Direct fabrication of core-shell or yolk-shell functional nanomaterials via a facile template-free method remains a challenge. In this work, we present a novel approach that involves straightforward chemical transformation and thermal treatment of the infinite coordination polymer particles to obtain composition-tunable CeO(2) yolk-shell structures. Uniform CeO(2) yolk-shell hollow spheres with a high surface area are promising support materials for tiny gold nanoparticles (ca. 4 nm), forming Au-CeO(2) nanocomposites which exhibit a remarkable catalytic activity and high stability for the reduction of p-nitrophenol. A possible mechanism for the formation of CeO(2) yolk-shell microspheres is also proposed.

Triple-Combination Therapy with a Multifunctional Yolk-Shell Nanozyme Au@CeO Loaded with Dimethyl Fumarate for Periodontitis.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

December 2024

Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease, is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and is one of the most prevalent and complex oral conditions. Oxidative stress induced by the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to periodontitis, which is closely associated with pathological processes, including mitochondrial dysfunction of periodontal cells and local immune dysregulation. However, current treatment modalities that target single pathological processes have limited long-term therapeutic effects.

The Electron Migration Polarization Boosting Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Based on Ce Atoms Modulated yolk@shell FeN@NGC.

Adv Mater

Beijing Key Laboratory for Magnetoelectric Materials and Devices, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Peking University, Beijing, 100871, China.

The electron migration polarization is considered as a promising approach to optimize electromagnetic waves (EMW) dissipation. However, it is still difficult to realize well-controlled electron migration and elucidate the related EMW loss mechanisms for current researches. Herein, a novel FeN@NGC/Ce system to construct an effective electron migration model based on the electron leaps among the 4f/5d/6s orbitals of Ce ions is explored.

To broaden the reaction temperature range and improve the HO-resistance of manganese-based catalysts, yolk-shell structured MnFe@CeO@TiO nanocages were prepared. The CeO shell could effectively increase the oxygen vacancy defect sites, and the TiO shell could remarkably improve the surface acid sites. Combining the advantages of the two shells could effectively solve the above questions.

Recently, it is still a great challenge to develop a new type of absorber that possesses special advantages of low cost, ultrawide bandwidth, and strong absorption intensity. Herein, the unique "Matryoshka doll"-like CeO microspheres with tunable interspaces were successfully synthesized by a facile and template-free method. The as-synthesized hierarchical yolk-shell CeO microspheres were constructed by a layer of outer shell and multiple inner cores.
