The construction of highly efficient inorganic mimetic enzymes (nanozymes) is much needed to replace natural enzymes due to their instability and high cost. Recently, nanoscale CeO has been attracting significant interest due to its unique properties such as facile redox behaviour (Ce↔ Ce) and surface defects. In the present work, various amounts of Fe-doped CeO nanorods (NRs) (with 3, 6, 9, and 12% Fe doping) were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method and investigated for peroxidase-like activity and glucose detection. The peroxidase-like activity results revealed that 6 at% doping is the optimal Fe doping level to demonstrate superior catalytic performance over un-doped and Fe-doped CeO NRs. Steady state kinetic analysis also confirms that the 6% Fe-doped CeO (6Fe/CeO) NRs exhibited excellent catalytic performance towards 3,3',5,5'tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation with a K and V of 0.176 mM and 8.6 × 10 M s, respectively, as compared to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzymes (0.434 mM and 10.0 × 10 M s). Typical colour reactions arising from the catalytic oxidation of the TMB substrate over 6Fe/CeO NRs with HO have been utilized to establish a simple sensitive and selective colorimetric assay for the determination of glucose concentration in buffer, diluted fruit juices and foetal bovine serum samples. The superior catalytic performance of 6Fe/CeO NRs could be attributed to abundant surface defects, high surface area and pore volume, and preferential exposure of the highly reactive (110) planes.

Biodegradable polyesters, such as polylactic acid (PLA), is one of the most promising plastics with great potential to contribute to enabling a sustainable global circular economy. However, the efficient chemical upcycling of PLA plastic waste into high-value chemicals remains a grand challenge. Herein, a series of Ru/CeFeO catalysts with varying Ru loadings were developed for the catalytic amination of PLA plastic waste to alanine in the presence of ammonia.

Article Synopsis
- Solution combustion (SC) is highlighted as a top method for creating crystalline nanopowders efficiently, cost-effectively, and environmentally friendly from an aqueous medium.
- This study focuses on using SC to synthesize anisometric ceria-based nanoparticles for catalysts in direct dimethyl carbonate production, comparing them with ceria nanorods made by the hydrothermal (HT) method.
- The SC-derived nanoparticles demonstrated superior crystallinity and smaller size, but the HT samples performed better catalytically due to their higher oxygen vacancy concentration and optimal acidic/basic site balance.

Designing a highly efficient, low-cost, sustainable electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) through water splitting is a current challenge for renewable energy technologies. This work presents a modified sol-gel route to prepare metal-ion(s) doped cerium oxide nanostructures as an efficient electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. Nickle (Ni) and iron (Fe) co-doping impacts the morphology in cerium oxide resulting in 5 nm nanoparticles with a mesoporous-like microstructure.

In this work, CuM/CeO (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Zr) catalysts with a low Cu content of 1 wt% were purposely designed and prepared using the co-impregnation method. The samples were characterized using various techniques (TG-DTA, XRD, N-adsorption/desorption measurements, H-TPR, XPS and Raman spectroscopy) and CO preferential oxidation (CO-Prox) under H/CO-rich conditions was performed. The results have shown that enhanced catalytic performance was achieved upon the introduction of Mn, Co and Ni, and little impact was observed with Zr doping, but Fe showed a negative effect, as compared with the Cu/CeO catalyst.
