New precious-metal-free mesoporous materials were investigated as catalysts for the complete oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide. Mesoporous cobalt oxide was first synthesized using KIT-6 mesoporous silica as a hard template. After removal of the silica, the cobalt oxide was itself used as a hard template to construct cerium oxide/cobalt oxide composite materials. Furthermore, cerium oxide/cobalt oxide composite materials doped with manganese and lanthanum were also prepared. All of the new composite materials retained the hierarchical long-range order of the original KIT-6 template. Temperature-programmed oxidation measurements showed that these cerium oxide/cobalt oxide and doped cerium oxide/cobalt oxide materials are effective catalysts for the total oxidation of methane, with a light-off temperature (T50%) of ∼400 °C observed for all of the nanostructured materials.

The advanced oxidation process based on S(IV) has garnered increasing attention, owing to its efficiency in degrading contaminants. Here, a cobalt-doped cerium oxide catalyst (Co-CeO) was employed to activate calcium sulfite (CaSO) for imidacloprid degradation. The Co-CeO catalyst was characterized by using SEM, BET, XRD, and XPS techniques to analyze its structural and chemical properties.

Article Synopsis
  • Extensive use of fossil fuels leads to high CO2 emissions, necessitating the development of eco-friendly energy storage materials.
  • Hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) are emerging materials that provide quick charging and high capacitance retention, with the current study focusing on a composite of g-CN nanosheets and CoO/CeO heterostructures as effective electrodes.
  • The CoCe/g-CN electrodes demonstrate significantly higher specific capacitance (1088.3 F/g) and impressive stability (96% over 5000 cycles), making them promising options for advanced energy storage solutions.

Hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) is extensively utilized due to its numerous therapeutic effects. Because of its properties of high solubility, persistence, bioaccumulation, and biotoxicity, HCQ can potentially affect water bodies and human health. In this study, the LaCoMoO-CeO material was successfully prepared by the sol-gel process, and it was applied to the experiment of degrading HCQ by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS).

The long-term operation feature of enzymatic biofuel cell-based self-powered biosensor (EBFC-SPB) endows them with the potential to execute dual-signal biosensing without having to integrate an extra signal acquisition device. Herein, cobalt and manganese codoped CeO nanospheres (CoMn-CeO NSs) with glucose-oxidase-like and peroxidase-like activities have been developed as substrate-switched dual-channel signal transduction components in EBFC-SPB for a dual-signal assay of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The CoMn-CeO NSs modified with aptamer are anchored to a complementary DNA-attached bioanode of EBFC-SPB by base complementary pairing, which catalyze the glucose oxidation together with the glucose oxidase (GOx) on the bioanode.
