High surface-area, mesoporous CeO, ZrO and Ce-Zr composite nanoparticles were developed using the hydrothermal template-assisted synthesis method. Samples were characterized using XRD, N physisorption, TEM, XPS, and FT-IR spectroscopic methods. The CO adsorption ability of the obtained materials was tested under dynamic and equilibrium conditions. A high CO adsorption capacity in CO/N flow or CO/N/HO was determined for all studied adsorbents depending on their composition flow. A higher CO adsorption was registered for Ce-Zr composite nanomaterials due to the presence of strong O base sites and enriched surface oxygen species. The role of the Ce/Zr ratio is the process of the formation of highly active and selective adsorption sites is discussed. The calculated heat of adsorption revealed the processes of chemisorption and physisorption. Experimental data could be appropriately described by the Yoon-Nelson kinetic model. The composites reused in five adsorption/desorption cycles showed a high stability with a slight decrease in CO adsorption capacities in dry flow and in the presence of water vapor.

Dry methane reforming (DRM) presents a viable pathway for converting greenhouse gases into useful syngas. Nevertheless, the procedure requires robust and reasonably priced catalysts. This study explored using cost-effective cobalt and nickel combined into a single catalyst with different metal ratios.

Herein, we investigate the potential of nanostructured high-entropy oxides (HEOs) for photocatalytic CO hydrogenation, a process with significant implications for environmental sustainability and energy production. Several cerium-oxide-based rare-earth HEOs with fluorite structures were prepared for UV-light driven photocatalytic CO hydrogenation toward valuable fuels and petrochemical precursors. The cationic composition profoundly influences the selectivity and activity of the HEOs, where the CeZrLaNdSmO catalyst showed outstanding CO activation (14.

Utilizing catalytic combustion to convert methane (CH) into CO and HO stands as one of the most effective approaches for mitigating unburnt CH emissions from natural gas engines. Supported Pd catalysts have been extensively researched for their role in low-temperature CH combustion, with their catalytic activity greatly influenced by metal-support interactions. Surface interaction Pd phases, as a special type of Pd species originating from metal-support interactions on supported Pd catalysts, show controversial catalytic performance in CH combustion.

Formula regulation of multi-component catalysts by manual search is undoubtedly a time-consuming task, which has severely impeded the development efficiency of high-performance catalysts. In this work, PtPd@CeZrO core-shell nanospheres, as a successful case study, is explicitly demonstrated how Bayesian optimization (BO) accelerates the discovery of methane combustion catalysts with the optimal formula ratio (the Pt/Pd mole ratio ranges from 1/2.33-1/9.
