Manganese oxides supported palygorskite (MnOx/PG) catalysts used for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3was modified by doping cerium oxide as additive for enhancement of its performance. The effects of doped cerium content on catalysts' activity were investigated. It was found that the NO removal efficiency of Mn8Ce5/PG catalyst was remarkably higher than Mn8/PG catalyst especially at low temperatures, revealing that the addition of cerium oxide effectively enhanced the catalysts' SCR activity. Catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, XPS to explore the relation between structural properties and increasing in SCR activity via modification. Results showed that the doping of cerium oxide has improved the dispersion of manganese oxides as active species. And furthermore, the stability of surface MnO2was also improved which was suggested to be the main reason for the enhancement of catalysts' activity.

Micrometer sized polyelectrolyte capsules have been fabricated by employing the layer-by-layer adsorption technique on charged colloidal particles with subsequent decomposition and removal of the core. Based on the permeable properties of capsules, the fluorescent proteins, R-Phycoerythrins are used to examine protein load behaviors. The loading of R-PE on capsules depends on intramolecular electrostatic attraction and intermolecular repulsion interaction. The loading rules on positively charged capsules (PSS/PAH)4and negatively charged capsules (PSS/PAH)4PSS are different, although R-PEs demonstrates the largest load capacity around isoelectric point, which is almost independent of surface charge of the capsules. In the case, driving force of encapsulation of protein into the capsule is hydrophobic mainly, while the fluorescent protein is absorbed on the shell of positively charged capsule (PSS/PAH)4. However, the R-PE was completely encapsulated into negatively charged capsules (PSS/PAH)4PSS. Therefore, compared to the positively charged capsules, negatively charged capsules is more favorable to macromolecules permeating into the capsule interior. Based on the Freundlich model, it can be concluded that capsules take up proteins on surface by multilayer adsorption.
