Abstract
Transparency to UV-Vis light and radiopacity of dental resin composites containing zirconia (ZrO2) fillers were investigated. The transparency of the resin composite containing porous ZrO2 spheres was much higher than that containing irregularly shaped ZrO2 particles. Calcination of the porous ZrO2 spheres at high temperatures led to dramatically reduced specific surface areas and pore volumes. The transparency of the resin composite containing the calcined porous ZrO2 spheres drastically decreased as the calcination temperature increased. Then, the enhanced UV-Vis transmittance of the resin composite containing porous ZrO2 spheres is attributed to the concentration and physical characteristics of the pores. The radiopacity of the resin composites containing porous ZrO2 spheres increased slightly with increasing calcination temperature. This study revealed that the internal structure of the ZrO2 fillers mainly influenced in the UV-Vis light transmittance of the resin composites.

Abstract
Long- and uniform-length, and high-density hair-like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were produced by CNT growth on sub-micron-sized spherical catalyst supports. The nanosized catalysts (FeO x , CoO x , and NiO x ) that were supported in/on the sub-micron-sized spherical metal oxides (TiO2, ZrO2, SnO2, and CeO2) were prepared via one-step solvothermal and/or two-step impregnation methods. The nanosized catalysts supported in/on the spherical metal oxide supports were converted into CNT conjugates with the CNT-hair morphology via a chemical thermal vapor deposition technique using ethyne gas as a carbon source; the CNTs grew on the central spherical metal oxide core under the base growth process conditions. Among the many types of candidate spherical catalyst materials, the combination of FeO x as a catalyst for CNT growth and ZrO2 as a support led to the best growth of CNT-hair under the reaction conditions, which included a temperature of 730 °C, pressure of 65 Pa, a 10 sccm ethyne gas flow, and a reaction time of 10 s. The CNTs consisted of five-to-eight-layered multi-wall structures with lengths of approximately 3 μm. The CNT-hair that was obtained using the solvothermally embedded catalyst showed higher crystallinity and was dense, thick, and straight, while the corresponding CNT-hair obtained using the impregnated catalyst was slightly sparse, thin, and curly. A unique layer structure constructed using large quantities of uniform CNT-hair, including multiple CNT yarns similar to fuzzy balls or cotton candies, was assembled. The CNT-hair conjugate, specifically constructed in a layer structure with core FeO x /ZrO2 catalysts and tangled CNT yarns, had an appearance similar to frog eggs. Therefore, we successfully prepared suitable catalysts for CNT-hair production and fabricated a layer structure consisting of large numbers of CNT-hair conjugates. The unique structures are expected as a new metamaterial with intriguing physical properties, including isotropic absorption of polarized light and electromagnetic waves.

Abstract
Light-curing resin cements, each comprising one of five different inorganic fillers (non-porous and porous spherical SiO2 particles, irregularly shaped glass and ZrO2 particles, and porous ZrO2 spheres), monomers, and polymerization initiators were prepared to determine the effect of filler morphology on the adhesive strength of the resin cement. The strength of adhesion to a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) resin block was investigated mechanically by measuring the tensile bond strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus. The resin cement containing sub-micron porous ZrO2 spheres had significantly higher tensile bond strength than the other resin cements. The resin cement containing the porous ZrO2 spheres had markedly lower flexural strength and elastic modulus values than the resin cements containing SiO2 and glass fillers.

Abstract
In the present work P−ZrO2CeO2ZnO nanoparticles were synthesised for the first time using phytochemical extracts from Flacourtia indica leaves and applied in the photocatalytic degradation of Congo Red in the presence of Light Emitting Diode warm white light. The photocatalytic degradation was optimized with respect to P−ZrO2CeO2ZnO nanoparticle dosage, initial Congo Red concentration, and degradation time. The optimum conditions for P−ZrO2CeO2ZnO nanoparticle synthesis was pH 9, leaves extracts of F. indica dosage 4 g 100 mL−1, Zirconia, Cerium and Zinc metal ion concentration 0.05 mg/L and metal ion to plant volume ratio of 1:4. The leaves extract dosage, pH and metal concentration had the most significant effects on the synthesis of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles followed type III physisorption adsorption isotherms with surface area of 0.4593 m3g−1, pore size of 6.80 nm, pore volume 0.000734 cmg−13 and average nanoparticle size 0.255 nm. A degradation efficiency of 86% was achieved and the optimum degradation conditions were 0.05 g/L of P−ZrO2CeO2ZnO nanoparticle dosage, 10 mg/L initial Congo red concentration, and 250 minutes irradiation time. Data from kinetic studies showed that the degradation followed pseudo first order kinetics at low concentration, with a rate constant of 0.069 min−1. The superoxide, h+ holes and light were the main determinants of the reaction mechanisms for the degradation of Congo Red. The investigation outcomes demonstrated that P−ZrO2CeO2ZnO nanoparticles offer a high potential for photocatalytic degradation of Congo Red. The most significant factors on P−ZrO2CeO2ZnO nanoparticles synthesis were plant leaves dosage, pH and initial metal concentration. The nanoparticles exhibited high catalytic activity towards photocatalytic degradation of Congo red. Superoxide, h+ holes and light were the main determinants of the photocatalytic degradation mechanisms.

Abstract
Ni nanoparticle catalysts embedded in ZrO2 porous spheres and ZrO2 porous composite spheres, SiO2-ZrO2, MgO-ZrO2, and Y2O3-ZrO2, with 83-115 nm diameter and 167-269 m2/g specific surface area were prepared by a one-pot and one-step solvothermal reaction from precursor solutions consisting of Ni(NO3)2‧6H2O, Zr(OnBu)4, and acetylacetone in moist ethanol combined with either Si(OEt)4, magnesium acetylacetate, or Y(OiPr)3. The obtained Ni catalysts have high specific surface areas of 130-196 m2/g, even after high-temperature reduction by H2 at 450 °C for 2 h. They were utilized as catalysts for low-temperature dry reforming of methane (DRM) at 550 °C to suppress carbon deposition on Ni nanoparticles. The Ni catalysts embedded in SiO2-ZrO2 and Y2O3-ZrO2 demonstrated high catalytic activity and long stability in the reaction. Moreover, carbon deposition on Ni nanoparticles in the DRM reaction was effectively suppressed in when using the SiO2-ZrO2 and Y2O3-ZrO2 composites.

Abstract
Modification of a ZrO2 based catalyst with selected transition metals dopants has shown promising improvement in the catalytic activity of palmitic acid ketonization. Small amounts of metal oxide deposition on the surface of the ZrO2 catalyst enhances the yield of palmitone (16-hentriacontanone) as the major product with pentadecane as the largest side product. This investigation explores the effects of addition of carefully chosen metal oxides (Fe2O3, NiO, MnO2, CeO2, CuO, CoO, Cr2O3, La2O3 and ZnO) as dopants on bulk ZrO2. The catalysts are prepared via a deposition-precipitation method followed by calcination at 550 °C and characterized by XRD, BET-surface area, TPD-CO2, TPD-NH3, FESEM, TEM and XPS. The screening of synthesized catalysts was carried out with 5% catalyst loading onto 15 g of pristine palmitic acid and the reaction carried out at 340 °C for 3 h. Preliminary studies show catalytic activity improvement with addition of dopants in the order of La2O3/ZrO2 < CoO/ZrO2 < MnO2/ZrO2 with the highest palmitic acid conversion of 92% and palmitone yield of 27.7% achieved using 5% MnO2/ZrO2 catalyst. Besides, NiO/ZrO2 exhibits high selectivity exclusively for pentadecane compared to other catalysts with maximum yield of 24.9% and conversion of 64.9% is observed. Therefore, the changes in physicochemical properties of the dopant added ZrO2 catalysts and their influence in palmitic acid ketonization reaction is discussed in detail.

Abstract
Porous ceria was obtained using a unique solvothermal reaction in acetonitrile, applying high temperature and pressure. The resulting material comprised homogeneous and monodisperse spheres and exhibited an extremely large surface area of 152 m2 g-1. From catalytic performance evaluation by vapor- and liquid-phase reactions, the synthesized porous ceria showed superior and different reaction activity compared with commercial CeO2. To examine the origin of the reaction activity of the present porous ceria, synchrotron hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) measurements were carried out. The systematic study of HAXPES measurements revealed that the obtained porous ceria with the present solvothermal method contained a very high concentration of Ce3+. Moreover, O2-pulse adsorption analyses demonstrated a significant oxygen adsorption capacity exceeding 268 μmol-O g-1 at 400 °C owing to its high contents of Ce3+ species.

Abstract
To achieve a high activity and coking stability of nickel catalysts in dry reforming of methane, materials comprised of ceria–zirconia doped by Ti were investigated as supports. Ceria–zirconia supports doped with titanium were prepared either via the Pechini method or by synthesis in supercritical alcohol media. Ni-containing catalysts were prepared by two techniques: standard incipient wetness impregnation and one-pot synthesis. The catalytic reaction of DRM to synthesis gas was carried out in the 600–750 °C range over 5% wt. Ni/Ce(Ti)ZrO2. Dried and calcined supports and catalysts were characterized by physicochemical methods including N2 adsorption, XRD, Raman, H2-TPR, and HRTEM. Both preparation methods led to formation of solid solution with cubic fluorite-like structure, as well as after addition of Ti. Introduction of Ti should provide improved oxygen storage capacity and mobility of support oxygen. The highest activity was observed with the catalyst of 5% wt. Ni/Ce0.75Ti0.2Zr0.05O2−δ composition due to optimized oxide support structure and support oxygen mobility.

Nickel-Containing Ceria-Zirconia Doped with Ti and Nb. Effect of Support Composition and Preparation Method on Catalytic Activity in Methane Dry Reforming. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10071281.

Abstract
Nickel-containing mixed ceria-zirconia oxides also doped by Nb and Ti have been prepared by a citrate route and by original solvothermal continuous flow synthesis in supercritical alcohols. Nickel was subsequently deposited by conventional insipient wetness impregnation. The oxides are comprised of ceria-zirconia solid solution with cubic fluorite phase. Negligible amounts of impurities of zirconia are observed for samples prepared by citrate route and doped by Ti. Supports prepared by supercritical synthesis are single-phased. XRD data, Raman, and UV-Vis DR (diffuse reflectance) spectroscopy suggest increasing lattice parameter and amount of oxygen vacancies in fluorite structure after Nb and Ti incorporation despite of the preparation method. These structural changes correlate with the catalytic activity in a methane dry reforming reaction. Catalysts synthesized under supercritical conditions are more active than the catalysts of the same composition prepared by the citrate route. The catalytic activity of samples doped with Ti and Nb is two times higher in terms of TOF (turnover frequency) and increased stability of these catalysts is attributed with the highest oxygen mobility being crucial for gasification of coke precursors.

Abstract
Submicron-sized niobia (Nb2O5) porous spheres with a high specific surface area (300 m2 g-1) and nano concave-convex surfaces were synthesized via a rapid one-pot single-step alcothermal reaction. Prolonged reaction time or high reaction temperatures resulted in a morphology change of Nb2O5 from amorphous sphere to rod crystals with hexagonal crystal phase. A similar alcothermal reaction yielded TiO2-Nb2O5 composite porous spheres, whose Ti : Nb molar ratio was controlled by changing the precursor solution component ratios. A simple thermal treatment of amorphous TiO2-Nb2O5 porous spheres consisting of 1 : 2 (molar ratio) Ti : Nb at 600 °C for 2 h induced crystal phase transfer from amorphous to a monoclinic crystal phase of submicron-sized TiNb2O7 porous spheres with a specific surface area of 50 m2 g-1.

Abstract
The unique reversible oxygen storage and release capacity of cerium zirconium mixed oxides makes them ideal washcoat materials of automotive three-way catalysts (TWC). In this work, cerium zirconium mixed oxides of Ce0.15Zr0.79La0.02Nd0.04O2 were prepared via a co-precipitation method. The effects of hydrogen peroxide co-precipitation and inert N2 atmosphere calcination on the structure and properties of cerium zirconium mixed oxides were investigated systematically by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction, oxygen storage capacity (OSC), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Additionally, the catalytic performance of palladium supported catalysts was studied. Results show that hydrogen peroxide co-precipitation promotes the dispersion of cerium zirconium particles and enhances crystal grain growth, resulting in good thermal stability of the obtained cerium zirconium mixed oxides. Inert N2 atmosphere calcination also enhances the dispersion of particles, results in smaller and finer crystal grains, enriches pore channels, and significantly improves the surface area, pore volume and OSC, with an OSC of 424.57 μmolO2 g-1, which is a 13.37% increment compared with the common sample. The benefits of hydrogen peroxide co-precipitation and inert N2 atmosphere calcination endow the Pd supported catalysts of cerium zirconium mixed oxides with good three-way catalytic performance.

Abstract
The ability of a rapid-heating solvothermal process to synthesize porous nanocrystal assemblies composed of the multiple transition metals was demonstrated. The rapid heating facilitated the quick formation of nascent nanocrystals to generate homogeneous mixed transition-metal oxides. Systematic studies of the synthesis of mixed-metal oxides under various experimental conditions indicated that the present simple method is suitable to develop a wide variety of binary and ternary transition-metal systems such as Co/Mn, Ni/Mn, and Co/Mn/Fe mixed-metal oxides. The products obtained from the rapid heating process were hierarchically assembled porous nanospheres composed of sub-10 nm nanocrystals, which had an extraordinarily high surface area and nano/mesopores. Electrochemical tests revealed the high catalytic ability of the porous nanocrystal assemblies in water oxidation.
