Monolithic Au/CeO nanorod frameworks (NFs) with porous structure were prepared by dealloying melt-spun AlCeAu ribbons. After calcination in O, a 3D Au/CeO NF catalyst with large surface area was obtained and used for low-temperature CO oxidation. The small Au clusters/nanoparticles (NPs) were in situ supported and highly dispersed on the nanorod surface, creating many nanoscale contact interfaces. XPS results demonstrated that high-concentration oxygen vacancy and Au /Au co-existed in the calcined sample. The Au/CeO nanorod catalyst calcined at 400 °C exhibited much higher catalytic activity for CO oxidation compared with the dealloyed sample and bare CeO nanorods. Moreover, its complete reaction temperature was as low as 91 °C. The designed Au/CeO NF catalyst not only possessed extreme sintering resistance but also exhibited high performance owing to the enhanced interaction between the Au clusters/NPs and CeO nanorod during calcination.

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.

Chiral photocatalytic nanomaterials possess numerous unique properties and hold promise for various applications in chemical synthesis, environmental protection, energy conversion, and photoelectric devices. Nevertheless, it is uncommon to develop effective means to enhance the asymmetric catalytic performances of chiral plasmonic nanomaterials. In this study, a type of L/D-Au@CeO helical nanorods (HNRs) was fabricated by selectively growing CeO on the surface of Au HNRs via a facile wet-chemistry construction method.

Tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT) relies on intratumoral free radicals, while the limited oxygen source and the depletion of tissue oxygen may exacerbate the hypoxia. As the treatment progresses, there will eventually be a problem of insufficient free radicals. Here, it is found that Au@CeO nano-rods (Au@Ce NRs), assembled by gold nano-rods (Au NRs) and ceria nanoparticles (CeO NPs), can efficaciously absorb near-infrared light (NIR) to promote the release of oxygen and free radicals.

The interfacial perimeter is generally viewed as the catalytically active site for a number of chemical reactions over oxide-supported nanogold catalysts. Here, well-defined CeO nanocubes, nanorods and nanopolyhedra are chosen to accommodate atomically precise clusters ( Au(PET)) to give different Au cluster-CeO interfaces. TEM images show that Au particles of ∼1.
