In this study, nanocrystals of a cerium-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF), Ce-MOF-808, are directly grown on the surface of carboxylic acid-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by a facile one-step solvothermal synthesis method. Ce-MOF-CNT nanocomposites with various Ce-MOF-to-CNT ratios are synthesized, and their crystallinity, morphology, porosity, and electrical conductivity are examined. The redox-hopping and electrochemical behaviors of the pristine Ce-MOF in aqueous electrolytes are investigated, suggesting that the pristine Ce-MOF is electrochemically active but possesses a limited charge-transport behavior. As a demonstration, all the Ce-MOF, CNT, and nanocomposites are used as active materials for application in aqueous-based supercapacitors. The capacitive performance of the CNT can be significantly boosted with the help of redox-active Ce-MOF-808 nanocrystals.

Phenylacetylene is a detrimental impurity in the polymerisation of styrene, capable of poisoning catalysts even at ppm levels and significantly degrading the quality of polystyrene. The semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene instead of ethylbenzene is, therefore, an important industrial process. We report a novel cerium(iv)-based metal-organic framework (denoted as Ce-bptc), which comprises {Ce} clusters bridged by biphenyl-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylate linkers.

Traditional mono-functional anti-corrosion coatings are unable to meet the long-term corrosion resistance requirements of metal materials, therefore developing multifunctional anti-corrosion coatings have broad application prospects. In this work, long-lasting anti-corrosion coatings with superhydrophobic and self-healing properties were successfully prepared by in-situ growth of dual-ligand cerium-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF) on the surface of graphene oxide (GO), followed by chemical modification with polydopamine (PDA), resulting in 5B level of adhesion and excellent mechanical robustness. The superhydrophobic surface, as the external armor of the coating, can effectively block the penetrating path of corrosive media.

The quest for effective cancer treatment methodologies underpins numerous research endeavors. Despite the therapeutic efficacy of conventional chemotherapy against malignant tumors, tumor recurrence post-therapy remains a formidable challenge. Addressing this, we developed a dual drug delivery system, rooted in a modified metal-organic framework (MOF), specifically by substituting the metal nodes of Uio-66 with cerium to augment its anti-oxidative potential.

We present the synthesis and characterisation of three Ce-based metal-organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs) using fumaric acid (Fu), terephthalic acid (BDC), and trimesic acid (HBTC) as linkers. The use of different linkers influenced the size of the MOF particles, surface area, crystallinity, and microporous structure. The successful implementation of Ce-Fu, Ce-BDC, and Ce-HBTC MOFs for fluoride ion removal from wastewater was carried out, in which Ce-Fu MOFs exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity (AC) of 64.

Microwave (MW) therapy is an emerging therapy with high efficiency and deep penetration to combat the crisis of bacterial resistance. However, as the energy of MW is too low to induce electron transition, the mechanism of MW catalytic effect remains ambiguous. Herein, a cerium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) is fabricated and used in MW therapy.
