A quasi in situ X-ray absorption study demonstrated that the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) promoted by ceria nanorods was associated with a reversible Ce(3+)/Ce(4+) reaction and structural transformations in ceria. The direction of this reversible reaction was postulated to depend on the H2O2 concentration and the fraction of Ce(3+) species in ceria nanorods.

The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is one of the most significant reactions in hydrogen technology since it can be used directly to produce hydrogen from the reaction of CO and water; it is also a side reaction taking place in the hydrocarbon reforming processes, determining their selectivity towards H production. The development of highly active WGS catalysts, especially at temperatures below ~450 °C, where the reaction is thermodynamically favored but kinetically limited, remains a challenge. From a fundamental point of view, the reaction mechanism is still unclear.

Herein, we propose a general route of obtaining reduced graphene oxide and metal oxide nanocomposite, demonstrated by cerium, dysprosium, and neodymium sesquioxides, via ultrafast redox reaction (URR). This method utilizes a very fast heating of graphene oxide and a metal salt without any chemical solvents or special reactors. Off the scene tests showed that different ratios of graphene oxide to metal salt change the metal oxide particle size.

Backgroud: Recently, optical nanomaterials have attracted much attention in the field of electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Nanostructured ceria possessed unique optical properties, and it's always used for constructing ECL sensor as catalyst for improving sensing performance, while the ECL property of ceria is rarely studied. In fact, it could be the potential candidate for applying in ECL sensors based on size and shape dependency optical property caused by the quantum scale effects.

Metal-semiconductor nanozyme of dumbbell Au-CeO with spatially separated heterostructure has cascade superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like and peroxidase (POD)-like activities for superoxide anions detection. It was synthesized by selective growth of CeO at the ends of Au nanorod (Au NR). Taking advantage of the excellent local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Au NR, the spatially separated Au-CeO has a higher photothermal effect than the continuously growing core-shell structure of Au@CeO.
