2 nanoparticles facilitated the formation of a compact passive film on the surface of the composite coatings during corrosion and promoted the formation of TiO 2 on the surface of Ti microparticles. The formation of TiO 2 not only protected the Ti metal particles but also helped to improve the corrosion resistance of the composite coatings, because the TiO 2 coated Ti microparticles decreased the attack probability of nickel deposits by corrosive medium. Typically, the Ni-Ti-CeO 2 composite coating electrodeposited in Watts' solution containing 10 g L − 1 CeO 2 nanoparticles possessed the best corrosion resistance and excessive CeO 2 nanoparticles deteriorated the corrosion resistance.

We report a room-temperature NH3 gas sensor with high response and great long-term stability, including CeO2 NPs conformally coated by cross-linked PANI hydrogel. Such core–shell nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization with different weight ratios of CeO2 NPs and aniline. At room temperature, the nanohybrids showed enhanced response (6.5 to 50 ppm of NH3), which could be attributed to p–n junctions formed by the intimate contact between these two materials. Moreover, the stability was discussed in terms of phytic acid working as a gelator, which helped the PANI sheath accommodate itself and enhance the mechanical strength and chemical stability of the sensors by avoiding “swelling effect” in high relative humidity. The sensors maintained its sensing characteristic (response of ca. 6.5 to 50 ppm of NH3) in 15 days. Herein, the obtained results could help to accelerate the development of ammonia gas sensor.

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), as a two-dimensional lamellar material, has been paid more and more attention in the field of corrosion protection because of its excellent thermal stability, chemical stability and insulation. In order to solve the problem that h-BN is difficult to disperse in resin, inspired by the adhesion ability of mussel secretions, the surface of h-BN was modified with polydopamine (PDA) to improve the dispersion of the fillers in epoxy resin, and the prepared corrosion inhibition CeO 2 nanoparticles were loaded on the surface. A functional filler CeO 2 &PDA/h-BN with corrosion inhibition effect was prepared. The surface morphology , chemical structure and thermal stability of functional fillers were analyzed by SEM, FTIR, XRD and thermogravimetric analysis . The test results show that after 40 days of testing, the low-frequency impedance modulus of the epoxy composite coating is 15 times that of the pure epoxy resin, and the wear resistance properties also significantly improved. The anti-corrosion mechanism of the composite coating is analyzed, and the synergistic effect of h-BN's barrier ability and CeO 2 's corrosion inhibition ability is revealed. This paper provides an idea for the preparation of multifunctional h-BN composite anticorrosive filler.

Polymer functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) have a great attention in biomedical applications owing to their unique properties like regenerative antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, auto-catalytic properties, and biocompatibility. In this current work, we demonstrated a facile synthesis of Se-CeO 2 via chemical method followed by precipitation method. The prepared Se NPs were characterized by ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and the size and morphology of the NPs were analysed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Meanwhile, Se-CeO 2 NPs loaded on polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanocarrier were characterised by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), TEM, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) mapping techniques. The morphological and spectroscopic investigations of prepared nanomaterials have exhibited favourable morphological structure and chemical interactions with respective polymeric molecules, which established that nanovesicle suitability for the SCI functional recovery. We first investigated Se nanoformulated CeO 2 material for the potential healing of in vitro spinal cord study. Our results demonstrated that preparation of NPs loaded PLGA nanocarrier has provide effective spinal cord regeneration and imply that it was explored that promising nanocarrier in the SCI treatment. Se-NPs encapsulated CeO 2 nanostructures administrations for SCI therapies have greatly suppressed oxidative stress and induced anti-inflammatory action, which leads to prospective therapeutic benefits of spinal cord regeneration. These investigative results demonstrate that Se-CeO 2 NPs with PLGA carrier could have great attention for effecient functional recovery treatment and care for spinal cord injury.

Metal-based composite coatings have been widely studied for their excellent properties. In order to improve the properties of nickel tungsten boron (Ni–W–B) matrix, Ni–W–B/PC coatings were prepared by electrodeposition in the presence of polydopamine functionalized VC (P–VC) and cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles. The effect of cerium oxide content in the nanomaterials on the properties of Ni–W–B coatings was investigated. The results showed that the prepared coatings were dense, uniform, and crack-free, and the best performance was achieved at a cerium oxide content of 2 g/L. The addition of CeO2 nanoparticles can fill the tiny defects in the coating and optimize the coating structure. The addition of these two materials refines the size of the coating grains. In terms of coating performance, the corrosion resistance of the composite coating was enhanced with the addition of CeO2 at a certain P–VC concentration, and the total impedance of the composite coating was 24,030 Ω·cm2, which was 4.8 times higher than that of the Ni–W–B coating and 1.7 times higher than that of the Ni–W–B/P–VC coating. In addition, the hardness of the Ni–W–B/PC-2 composite coating reached 1033.93 HV at a CeO2 content of 2 g/L. The wear resistance of this composite coating was also optimized. Compared with the Ni–W–B/P–VC composite coating, the average coefficient of friction was reduced by 8.8%, and the wear resistance of the composite coating was further improved, which was attributed to the synergistic effect of the two materials. Moreover, the Ni–W–B/PC film has excellent hardness and corrosion resistance, which is promising for the application in harsh environments.

The major challenge in preparing polymer nanocomposites is to prevent the agglomeration of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs). Here, with regenerated cellulose (RC) films as supporting medium, UV-shielding and transparent nanocomposite films with hydrophobicity were fabricated by in situ synthesis of CeO2NPs. Facilitated through the interaction between organic and inorganic components revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) characterization, it was found that CeO2NPs were uniformly dispersed in and immobilized by a cellulose matrix. However some agglomeration of CeO2NPs occurred at higher precursor concentrations. These results suggest that the morphology and particle size of CeO2and the corresponding performance of the resulting films are affected by the porous RC films and the concentrations of Ce(NO3)3·6H2O solutions. The optimized nanocomposite film containing 2.95 wt% CeO2NPs had more than 75% light transmittance (550 nm), high UV shielding properties, and a certain hydrophobicity.

In this paper, amidogen graphene (NH2-Gr) and Au nanoparticle (NP) functionalized cerium oxide (CeO2) NPs (NH2-Gr/Au@CeO2) have been synthesized. The prepared NH2-Gr/Au@CeO2 exhibits strong electrochemiluminescence (ECL) activity which could be quenched efficiently by bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3). Based on this principle, a novel sandwich ECL immunosensor was constructed for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). NH2-Gr was used as a loading matrix for CeO2 NPs because of its superior conductivity and a large surface area. Au NPs were used to combine anti-PSA 1 (Ab1) to CeO2via the Au–NH2 covalent bond and meanwhile to enhance the sensitivity of the immunosensor. NH2-Gr/Au@CeO2 was used as the ECL response layer. Ag NP functionalized Bi2S3 was used to label the secondary antibody (Ab2). After a sandwich-type immunoreaction, a remarkable decrease of the ECL signal was observed. The signal-off sensor showed a wide linear range response from 1 pg mL−1 to 10 ng mL−1 with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.3 pg mL−1. The applicability of the proposed ECL immunosensor was evaluated by detecting PSA in human serum samples.

A magnetic core/shell CeO 2 nanometer catalyst particle of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CeO 2 for ozonation was prepared and the catalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). The characterizations of the magnetic nanoparticles, such as TEM, XRD and EDX, showed that Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CeO 2 had a ternary structure with a Fe 3 O 4 magnetic core, a silica membrane mid-layer and CeO 2 outer layer. The catalysts of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CeO 2 showed an obviously high efficiency in catalytic ozonation on the degradation of ASA, and thus could also enhance the TOC removal. The ASA removal with Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CeO 2 catalyst at 60 min could reach 81.0%, while 67.3% with Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 , 66.1% with Fe 3 O 4 and only 64.1% with ozonation alone. Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CeO 2 catalysts could also enhance the ozone utilization during the reaction. The effect of radical scavengers showed that the high removal efficiency of catalytic ozonation over Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CeO 2 may be mainly attributed to surface reactions. According to stability and recyclability test of the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CeO 2 catalysts, the results showed that the catalysts would be helpful in the separation and magnetic recyclability. In addition, based on the intermediates detected by GC/MS, a possible degradation pathway of ASA was proposed.

Ceria (CeO2) nanoparticles with haloperoxidase (HPO)-like activity have gained attention as a biologically benign antifoulant. 3,4-Dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (DOPA), a main composition in mussel foot proteins, plays a crucial role in the biofouling process. However, the impact on the HPO-like activity and antifouling performance of CeO2 nanoparticles when DOPA molecules adsorb on them remains unexplored. This interesting question warrants investigation, particularly considering that it may occur in an actual marine environment. Herein, the interaction between DOPA and CeO2 is explored. Despite the higher Ce3+ fractions and the lower band gap energies due to the electron transfer from DOPA to the CeO2 surface, DOPA still had a slightly negative effect on the HPO-like activity of CeO2 since they decreased the exposed Ce3+ sites. The DOPA-CeO2 nanocomposites with HPO-like activities could kill bacteria and trigger quorum-sensing signaling quenching, achieving a biofilm inhibition performance. Amazingly, 0.1% DOPA-CeO2 nanocomposite exhibited higher antibacterial activity and better biofilm suppression activities due to its HPO-like activity and positive zeta potential. The remarkable results demonstrated that DOPA, as a participant in the biofouling process, could enhance the antibacterial activity and antifouling performance of CeO2 nanoparticles at an appropriate concentration.

“Nanophytovirology” is a potential management approach to combat plant viral diseases. Herein, the impact of foliar application of CeO2 nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) on the growth, plant cell ultrastructure, and physiology of alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV)-infected alfalfa seedlings was explored at different concentrations and application strategies. In a solar greenhouse, 20 mL of CeO2-NP suspensions of 50, 100, 200, and 500 mg/L was sprayed onto the plant surface every other day for 9 days. As a result, the total volume applied per pot was 100 mL. It showed that the beneficial effects of CeO2-NPs on infected alfalfa seedlings were dependent on the concentration and application period. Compared to the infected control, foliar application with 100 mg/L CeO2-NPs before AMV infection (CeO2-NPs-BVI) showed the greatest virus suppression efficacy; significantly reduced the disease indices by 58.87%; improved growth, yield, and nutritional quality; and significantly increased plant height, plant dry biomass, crude protein, and crude fat contents and relative feeding value by 15.17, 37.12, 18.77, 71.19, and 10.09%, respectively. Moreover, CeO2-NPs-BVI maintained the chloroplast quantity and structure of leaf cells and significantly enhanced the chlorophyll content and photosynthesis rate of alfalfa leaves by 36.14 and 40.13%, respectively, as compared to infected control. Mechanistically, cell ultrastructure, physiology, and transcriptomic analyses revealed that (1) CeO2-NPs effectively mitigated AMV-induced chloroplast structure damage, subsequently enhancing photosynthesis and carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, providing sufficient energy and antiviral activities for maintaining plant growth and development; (2) CeO2-NPs reduced the AMV’s ability to bind to host receptors and evade host immune recognition, significantly activating and boosting plant systemic immunity by down-regulating ABA and ETH levels and upregulating SA, IAA, and BR levels; (3) CeO2-NPs activated the plant antioxidative systems to eliminate excess reactive oxygen species. These findings provide significant insight into the potential of CeO2-NPs as highly efficient antiviral agent.
