Well-crystalline CeO(2-x) nanotubes are synthesized via a mild hydrothermal reaction route using cerium nitrate and ammonium hydroxide as reactants. The CeO(2-x) nanotubes have the same structure as the bulk CeO2 but larger lattice parameter. The measurement of the ratio of M5/M4 edge shows the valence reduction of cerium ions for the CeO(2-x) nanotubes.

The large-scale production and ecotoxicity of urea make its removal from wastewater a health and environmental challenge. Whereas the industrial removal of urea relies on hydrolysis at elevated temperatures and high pressure, nature solves the urea disposal problem with the enzyme urease under ambient conditions. We show that CeO2-x nanorods (NRs) act as the first and efficient green urease mimic that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea under ambient conditions with an activity (kcat = 9.
