Abstract
Ni-CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) are promising nanocatalysts for water splitting and water gas shift reactions due to the ability of ceria to temporarily donate oxygen to the catalytic reaction and accept oxygen after the reaction is completed. Therefore, elucidating how different properties of the Ni-Ceria NPs relate to the activity and selectivity of the catalytic reaction, is of crucial importance for the development of novel catalysts. In this work the active learning (AL) method based on machine learning regression and its uncertainty is used for the global optimization of Ce(4-x)NixO(8-x) (x = 1, 2, 3) nanoparticles, employing density functional theory calculations. Additionally, further investigation of the NPs by mass-scaled parallel-tempering Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics resulted in the same putative global minimum structures found by AL, demonstrating the robustness of our AL search to learn from small datasets and assist in the global optimization of complex electronic structure systems.

Abstract
It is important to adapt the morphology of CeO2 to different applications. A novel flaky CeO2 with nanocrystals was successfully synthesized using the ordinal precipitation method and calcination. The size of the flaky CeO2 was about 10 μm, and the nanocrystals were about 100 nm. Under the action of the precipitant NH4HCO3, Ce3+ nucleated in large quantities. The nanosized crystals gathered into flakes driven by the surface energy. As the calcination temperature increased, the grains grew slowly by mass transfer due to the slow diffusion of reactants. By adding AlOOH to the starting material, the Al3+ doped into the CeO2 increased the content of Ce3+ in the CeO2, which improved the chemical activity of the CeO2. When the starting material's Al:Ce ratio was 5:1, the Ce3+ increased to 31.11% in the CeO2, which provided good application potential in the polishing field. After polishing by the slurry of flaky CeO2 for 1 h, the SiC surface roughness reduced from 464 nm to 11 nm.

Abstract
Herein, we investigate the potential of nanostructured high-entropy oxides (HEOs) for photocatalytic CO2 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 CO2 hydrogenation toward valuable fuels and petrochemical precursors. The cationic composition profoundly influences the selectivity and activity of the HEOs, where the Ce0.2Zr0.2La0.2Nd0.2Sm0.2O2-δ catalyst showed outstanding CO2 activation (14.4 molCO kgcat-1 h-1 and 1.27 mol CH 3 OH kgcat-1 h-1) and high methanol and CO selectivity (7.84% CH3OH and 89.26% CO) under ambient conditions with 4 times better performance in comparison to pristine CeO2. Systematic tests showed the effect of a high-entropy system compared to midentropy oxides. XPS, in situ DRIFTS, as well as DFT calculation elucidate the synergistic impact of Ce, Zr, La, Nd, and Sm, resulting in an optimal Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio. The observed formate-routed mechanism and a surface with high affinity to CO2 reduction offer insights into the photocatalytic enhancement. While our findings lay a solid foundation, further research is needed to optimize these catalysts and expand their applications.

Environment-Driven Variability in Absolute Band Edge Positions and Work Functions of Reduced Ceria. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:16814-16829.

Abstract
The absolute band edge positions and work function (Φ) are the key electronic properties of metal oxides that determine their performance in electronic devices and photocatalysis. However, experimental measurements of these properties often show notable variations, and the mechanisms underlying these discrepancies remain inadequately understood. In this work, we focus on ceria (CeO2), a material renowned for its outstanding oxygen storage capacity, and combine theoretical and experimental techniques to demonstrate environmental modifications of its ionization potential (IP) and Φ. Under O-deficient conditions, reduced ceria exhibits a decreased IP and Φ with significant sensitivity to defect distributions. In contrast, the IP and Φ are elevated in O-rich conditions due to the formation of surface peroxide species. Surface adsorbates and impurities can further augment these variabilities under realistic conditions. We rationalize the shifts in energy levels by separating the individual contributions from bulk and surface factors, using hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) embedded-cluster and periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations supported by interatomic-potential-based electrostatic analyses. Our results highlight the critical role of on-site electrostatic potentials in determining the absolute energy levels in metal oxides, implying a dynamic evolution of band edges under catalytic conditions.

Modulating the effective ionic radii of trivalent dopants in ceria using a combination of dopants to improve catalytic efficiency for the oxygen evolution reaction. RSC Adv 2024; 14:17801-17813. [PMID: 38832250 PMCID: PMC11145625 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03360d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Aliovalent doping in ceria and defect engineering are important aspects in tuning the properties of ceria for advanced technological applications, especially in the emerging field of electrocatalytic water-splitting for harvesting renewable energy. However, the ambiguity regarding the choice of dopants/co-dopants and ways to deal with the size difference between dopants and lattice hosts remains a long-standing problem. In this study, ceria was aliovalently codoped with Sc3+ and La3+ while keeping the total concentration of dopants constant; the ionic radius of the former is smaller and that of the latter is larger than Ce4+. Variations in the relative amounts of these dopants helped to modulate the effective ionic radii and match that of the host. A systematic study on the role of these aliovalent dopants in defect evolution in ceria and in modulating the Ce3+ fraction using powder XRD, Rietveld refinement, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Eu3+ photoluminescence, and Raman spectroscopy is presented here. The evolved defects and their dependence on subtle factors other than charge compensation are further correlated with their electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline medium. The catalyst with an optimum defect density, maximum Ce3+ fraction at the surface and the least effective ionic radius difference between the dopants and the host demonstrated the best performance towards the OER. This study demonstrates how effective ionic radius modulation in defect-engineered ceria through a judicious choice of codopants can enhance the catalytic property of ceria and provides immensely helpful information for designing ceria-based heterogeneous catalysts with desired functionalities.

Abstract
Nanozyme catalytic therapy for cancer treatments has become one of the heated topics, and the therapeutic efficacy is highly correlated with their catalytic efficiency. In this work, three copper-doped CeO2 supports with various structures as well as crystal facets are developed to realize dual enzyme-mimic catalytic activities, that is superoxide dismutase (SOD) to reduce superoxide radicals to H2 O2 and peroxidase (POD) to transform H2 O2 to ∙OH. The wire-shaped CeO2 /Cu-W has the richest surface oxygen vacancies, and a low level of oxygen vacancy (Vo) formation energy, which allows for the elimination of intracellular reactive oxygen spieces (ROS) and continuous transformation to ∙OH with cascade reaction. Moreover, the wire-shaped CeO2 /Cu-W displays the highest toxic ∙OH production capacity in an acidic intracellular environment, inducing breast cancer cell death and pro-apoptotic autophagy. Therefore, wire-shaped CeO2 /Cu nanoparticles as an artificial enzyme system can have great potential in the intervention of intracellular ROS in cancer cells, achieving efficacious nanocatalytic therapy.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added products via the electrochemical method is a conducive way to tackle the hazard of high CO2 emissions. The present DFT study reports a novel dual chromium-anchored tri-vacancy borophene (Cr2/TV-β12) electrocatalyst, which showed high selectivity and stability for CO2RR. A tri-vacancy defect was introduced in β12 borophene to create an 11-membered ring borophene sheet (TV-β12), and 28 different electrocatalysts were explored via doping various transition metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn). Density functional theory simulation results revealed that the Cr2/TV-β12 electrocatalyst adsorbs and activates CO2 efficiently, which was validated by the partial density of states, charge density difference, Bader charge, and crystal orbital Hamilton population analyses. The limiting potential for CO2RR was evaluated to be -0.45 V, against hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) (0.57 V), with the main product being formaldehyde. The catalyst showed selectivity towards CO2 reduction and suppressed HER. The usual problem of carbon monoxide poisoning encountered in CO2 reduction was also assessed and a high resistance against the same was established. At the outset, the research revealed that dual atom-doped tri-vacancy β12 borophene has tremendous potential to be utilized as an efficient catalyst for CO2RR.

Abstract
Converting CO2 to valuable chemicals and fuels is a viable method to establish a carbon-neutral energy cycle in the environment. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), characterized by dispersed active sites, high porosity, etc., have displayed a great application prospect in the electrochemical/chemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) process. Herein, we proposed a one-step production to establish a series of pillar-layered porous MOFs, [Co2(L)(bimb)]n (MOF 1) and [Co4(L)2(bidpe)2]n (MOF 2) [H4L = 5'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-(1,1':2',1″-terphenyl)-4,4',4″-tricarboxylic, bimb = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-butane, bidpe = 4'-bis(imidazolyl) diphenyl ether], for preferential conversion of CO2 via ligand adjustment and increase of active sites' density. According to single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, [Co2(L)(bimb)]n exhibits pillar-layered binuclear 3D frameworks with a 2,4,6-linked 3-nodes new topology structure, while [Co4(L)2(bidpe)2]n displays pillar-layered tetranuclear interspersed networks with a 4,6-linked 2-nodes fsc topology structure through a ligand adjustment strategy. Meanwhile, the pillar-layered structure of the MOFs with abundant active sites is conducive to mass diffusion and benefits the conversion of CO2. MOFs 1-2 exhibit good electrocatalytic activity for CO2RR in 0.5 M KHCO3 solution. Especially, the current density of MOF 2 generated at -0.90 V (vs. RHE) reaches -81.6 mA·cm-2, which is 3.1 times higher than that under an Ar atmosphere. In addition, MOFs 1-2 can be used as a heterogeneous catalyst for chemical conversion of CO2. The results are expected to provide inspiration for rational design to develop stable and high-efficiency MOF-based electrocatalysts for CO2RR.

Abstract
The development of cerium (Ce) single-atom (SA) electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with high active-site utilization and intrinsic activity has become popular recently but remains challenging. Inspired by an interesting phenomenon that pore-coupling with single-metal cerium sites can accelerate the electron transfer predicted by density functional theory calculations, here, a facile strategy is reported for directional design of a highly active and stable Ce SA catalyst (Ce SA/MC) by the coupling of single-metal Ce-N4 sites and mesopores in nanocarbon via pore-confinement-pyrolysis of Ce/phenanthroline complexes combined with controlling the formation of Ce oxides. This catalyst delivers a comparable ORR catalytic activity with a half-wave potential of 0.845 V versus RHE to the Pt/C catalyst. Also, a Ce SA/MC-based zinc-air battery (ZAB) has exhibited a higher energy density (924 Wh kgZn -1 ) and better long-term cycling durability than a Pt/C-based ZAB. This proposed strategy may open a door for designing efficient rare-earth metal catalysts with single-metal sites coupling with porous structures for next-generation energy devices.

[PMID: 37931017 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202310433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
The value-added chemicals, monoxide, methane, ethylene, ethanol, ethane, and so on, can be efficiently generated through the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2 RR) when equipped with suitable catalysts. Among them, ethylene is particularly important as a chemical feedstock for petrochemical manufacture. However, despite its high Faradaic efficiency achievable at relatively low current densities, the substantial enhancement of ethylene selectivity and stability at industrial current densities poses a formidable challenge. To facilitate the industrial implementation of eCO2 RR for ethylene production, it is imperative to identify key strategies and potential solutions through comprehending the recent advancements, remaining challenges, and future directions. Herein, the latest and innovative catalyst design strategies of eCO2 RR to ethylene are summarized and discussed, starting with the properties of catalysts such as morphology, crystalline, oxidation state, defect, composition, and surface engineering. The review subsequently outlines the related important state-of-the-art technologies that are essential in driving forward eCO2 RR to ethylene into practical applications, such as CO2 capture, product separation, and downstream reactions. Finally, a greenhouse model that integrates CO2 capture, conversion, storage, and utilization is proposed to present an ideal perspective direction of eCO2 RR to ethylene.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has expanded what can be achieved in our approach to cancer treatment. The ability to produce and engineer functional nanoparticle formulations to elicit higher incidences of tumor cell radiolysis has resulted in substantial improvements in cancer cell eradication while also permitting multi-modal biomedical functionalities. These radiosensitive nanomaterials utilize material characteristics, such as radio-blocking/absorbing high-Z atomic number elements, to mediate localized effects from therapeutic irradiation. These materials thereby allow subsequent scattered or emitted radiation to produce direct (e.g., damage to genetic materials) or indirect (e.g., protein oxidation, reactive oxygen species formation) damage to tumor cells. Using nanomaterials that activate under certain physiologic conditions, such as the tumor microenvironment, can selectively target tumor cells. These characteristics, combined with biological interactions that can target the tumor environment, allow for localized radio-sensitization while mitigating damage to healthy cells. This review explores the various nanomaterial formulations utilized in cancer radiosensitivity research. Emphasis on inorganic nanomaterials showcases the specific material characteristics that enable higher incidences of radiation while ensuring localized cancer targeting based on tumor microenvironment activation. The aim of this review is to guide future research in cancer radiosensitization using nanomaterial formulations and to detail common approaches to its treatment, as well as their relations to commonly implemented radiotherapy techniques.

Abstract
The oxygen storage capacity of ceria-based catalytic materials is influenced by their size, morphology, and surface structure, which can be tuned using surfactant-mediated synthesis. In particular, the cuboidal morphology exposes the most reactive surfaces; however, when the capping agent is removed, the nanocubes can agglomerate and limit the available reactive surface. Here, we study ceria nanocubes, lanthanum-doped ceria nanocubes, and ceria nanocubes embedded inside a highly porous silica aerogel by high-energy resolution fluorescence detection-X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy at the Ce L3 edge. In situ measurements showed an increased reversibility of redox cycles in ceria nanocubes when embedded in the aerogel, demonstrating enhanced reactivity due to the retention of reactive surfaces. These aerogel nanocomposites show greater improvement in the redox capacity and increased thermal stability of this catalytic material compared to the surfactant-capped nanocubes. Ex situ measurements were also performed to study the effect of lanthanum doping on the cerium oxidation state in the nanocubes, indicating a higher proportion of Ce4+ compared to that of the undoped ceria nanocubes.

Abstract
The morphologies and exposed surfaces of ceria nanocrystals are important factors in determining their performance. In order to establish a structure-property relationship for ceria nanomaterials, it is essential to have materials with well-defined morphologies and specific exposed facets. This is also crucial for acquiring high resolution 17O solid-state NMR spectra. In this study, we explore the synthesis conditions for preparing CeO2 nanorods with exposed (111) facets. The effects of alkali concentration, hydrothermal temperature and time, cerium source and oxidation agent are investigated and optimal synthesis conditions are found. The resulting CeO2 nanorods show very narrow 17O NMR peaks for the oxygen ions in the first, second and third layers, providing a foundation for future research on mechanisms involving ceria materials using 17O solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Biomass is a renewable and carbon-neutral resource with good features for producing biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. Among the different technologies developed to date to convert biomass into such commodities, hydrothermal conversion (HC) is a very appealing and sustainable option, affording marketable gaseous (primarily containing H2, CO, CH4, and CO2), liquid (biofuels, aqueous phase carbohydrates, and inorganics), and solid products (energy-dense biofuels (up to 30 MJ/kg) with excellent functionality and strength). Given these prospects, this publication first-time puts together essential information on the HC of lignocellulosic and algal biomasses covering all the steps involved. Particularly, this work reports and comments on the most important properties (e.g., physiochemical and fuel properties) of all these products from a holistic and practical perspective. It also gathers vital information addressing selecting and using different downstream/upgrading processes to convert HC reaction products into marketable biofuels (HHV up to 46 MJ/kg), biochemicals (yield >90 %), and biomaterials (great functionality and surface area up to 3600 m2/g). As a result of this practical vision, this work not only comments on and summarizes the most important properties of these products but also analyzes and discusses present and future applications, establishing an invaluable link between product properties and market needs to push HC technologies transition from the laboratory to the industry. Such a practical and pioneering approach paves the way for the future development, commercialization and industrialization of HC technologies to develop holistic and zero-waste biorefinery processes.

Abstract
Sustainable chemistry research prioritizes reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide, and one logical solution is to develop adsorbents suitable for carbon capture and utilization. In this work, a new family of three-dimensional (3D) flower-like Mn-promoted MgO was synthesized by the coprecipitation method and used as an adsorbent for CO2 capture and a catalyst for CO2 utilization. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the samples shows a 3D architecture composed of thin nanosheets. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the presence of the MgO with a cubic structure, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveals the existence of Mn particles as a combination of Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions on MgO. N2 adsorption-desorption experiments highlight the beneficial contribution of Mn particles to surface area enhancement and reveal the existence of mesopores. Furthermore, the designed 3D Mn-doped MgO as an adsorbent demonstrates its capability to improve the ability of MgO to adsorb CO2 (from 0.28 mmol/g for pure MgO to 0.74 mmol/g) in ambient conditions and it is regenerable up to 9 cycles with a slight variation after the third cycle. Moreover, Mn-doped MgO shows good catalyst activity for the oxidation of ethylbenzene derivatives to carbonyl compounds in the presence of CO2 and O2. Mn-15/MgO shows excellent catalytic behavior with a conversion of 97.4 and 100% selectivity. Also, it is regenerable with an insignificant decrease in conversion (∼11.63%) after seven cycles, while the selectivity of acetophenone remains stable. The analyses of the recycled sample suggest that the chemical compositions of Mn and Mg influence the catalytic activity of those Mn-promoted MgO materials. The role of CO2 gas in the aerobic oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone has also been proved. Finally, the control experiments and EPR studies reveal that the reaction takes place through the formation of radicals.

Abstract
The immobilization of homogeneous catalysts has always been a hot issue in the field of catalysis. In this paper, in an attempt to immobilize the homogeneous [Ni(Me6Tren)X]X (X = I, Br, Cl)-type catalyst with porous organic polymer (POP), the heterogeneous catalyst PBTP-Me6Tren(Ni) (POP-Ni) was designed and constructed by quaternization of the porous bromomethyl benzene polymer (PBTP) with tri[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (Me6Tren) followed by coordination of the Ni(II) Lewis acidic center. Evaluation of the performance of the POP-Ni catalyst found it was able to catalyze the CO2 cycloaddition with epichlorohydrin in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), affording 97.5% yield with 99% selectivity of chloropropylene carbonate under ambient conditions (80 °C, CO2 balloon). The excellent catalytic performance of POP-Ni could be attributed to its porous properties, the intramolecular synergy between Lewis acid Ni(II) and nucleophilic Br anion, and the efficient adsorption of CO2 by the multiamines Me6Tren. In addition, POP-Ni can be conveniently recovered through simple centrifugation, and up to 91.8% yield can be obtained on the sixth run. This research provided a facile approach to multifunctional POP-supported Ni(II) catalysts and may find promising application for sustainable and green synthesis of cyclic carbonates.

Abstract
Using petrol to supply energy for a car or burning coal to heat a building generates plenty of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2 ), water vapor (H2 O), methane (CH4 ), nitrous oxide (N2 O), ozone (O3 ), fluorinated gases. These up-and-coming metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are structurally endowed with rigid inorganic nodes and versatile organic linkers, which have been extensively used in the GHG-related applications to improve the lives and protect the environment. Porous MOF materials and their derivatives have been demonstrated to be competitive and promising candidates for GHG separation, storage and conversions as they shows facile preparation, large porosity, adjustable nanostructure, abundant topology, and tunable physicochemical property. Enormous progress has been made in GHG storage and separation intrinsically stemmed from the different interaction between guest molecule and host framework from MOF itself in the recent five years. Meanwhile, the use of porous MOF materials to transform GHG and the influence of external conditions on the adsorption performance of MOFs for GHG are also enclosed. In this review, it is also highlighted that the existing challenges and future directions are discussed and envisioned in the rational design, facile synthesis and comprehensive utilization of MOFs and their derivatives for practical applications.

Abstract
CO2 emissions in the atmosphere have been increasing rapidly in recent years, causing global warming. CO2 methanation reaction is deemed to be a way to combat these emissions by converting CO2 into synthetic natural gas, i.e., CH4. NiRu/CeAl and NiRu/CeZr both demonstrated favourable activity for CO2 methanation, with NiRu/CeAl approaching equilibrium conversion at 350 °C with 100% CH4 selectivity. Its stability under high space velocity (400 L·g-1·h-1) was also commendable. By adding an adsorbent, potassium, the CO2 adsorption capability of NiRu/CeAl was boosted, allowing it to function as a dual-function material (DFM) for integrated CO2 capture and utilisation, producing 0.264 mol of CH4/kg of sample from captured CO2. Furthermore, time-resolved operando DRIFTS-MS measurements were performed to gain insights into the process mechanism. The obtained results demonstrate that CO2 was captured on basic sites and was also dissociated on metallic sites in such a way that during the reduction step, methane was produced by two different pathways. This study reveals that by adding an adsorbent to the formulation of an effective NiRu methanation catalyst, advanced dual-function materials can be designed.

Abstract
The direct catalytic conversion of atmospheric CO2 to valuable chemicals is a promising solution to avert negative consequences of rising CO2 concentration. However, heterogeneous catalysts efficient at low partial pressures of CO2 still need to be developed. Here, we explore Co/CeO2 as a catalyst for the methanation of diluted CO2 streams. This material displays an excellent performance at reaction temperatures as low as 175 °C and CO2 partial pressures as low as 0.4 mbar (the atmospheric CO2 concentration). To gain mechanistic understanding of this unusual activity, we employed in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and operando infrared spectroscopy. The higher surface concentration and reactivity of formates and carbonyls-key reaction intermediates-explain the superior activity of Co/CeO2 as compared to a conventional Co/SiO2 catalyst. This work emphasizes the catalytic role of the cobalt-ceria interface and will aid in developing more efficient CO2 hydrogenation catalysts.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) core-sheath nanofibers, platinum (Pt)-loaded ceria (CeO2) sheath on mesoporous silica (SiO2) core were fabricated, characterized, and used as catalysts for the reverse water gas shift reaction (RWGS). CeO2 nanofibers (NFs) were first prepared by electrospinning (ES), and then Pt nanoparticles were loaded on the CeO2 NFs using two different deposition methods: wet impregnation and solvothermal. A mesoporous SiO2 sheath layer was then deposited by sol-gel process. The phase composition, structural, and morphological properties of synthesized materials were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption/desorption method, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis, and CO2 temperature programmed desorption (CO2-TPD). The results of these characterization techniques revealed that the core-sheath NFs with a core diameter between 100 and 300 nm and a sheath thickness of about 40-100 nm with a Pt loading of around 0.5 wt.% were successfully obtained. The impregnated catalyst, Pt-CeO2 NF@mesoporous SiO2, showed the best catalytic performance with a CO2 conversion of 8.9% at 350 °C, as compared to the sample prepared by the Solvothermal method. More than 99% selectivity of CO was achieved for all core-sheath NF-catalysts.

Abstract
Polarizable shell-model potentials are widely used for atomic-scale modeling of charged defects in solids using the Mott-Littleton approach and hybrid Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical (QM/MM) embedded-cluster techniques. However, at the pure MM level of theory, the calculated defect energetics may not satisfy the requirement of quantitative predictions and are limited to only certain charged states. Here, we proposed a novel interatomic potential development scheme that unifies the predictions of all relevant charged defects in CeO2 based on the Mott-Littleton approach and QM/MM electronic-structure calculations. The predicted formation energies of oxygen vacancies accompanied by different excess electron localization patterns at the MM level of theory reach the accuracy of density functional theory (DFT) calculations using hybrid functionals. The new potential also accurately reproduces a wide range of physical properties of CeO2, showing excellent agreement with experimental and other computational studies. These findings provide opportunities for accurate large-scale modeling of the partial reduction and nonstoichiometry in CeO2, as well as a prototype for developing robust interatomic potentials for other defective crystals.

Abstract
The development of Ce-based materials is directly dependent on the catalyst surface defects, which is caused by the calcination steps required to increase structural stability. At the same time, the evaluation of cerium's redox properties under reaction conditions is of increasing relevant importance. The synthesis of Ce-UiO-66 and CeZr-UiO-66 and their subsequent calcination are presented here as a simple and inexpensive approach for achieving homogeneous and stable CeO2 and CeZrOx nanocrystals. The resulting materials constitute an ideal case study to thoroughly understand cerium redox properties. The Ce3+/Ce4+ redox properties are investigated by H2-TPR experiments exploited by in situ FT-IR and Ce M5-edge AP-NEXAFS spectroscopy. In the latter case, Ce3+ formation is quantified using the MCR-ALS protocol. FT-IR is then presented as a high potential/easily accessible technique for extracting valuable information about the cerium oxidation state under operating conditions. The dependence of the OH stretching vibration frequency on temperature and Ce reduction is described, providing a novel tool for qualitative monitoring of surface oxygen vacancy formation. Based on the reported results, the molecular absorption coefficient of the Ce3+ characteristic IR transition is tentatively evaluated, thus providing a basis for future Ce3+ quantification through FT-IR spectroscopy. Finally, the FT-IR limitations for Ce3+ quantification are discussed.

Abstract
Oxides are essential catalysts and supports for noble metal catalysts. Their interaction with hydrogen enables, e.g., their use as a hydrogenation catalyst. Among the oxides considered reducible, substantial differences exist in their capability to activate hydrogen and how the oxide structure transforms due to this interaction. Noble metals, like platinum, generally enhance the oxide reduction by hydrogen spillover. This work presents a systematic temperature-programmed reduction study (300 to 873 K) of iron oxide, ceria, titania, zirconia, and alumina, with and without supported platinum. For all catalysts, platinum enhances the reducibility of the oxide. However, there are pronounced differences among all catalysts.

Abstract
The catalytic conversion of CO2 to CO by the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction followed by well-established synthesis gas conversion technologies could be a practical technique to convert CO2 to valuable chemicals and fuels in industrial settings. For catalyst developers, prevention of side reactions like methanation, low-temperature activity, and selectivity enhancements for the RWGS reaction are crucial concerns. Cerium oxide (ceria, CeO2) has received considerable attention in recent years due to its exceptional physical and chemical properties. This study reviews the use of ceria-supported active metal catalysts in RWGS reaction along with discussing some basic and fundamental features of ceria. The RWGS reaction mechanism, reaction kinetics on supported catalysts, as well as the importance of oxygen vacancies are also explored. Besides, recent advances in CeO2 supported metal catalyst design strategies for increasing CO2 conversion activity and selectivity towards CO are systematically identified, summarized, and assessed to understand the impacts of physicochemical parameters on catalytic performance such as morphologies, nanosize effects, compositions, promotional abilities, metal-support interactions (MSI) and the role of selected synthesis procedures for forming distinct structural morphologies. This brief review may help with future RWGS catalyst design and optimization.

Abstract
The feasibility of a Dual Function Material (DFM) with a versatile catalyst offering switchable chemical synthesis from carbon dioxide (CO2) was demonstrated for the first time, showing evidence of the ability of these DFMs to passively capture CO2 directly from the air as well. These DFMs open up possibilities in flexible chemical production from dilute sources of CO2, through a combination of CO2 adsorption and subsequent chemical transformation (methanation, reverse water gas shift or dry reforming of methane). Combinations of Ni Ru bimetallic catalyst with Na2O, K2O or CaO adsorbent were supported on CeO2-Al2O3 to develop flexible DFMs. The designed multicomponent materials were shown to reversibly adsorb CO2 between the 350 and 650 °C temperature range and were easily regenerated by an inert gas purge stream. The components of the flexible DFMs showed a high degree of interaction with each other, which evidently enhanced their CO2 capture performance ranging from 0.14 to 0.49 mol kg-1. It was shown that captured CO2 could be converted into useful products through either CO2 methanation, reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) or dry reforming of methane (DRM), which provides flexibility in terms of co-reactant (hydrogen vs. methane) and end product (synthetic natural gas, syngas or CO) by adjusting reaction conditions. The best DFM was the one containing CaO, producing 104 μmol of CH4 per kgDFM in CO2 methanation, 58 μmol of CO per kgDFM in RWGS and 338 μmol of CO per kgDFM in DRM.

Abstract
Ceria-based catalysts exhibit great activity in catalyzing selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. However, the underlying mechanism of this reaction, especially the generation of active H species, remains unclear. In this work, we performed extensive density functional theory calculations corrected by on-site Coulomb interaction (DFT + U) to investigate the H2 dissociation and the reaction between the active H species and CO2 on the pristine and Cu-doped CeO2(111) (denoted as Cu/CeO2(111)) surfaces. Our calculations evidenced that the heterolytic H2 dissociation for hydride generation can more readily occur on the Cu/CeO2(111) surface than on the pristine CeO2(111) surface. We also found that the Cu dopant can facilitate the formation of surface oxygen vacancies, further promoting the generation of hydride species. Moreover, the adsorption of CO2 and the hydrogenation of CO2 to HCOO* can be greatly promoted on the Cu/CeO2(111) surface with hydride species, which can lead to the high activity and selectivity toward CO2 hydrogenation to methanol.

Abstract
The rise of CO2 in atmosphere is considered as the major reason for global warming. Therefore, CO2 utilization has attracted more and more attention. Among those, using CO2 as C1-feedstock for the chemical industry provides a solution. Here we show a two-step cascade process to perform catalytic carbonylations of olefins, alkynes, and aryl halides utilizing CO2 and H2. For the first step, a novel heterogeneous copper 10Cu@SiO2-PHM catalyst exhibits high selectivity (≥98%) and decent conversion (27%) in generating CO from reducing CO2 with H2. The generated CO is directly utilized without further purification in industrially important carbonylation reactions: hydroformylation, alkoxycarbonylation, and aminocarbonylation. Notably, various aldehydes, (unsaturated) esters and amides are obtained in high yields and chemo-/regio-selectivities at low temperature under ambient pressure. Our approach is of interest for continuous syntheses in drug discovery and organic synthesis to produce building blocks on reasonable scale utilizing CO2.

Abstract
Atomically precise cerium oxo clusters offer a platform to investigate structure-property relationships that are much more complex in the ill-defined bulk material cerium dioxide. We investigated the activity of the MCe70 torus family (M = Cd, Ce, Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, and Zn), a family of discrete oxysulfate-based Ce70 rings linked by monomeric cation units, for CO oxidation. CuCe70 emerged as the best performing MCe70 catalyst among those tested, prompting our exploration of the role of the interfacial unit on catalytic activity. Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) studies of the catalysts indicated a lower temperature reduction in CuCe70 as compared to CeCe70. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) indicated that CuCe70 exhibited a faster formation of Ce3+ and contained CO bridging sites absent in CeCe70. Isothermal CO adsorption measurements demonstrated a greater uptake of CO by CuCe70 as compared to CeCe70. The calculated energies for the formation of a single oxygen defect in the structure significantly decreased with the presence of Cu at the linkage site as opposed to Ce. This study revealed that atomic-level changes in the interfacial unit can change the reducibility, CO binding/uptake, and oxygen vacancy defect formation energetics in the MCe70 family to thus tune their catalytic activity.

Abstract
Realizing the high value-added utilization of cheap minerals in environmental catalysis has important practical significance. Herein, four nano-scale minerals, namely halloysite (Hal) nanotubes, palygorskite (Pal) nanorods, and montmorillonite (Mon) and hydrotalcite (LDH) nanosheets, were selected for in-situ supporting CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. Among various nanocomposites (NCs), CeO2/Pal behaves the highest peroxidase-like activity, attributing to larger surface area for uniformly dispersing CeO2 NPs and more exposed active oxygen vacancy (Ovac) defects. A novel off-on colorimetric strategy was constructed for detecting toxic L-penicillamine (LPA) and Cu2+ ion with limit of detections (LODs) of 8.37 and 9.80 μM, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the Ovac defect on CeO2(111) surface can catalyze the heterolytic cleavage of H2O2 into H2O and oxygen radical (•O), instead of being two hydroxyl radicals (•OH) on clean surface. It can also act as trapping site for O2 and H2O adsorption, improving the oxygen affinity and hydrophilicity of CeO2/Pal. This study provides a feasible strategy for designing mineral-based nanozymes and an insight into the possible catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 conversion into a high-value-added C2 product is a highly challenging task because of insufficient electron deliverability and sluggish C-C coupling kinetics. Engineering catalytic interfaces in photocatalysts provides a promising approach to manipulate photoinduced charge carriers and create multiple catalytic sites for boosting the generation of C2 product from CO2 reduction. Herein, a Cuδ+/CeO2-TiO2 photocatalyst that contains atomically dispersed Cuδ+ sites anchored on the CeO2-TiO2 heterostructures consisting of highly dispersed CeO2 nanoparticles on porous TiO2 is designedly constructed by the pyrolytic transformation of a Cu2+-Ce3+/MIL-125-NH2 precursor. In the designed photocatalyst, TiO2 acts as a light-harvesting material for generating electron-hole pairs that are efficiently separated by CeO2-TiO2 interfaces, and the Cu-Ce dual active sites synergistically facilitate the generation and dimerization of *CO intermediates, thus lowering the energy barrier of C-C coupling. As a consequence, the Cuδ+/CeO2-TiO2 photocatalyst exhibits a production rate of 4.51 μmol-1·gcat-1·h-1 and 73.9% selectivity in terms of electron utilization for CO2 to C2H4 conversion under simulated sunlight, with H2O as hydrogen source and hole scavenger. The photocatalytic mechanism is revealed by operando spectroscopic methods as well as theoretical calculations. This study displays the rational construction of heterogeneous photocatalysts for boosting CO2 conversion and emphasizes the synergistic effect of multiple active sites in enhancing the selectivity of C2 product.

Abstract
In this work, the H2 dissociation and acetylene hydrogenation on Cu doped CeO2(111) were studied using density functional theory calculations. The results indicated that Cu doping promotes the formation of oxygen vacancy (Ov) which creates Cu/O and Ce/O frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). With the help of Cu/O FLP, H2 dissociation can firstly proceed via a heterolytic mechanism to produce Cu-H and O-H by overcoming a barrier of 0.40 eV. The H on Cu can facilely migrate to a nearby oxygen to form another O-H species with a barrier of 0.43 eV. The rate-determining barrier is lower than that for homolytic dissociation of H2 which produces two O-H species. C2H2 hydrogenation can proceed with a rate-determining barrier of 1.00 eV at the presence of Cu-H and O-H species., While C2H2 can be catalyzed by two O-H groups with a rate-determining barrier of 1.06 eV, which is significantly lower than that (2.86 eV) of C2H2 hydrogenated by O-H groups on the bare CeO2(111), showing the high activity of Cu doped CeO2(111) for acetylene hydrogenation. In addition, the rate-determining barrier of C2H4 further hydrogenated by two O-H groups is 1.53 eV, much higher than its desorption energy (0.72 eV), suggesting the high selectivity of Cu doped CeO2(111) for C2H2 partial hydrogenation. This provides new insights to develop effective hydrogenation catalysts based on metal oxide.
