Facile synthesis, characterization and low-temperature catalytic performance of Au/CeO2 nanorods

Enhanced catalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin over Ce-doped OMS-2 microspheres

“…The increase of SLO could be explained as the increase of surface defect created more sites for the dissociative adsorption of oxygen molecule. The significant decrease of BOlat indicated the enhanced mobility of bulk Olat after the doping of Ce, probably due to the formation of oxygen vacancies which facilitated the transportation of Olat from bulk to surface [28]. The existence of the redox couple Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ in Ce(0.48)-OMS-2 also enhanced the formation of oxygen vacancies [29,30].…”

Nanoceria Tween-assisted synthesis, characterization, photocatalytic efficiency and antimicrobial activity

“…Whereas, the strong broad band below 700 cm-1 corresponds typically to Ce-O stretching vibration mode [49] confirming the formation of pure ceria (CeO 2 ). Residual water and hydroxyl groups absorbed from atmosphere are usually detected in the as-synthesized nanoceria samples regardless the synthetic method used [50][51][52][53] .…”

Tuning the Morphology of Metal Oxides for Catalytic Applications

“…CeO 2 nanorods with diameters of 20-30 nm and lengths up to tens of micrometers were early used to deposit Au-NPs with crystallite sizes of 10-20 nm, but the activity for CO oxidation was not so impressive perhaps because of the large sizes of the two components. 360 Gold clusters supported on ceria nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanocubes were recently examined for CO oxidation 361,362 and preferential oxidation of CO in rich hydrogen. 363,364 The shape of ceria particles significantly affected the dispersion of Au-NPs and subsequently the Au-CeO 2 interactions.…”
