Porous graphene with catalytically active ceria nanometre-size particles were prepared using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on graphene produced through chemical vapour deposition (CVD). The reported process provided porous graphene containing ceria nanoparticles as confirmed by HR TEM and XPS. Isotopically labelled C graphene was employed to study desorption of the species containing carbon. Methanol adsorption was utilised to probe the nature of the catalytic activity of prepared ceria decorated graphene. The important role of graphene support for the stabilization of reduced ceria nanoparticles was finally confirmed. Increased dehydrogenation activity of graphene with ceria nanoparticles leading to CO and H formation was demonstrated.

Article Synopsis
- Delayed healing in diabetic wounds is primarily due to a dysfunctional microenvironment caused by high blood sugar and ongoing inflammation.
- Topical microenvironment modulation, particularly using microneedles, offers a promising solution to enhance healing by delivering therapeutic agents directly to the wound's surface.
- A hybrid microneedle has been developed incorporating carvacrol, cyclodextrin, mesoporous ceria nanoparticles, and hyaluronate, which improves healing by providing antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects to accelerate tissue reconstruction processes like cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
Autocatalytic Ceria Nanoparticle-Embedded Tilapia Collagen Hydrogels as Enhanced Antioxidative and Long-Lasting Dermal Fillers for Photoaged Skin.

Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation significantly contribute to photoaging by increasing the level of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), accelerating collagen degradation. Commercial dermal fillers offer temporary wrinkle reduction via volume enhancement. In this study, we propose tilapia-derived collagen hydrogels embedded with ceria nanoparticles (Ce@Col gels) as long-lasting dermal fillers for UVB-induced photoaging.

The landmark discovery of gold catalysts has aroused substantial interest in heterogeneous catalysis, yet the catalytic mechanism remains elusive. For carbon monoxide oxidation on gold nanoparticles (NPs) supported on ceria surfaces, it is widely believed that carbon monoxide adsorbs on the gold particles, while the reaction occurs at the gold/ceria interface. Here, we have investigated the dynamic changes of supported gold NPs with various sizes in a carbon monoxide oxidation atmosphere using deep potential molecular dynamics simulations.

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.
