Article Abstract
For Au-ceria catalysts prepared by deposition-precipitation method, the catalytic performance of water gas shift reaction was studied with different La loadings. In the complete doping range, ceria retains with its cubic fluorite structures. XRD, HRTEM and UV-Vis-DRS, studies showed that La doping can improve the activity of Au-ceria catalyst by stabilizing ceria and modifying its morphology. In addition, the test of catalyst stability evaluation also proved, that a better stability performance of Au-ceria catalyst can be realized by appropriate La doping. The Au/CL5.0 sample with 5 at % La doping showed the best performance in WGS reaction.

Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in light-to-fuels conversion have led to the development of a new photocatalyst combining plasmonic gold (Au), ceria (CeO), and graphene (Gr), enhancing hydrogen production significantly.
- The Au@CeO/Gr photocatalyst achieves an impressive hydrogen production rate of 8.0 μmol mg h and a high maximum quantum yield efficiency of 38.4% at 560 nm, outperforming existing catalysts.
- Key improvements stem from three factors: the generation of hot electrons via plasmon resonance, the conductivity of the graphene shell aiding in hydrogen evolution reactions, and the effective adsorption of hydrogen atoms on the defect-rich surface of the Au@CeO material.

ConspectusBecause ceria (CeO) is a key ingredient in the formulation of many catalysts, its catalytic roles have received a great amount of attention from experiment and theory. Its primary function is to enhance the oxidation activity of catalysts, which is largely governed by the low activation barrier for creating lattice O vacancies. Such an important characteristic of ceria has been exploited in CO oxidation, methane partial oxidation, volatile organic compound oxidation, and the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction and in the context of automotive applications.
