The removal of soot particles via high-performance catalysts is a critical area of research due to the growing concern regarding air pollution. Among various potential catalysts suitable for soot oxidation, cerium oxide-based materials have shown considerable promise. In this study, CeO samples obtained using a range of preparation methods (including hydrothermal synthesis (HT), sonochemical synthesis (SC), and hard template synthesis (TS)) were tested in soot combustion. They were compared to commercially available material (COM). All synthesized ceria catalysts were thoroughly characterized using XRD, RS, UV/Vis-DR, XPS, H-TPR, SEM, and TEM techniques. As confirmed in the current study, every tested ceria sample can be used as an effective soot oxidation catalyst, with a temperature of 50% soot conversion not exceeding 400 °C in a tight contact mode. A strong correlation was observed between the catalysts' Ce concentration and activity, with higher Ce levels leading to improved performance. These findings underscore the importance of synthesis in optimizing ceria-based catalysts for environmental applications.

A single-bed and dual-bed catalyst system was studied to maximize H production from the combination of partial oxidation of CH and water gas shift reaction. In addition, the different types of catalysts, including Ni, Cu, Ni-Re, and Cu-Re supported on gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) were investigated under different operating conditions of temperature (400-650 °C). Over Ni-based catalysts, methane can easily dissociate on a Ni surface to give hydrogen and carbon species.

The direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO and methanol over ceria-based catalysts, in the presence of a dehydrating agent shifting the thermodynamical equilibrium of the reaction, has received significant interest recently. In this work, several dehydrating agents, such as molecular sieves, 2,2-dimethoxypropane (DMP), dimethoxymethane (DMM) and 1,1,1-trimethoxymethane (TMM), are combined with commercial ceria to compare their influence on the DMC yield obtained under the same set of operating conditions. TMM is found to be the most efficient; however, its conversion is not complete even after 48 h of reaction.

Water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is a crucial step for the industrial production of hydrogen or upgrading the hydrogen generated from fossil or biomass sources by removing the residual CO. However, current industrial catalysts for this process, comprising Cu/ZnO and FeO-CrO, suffer from safety or environmental issues. In the past decades, ceria-based materials have attracted wide attention as WGS catalysts due to their abundant oxygen vacancies and tunable metal-support interaction.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers propose that changing the coordination symmetry of these SACs can enhance their electronic properties, which helps in better adsorbing and activating reactant molecules.
- * Using a ceria-based Ru-SAC (Ru-CeO) as a case study, they demonstrate that an asymmetric configuration (P-Ru-CeO) significantly improves photocatalytic performance through enhanced electron delocalization, offering a novel approach to designing more efficient catalysts.
