Hydrogen peroxide acts as a byproduct of oxidative metabolism, and oxidative stress caused by its excess amount, causes different types of cancer. Thus, fast and cost-friendly analytical methods need to be developed for HO. Ionic liquid (IL)-coated cobalt (Co)-doped cerium oxide (CeO)/activated carbon (C) nanocomposite has been used to assess the peroxidase-like activity for the colorimetric detection of HO. Both activated C and IL have a synergistic effect on the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The Co-doped CeO/activated C nanocomposite has been synthesized by the co-precipitation method and characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, FTIR, SEM, EDX, Raman spectroscopy, and XRD. The prepared nanocomposite was functionalized with IL to avoid agglomeration. HO concentration, incubation time, pH, TMB concentration, and quantity of the capped nanocomposite were tuned. The proposed sensing probe gave a limit of detection of 1.3 × 10 M, a limit of quantification of 1.4 × 10 M, and an R of 0.999. The sensor gave a colorimetric response within 2 min at pH 6 at room temperature. The co-existing species did not show any interference during the sensing probe. The proposed sensor showed high sensitivity and selectivity and was used to detect HO in cancer patients' urine samples.

InO is a promising electrocatalyst for CO electroreduction (COER) to formate. InO nanoparticles doped with Pd, Ni, Co, Zr, and Ce promoters using flame-spray pyrolysis were characterized and evaluated in a gas diffusion electrode for the COER. Doping results in slight shifts of the In binding energy as probed by XPS, which correlates with a change of the Faradaic efficiency to formate (FE) in the order Ce-doped InO > Zr-doped InO > InO > Pd-doped InO > Ni-doped InO > Co-doped InO.

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.

Prospective photocatalytic ammonia synthesis process has received more attentions but quite challenging with the low visible light utilization and weak N molecule absorption ability around the photocatalysts. Herein, interface reconstruction of MXene-TiC/CeO composites with high-concentration active sites through the carbon-doped process are presented firstly, and obvious transition zones with the three-phase reaction interface are formed in the as-prepared catalysts. The optimal co-doped sample demonstrates an excellent photo response in the visible light region, the strongest chemisorption activity and the most active sites.

A novel carbon catalyst was created based on plant metallurgy strategy for organic pollutants removal. Plants rich in CeO NPs in water were used as carbon precursors and pyrolyzed with urea to obtain Ce/N co-doped carbon catalysts, which were used in the degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by active peroxymonosulfate (PMS). The results showed that the Ce/N @BC/PMS system achieved to 94.

The manipulation of oxygen vacancies (OVs) in metal oxides has progressively emerged as a versatile strategy for improving their catalytic performance. In this study, we aim to enhance the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of cerium oxide (CeO) by doping heteroatoms (Fe, Co, Ni) to generate additional OVs. We systematically analyzed both the morphology and electronic structure of the obtained CeO catalysts.
