Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) are versatile materials with unique and unusual properties that vary depending on their surface chemistry, size, shape, coating, oxidation states, crystallinity, dopant, and structural and surface defects. This review encompasses advances made over the past twenty years in the development of CeNPs and ceria-based nanostructures, the structural determinants affecting their activity, and translation of these distinct features into applications. The two oxidation states of nanosized CeNPs (Ce3+/Ce4+) coexisting at the nanoscale level facilitate the formation of oxygen vacancies and defect states, which confer extremely high reactivity and oxygen buffering capacity and the ability to act as catalysts for oxidation and reduction reactions. However, the method of synthesis, surface functionalization, surface coating and defects are important factors in determining their properties. This review highlights key properties of CeNPs, their synthesis, interactions, and reaction pathways and provides examples of emerging applications. Due to their unique properties, CeNPs have become quintessential candidates for catalysis, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), sensing, biomedical applications, and environmental remediation, with tremendous potential to create novel products and translational innovations in a wide range of industries. This review highlights the timely relevance and the transformative potential of these materials in addressing societal challenges and driving technological advancements across these fields.

Abstract
Oxygen vacancy engineering in transition metal oxides is an effective strategy for improving catalytic performance. Herein, defect-enriched Mn2O3 catalysts were constructed by controlling the calcination temperature. The high content of oxygen vacancies and accompanying Mn4+ ions were generated in Mn2O3 catalysts calcined at low temperature, which could greatly improve the low-temperature reducibility and migration of surface oxygen species. DFT theoretical calculations further confirmed that molecular oxygen and toluene were easily adsorbed over defective α-Mn2O3 (222) facets with an energy of -0.29 and -0.48 eV, respectively, and corresponding OO bond length is stretched to 1.43 Å, resulting in the highly reactive oxygen species. Mn2O3-300 catalyst with abundant oxygen vacancies exhibited the highest specific reaction rate and lowest activation energy. Furthermore, the optimized catalyst possessed the outstanding stability, water tolerance and CO2 yield. In comparison with the fresh Mn2O3-300 catalyst, the physical structure and surface property of the used catalyst remained almost unchanged regardless of whether undergoing the stability test at consecutive catalytic runs as well as high temperature, and water resistance test. In situ DRIFTS spectra further elucidated that introducing the water vapor had little effect on the reaction intermediates, indicating the excellent durability of the defect-enriched catalyst.

Abstract
The evolution of nanotechnology has facilitated the development of catalytic materials with controllable composition and size, reaching the sub-nanometer limit. Nowadays, a viable strategy for tailoring and optimizing the catalytic activity involves controlling the size of the catalyst. This strategy is underpinned by the fact that the properties and reactivity of objects with dimensions on the order of nanometers can differ from those of the corresponding bulk material, due to the emergence of quantum size effects. Quantum size effects have a deep influence on the band gap of semiconducting catalytic materials. Computational studies are valuable for predicting and estimating the impact of quantum size effects. This perspective emphasizes the crucial role of modeling quantum size effects when simulating nanostructured catalytic materials. It provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles governing the physics of quantum confinement in various experimentally observable nanostructures. Furthermore, this work may serve as a tutorial for modeling the electronic gap of simple nanostructures, highlighting that when working at the nanoscale, the finite dimensions of the material lead to an increase of the band gap because of the emergence of quantum confinement. This aspect is sometimes overlooked in computational chemistry studies focused on surfaces and nanostructures.

Abstract
The morphology of surfactant-assisted mesoporous metal oxides was tuned to obtain high surface-area particles by utilizing the synthetic conditions for fabricating transparent thin films through an evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) process. For investigating their potential applications, especially for designing heterogeneous catalysts, mesoporous metal oxides should be obtained in powder forms; however, a serious limitation associated with their reproducibility persists. Herein, along with a rapid optimization approach, starting from determining and improving chemical composition for the fabrication of mesoporous metal oxide films, an advanced approach to obtain highly porous metal oxide powders is presented using a temperature-controlled spray-drying process with step-by-step but smooth optimization by combining several EISA processes, involving the utilization of a precursor solution optimized for a slow-drying process in the case of ceria (CeO2) using poly(styrene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO).

Abstract
To meet the requirements in air quality monitors for the public and industrial safety, sensors are required that can selectively detect the concentration of gaseous pollutants down to the parts per million (ppm) and ppb (parts per billion) levels. Herein, we report a remarkable NH3 sensor using Ni-doped CeO2 octahedral nanostructure which efficiently detects NH3 as low as 45 ppb at room temperature. The Ni-doped CeO2 sensor exhibits the maximum response of 42 towards 225 ppm NH3, which is ten-fold higher than pure CeO2. The improved sensing performance is caused by the enhancement of oxygen vacancy, bandgap narrowing, and redox property of CeO2 caused by Ni doping. Density functional theory confirms that O vacancy with Ni at Ce site (VONiCe) augments the sensing capabilities. The Bader charge analysis predicts the amount of charge transfer (0.04 e) between the Ni-CeO2 surface and the NH3 molecule. As well, the high negative adsorption energy (≈750 meV) and lowest distance (1.40 Å) of the NH3 molecule from the sensor surface lowers the detection limit. The present work enlightens the fabrication of sensing elements through defect engineering for ultra-trace detection of NH3 to be useful further in the field of sensor applications.

Abstract
Effective neuroprotective agents are required to prevent neurological damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) following an acute ischemic stroke. Herein, it is aimed to develop the neuroprotective agents of cerium oxide loaded with platinum clusters engineered modifications (Ptn-CeO2). The density functional theory calculations show that Ptn-CeO2 could effectively scavenge ROS, including hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anions (·O2 -). In addition, Ptn-CeO2 exhibits the superoxide dismutase- and catalase-like enzyme activities, which is capable of scavenging hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The in vitro studies show that Ptn-CeO2 could adjust the restoration of the mitochondrial metabolism to ROS homeostasis, rebalance cytokines, and feature high biocompatibility. The studies in mice CIRI demonstrate that Ptn-CeO2 could also restore cytokine levels, reduce cysteine aspartate-specific protease (cleaved Caspase 3) levels, and induce the polarization of microglia to M2-type macrophages, thus inhibiting the inflammatory responses. As a result, Ptn-CeO2 inhibits the reperfusion-induced neuronal apoptosis, relieves the infarct volume, reduces the neurological severity score, and improves cognitive function. Overall, these findings suggest that the prominent neuroprotective effect of the engineered Ptn-CeO2 has a significant neuroprotective effect and provides a potential therapeutic alternative for CIRI.

Abstract
CeO2 is a popular material in heterogeneous catalysis, molecular sensors, and electronics and owes many of its special properties to the redox activity of Ce, present as both Ce3+ and Ce4+. However, the reduction of CeO2 with H2 (thought to occur through proton-electron transfer (PET) giving Ce3+ and new OH bonds) is poorly understood due to the high reduction temperatures necessary and the ill-defined nature of the hydrogen atom sources typically used. We have previously shown that transition-metal hydrides with weak M-H bonds react with reducible metal oxides at room temperature by PET. Here, we show that CpCr(CO)3H (1) transfers protons and electrons to CeO2 due to its weak Cr-H bond. We can titrate CeO2 with 1 and measure not only the number of surface Ce3+ sites formed (in agreement with X-ray absorption spectroscopy) but also the lower limit of the hydrogen atom adsorption free energy (HAFE). The results match the extent of reduction achieved from H2 treatment and hydrogen spillover on CeO2 in a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) play an indispensable role in the cyclic utilization of carbon resources due to its high volumetric energy density, high efficiency, and environmental benign character. However, owing to the chemically stable carbon-carbon (C─C) bond of ethanol, its incomplete electrooxidation at the anode severely inhibits the energy and power density output of DEFCs. The efficiency of C─C bond cleaving on the state-of-the-art Pt or Pd catalysts is reported as low as 7.5%. Recently, tremendous efforts are devoted to this field, and some effective strategies are put forward to facilitate the cleavage of the C─C bond. It is the right time to summarize the major breakthroughs in ethanol electrooxidation reaction. In this review, some optimization strategies including constructing core-shell nanostructure with alloying effect, doping other metal atoms in Pt and Pd catalysts, engineering composite catalyst with interface synergism, introducing cascade catalytic sites, and so on, are systematically summarized. In addition, the catalytic mechanism as well as the correlations between the catalyst structure and catalytic efficiency are further discussed. Finally, the prevailing limitations and feasible improvement directions for ethanol electrooxidation are proposed.

Abstract
The structure of catalysts determines the performance of catalytic processes. Intrinsically, the electronic and geometric structures influence the interaction between active species and the surface of the catalyst, which subsequently regulates the adsorption, reaction, and desorption behaviors. In recent decades, the development of catalysts with complex structures, including bulk, interfacial, encapsulated, and atomically dispersed structures, can potentially affect the electronic and geometric structures of catalysts and lead to further control of the transport and reaction of molecules. This review describes comprehensive understandings on the influence of electronic and geometric properties and complex catalyst structures on the performance of relevant heterogeneous catalytic processes, especially for the transport and reaction over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules. The recent research progress of the electronic and geometric properties over the active sites, specifically for theoretical descriptors developed in the recent decades, is discussed at the atomic level. The designs and properties of catalysts with specific structures are summarized. The transport phenomena and reactions over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules are analyzed. At the end of this review, we present our perspectives on the challenges for the further development of structured catalysts and heterogeneous catalytic processes.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticle (NP) sintering is a major cause of catalyst deactivation, as NP growth reduces the surface area available for reaction. A promising route to halt sintering is to deposit a protective overcoat on the catalyst surface, followed by annealing to generate overlayer porosity for gas transport to the NPs. Yet, such a combined deposition-annealing approach lacks structural control over the cracked protection layer and the number of NP surface atoms available for reaction. Herein, we exploit the tailoring capabilities of atomic layer deposition (ALD) to deposit MgO overcoats on archetypal Pt NP catalysts with thicknesses ranging from sub-monolayers to nm-range thin films. Two different ALD processes are studied for the growth of MgO overcoats on Pt NPs anchored on a SiO2 support, using Mg(EtCp)2 and H2O, and Mg(TMHD)2 and O3, respectively. Spectroscopic ellipsometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal significant growth on both SiO2 and Pt for the former process, while the latter exhibits a drastically lower growth per cycle with an initial chemical selectivity towards Pt. These differences in MgO growth characteristics have implications for the availability of uncoated Pt surface atoms at different stages of the ALD process, as probed by low energy ion scattering, and for the sintering behavior during O2 annealing, as monitored in situ with grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (in situ GISAXS). The Mg(TMHD)2-O3 ALD process enables exquisite coverage control allowing a balance between physically blocking the Pt surface to prevent sintering and keeping Pt surface atoms free for reaction. This approach avoids the need for post-annealing, hence also safeguarding the structural integrity of the as-deposited overcoat.

Vitamin C-regulated CoAl- layered double hydroxide with oxygen vacancies to efficiently activate peroxydisulfate for sulfamethoxazole removal triggered via reactive oxygen and high-valent cobalt species. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 351:141207. [PMID: 38266877 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a vitamin C-regulated CoAl-layered double hydroxide with abundant oxygen vacancies was synthesized via a simple hydrothermal process. The resulting CoAl-layered double hydroxide was employed to activate peroxydisulfate for removal of sulfamethoxazole. The effect of the experimental parameters such as pH, catalyst dose and peroxydisulfate concentration on sulfamethoxazole removal was investigated. The current system exhibited excellent catalytic performance for sulfamethoxazole removal in a broad pH range (i.e., pH 3.0-11.0). Under the optimized condition, 94.2% of sulfamethoxazole was degraded within 15 min, accompanied by a 67.6% reduction in chemical oxygen demand. The effective sulfamethoxazole degradation could be attributed to four pathways. Firstly, the ≡ Co2+ in catalyst reacted with peroxydisulfate to generate reactive species, including SO4•-, •OH, O2•- and 1O2, which could degrade sulfamethoxazole. Secondly, the oxygen vacancies could modulate intrinsic electrons, resulted in the surface activation of catalyst and accelerated charge transfer, which was favorable for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole. Thirdly, the presence of vitamin C not only promoted the formation of oxygen vacancies but also expanded the interlayer spacing of layered double hydroxide. A large interlayer spacing facilitated the diffusion of peroxydisulfate and pollutants in the interlayer and improved the utilization efficiency of the active site. Lastly, the high-valent cobalt species exhibited excellent oxidation ability and enhanced the catalyst performance through continuously being employed as an electron acceptor. This study provided a valuable insight for the design and application of Co-based catalysts in peroxydisulfate-based advanced oxidation processes.

Abstract
The decomposition of methanol-d4 (CD3OD) on Rh nanoclusters grown by the deposition of Rh vapors onto an ordered thin film of Al2O3/NiAl(100) was studied, with various surface-probe techniques and largely under near-ambient-pressure (NAP) conditions. The results showed a superior reactivity of small Rh clusters (diameter < 1.5 nm) exposed to CD3OD at 5 × 10-3-0.1 mbar at 400 K; the gaseous production of CO and D2 from decomposed methanol-d4 per Rh surface site on the small Rh clusters with diameters of ∼1.1 nm was nearly 8 times that on large ones with diameters of ∼3.5 nm. The promotion of reactivity with decreased cluster size under NAP conditions was evidently greater than that under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Moreover, the concentration of atomic carbon (C*; where * denotes adsorbate)-a key catalyst poisoner-yielded from the dissociation of CO* from dehydrogenated methanol-d4 was significantly smaller on small clusters (diameter < 1.5 nm). The NAP size effect on methanol-d4 decomposition involved the surface hydroxyl (OH*) from the little co-adsorbed water (H2O*) that was dissociated at a probability dependent on the cluster size. H2O* was more likely dissociated into OH* on small Rh clusters, by virtue of their more reactive d-band structure, and the OH* then effectively promoted the O-D cleavage of methanol-d4, as the rate-determining step, and thus the reaction probability; on the other hand, the OH* limited CO* dissociation on small Rh clusters via both adsorbate and lateral effects. These results suggest that the superior properties of small Rh clusters in both reactivity and anti-poisoning would persist and be highly applicable under "real-world" catalysis conditions.

Abstract
The free radical generation efficiency of nanozymes in cancer therapy is crucial, but current methods fall short. Alloy nanoparticles (ANs) hold promise for improving catalytic performance due to their inherent electronic effect, but there are limited ways to modulate this effect. Here, a self-driven electric field (E) system utilizing triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and AuPd ANs with glucose oxidase (GOx)-like, catalase (CAT)-like, and peroxidase (POD)-like activities is presented to enhance the treatment of 4T1 breast cancer in mice. The E stimulation from TENG enhances the orbital electrons of AuPd ANs, resulting in increased CAT-like, GOx-like, and POD-like activities. Meanwhile, the catalytic cascade reaction of AuPd ANs is further amplified after catalyzing the production of H2 O2 from the GOx-like activities. This leads to 89.5% tumor inhibition after treatment. The self-driven E strategy offers a new way to enhance electronic effects and improve cascade catalytic therapeutic performance of AuPd ANs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
This work evaluates the feasibility of alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using Pt single-atoms (1.0 wt %) on defect-rich ceria (Pt1/CeOx) as an active and stable dual-site catalyst. The catalyst displayed a low overpotential and a small Tafel slope in an alkaline medium. Moreover, Pt1/CeOx presented a high mass activity and excellent durability, competing with those of the commercial Pt/C (20 wt %). In this picture, the defective CeOx is active for water adsorption and dissociation to create H* intermediates, providing the first site where the reaction occurs. The H* intermediate species then migrate to adsorb and react on the Pt2+ isolated atoms, the site where H2 is formed and released. DFT calculations were also performed to obtain mechanistic insight on the Pt1/CeOx catalyst for the HER. The results indicate a new possibility to improve the state-of-the-art alkaline HER catalysts via a combined effect of the O vacancies on the ceria support and Pt2+ single atoms.

Abstract
The interaction between a metal and a support, which is known as the metal-support interaction, often plays a determining role in the catalytic properties of supported metal catalysts. Herein, we have developed model Pt/CeO2 catalysts, which enabled us to investigate the interface atomic and electronic structures between Pt and the {001}, {011}, and {111} planes of CeO2 using scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy. We found that the number of Ce3+ ions around the Pt nanoparticles followed the order {001} > {011} > {111}, which was the opposite order of the generally accepted stability of low index surfaces of CeO2. Systematic first-principles calculations revealed that the presence of Pt nanoparticles facilitated the formation of oxygen vacancies and that the appearance of the Ptδ+ state was preferred when Pt nanoparticles were in contact with CeO2 {001} planes due to direct charge transfer from Pt to CeO2. These results provide important insights into the nature of the metal-support interaction for a comprehensive understanding of the properties of supported metal catalysts.

Abstract
Maintaining the stability of noble metals is the key to the long-term stability of supported catalysts. In response to the instability of noble metal species at high temperatures, we developed a synergistic strategy of dual oxide supports. By designing and constructing ceria components with small sizes, we have achieved unity in the ability of catalytic materials to supply oxygen and stabilize metal species. In this study, we prepared Al2O3-CeO2-Pd (AlCePd) catalysts containing trace amounts of Ce through the hydrolysis of cerium acetate, which achieved 100% CO conversion at 160 °C. More importantly, the activity remained at its initial 100% in the long-term durability testing, demonstrating the high stability of AlCePd. In contrast, the CO conversion of the CeO2-Pd (CePd) catalyst decreased from 100% to 54% within 3 h. Through comprehensive studies, we found that this excellent catalytic performance stems from the stabilizing effect of an alumina support and the possible reverse oxygen spillover effect of small-sized ceria components, where small-sized ceria components provide active oxygen for independent Pd species, making it possible for the CO adsorbed on Pd to react with this oxygen species.

Abstract
Simultaneous optimization of the energy level of water dissociation, hydrogen and hydroxide desorption is the key to achieving fast kinetics for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, the well-dispersed Ru clusters on the surface of amorphous/crystalline CeO2-δ (Ru/ac-CeO2-δ ) is demonstrated to be an excellent electrocatalyst for significantly boosting the alkaline HER kinetics owing to the presence of unique oxygen vacancy (VO ) and Ru Lewis acid-base pairs (LABPs). The representative Ru/ac-CeO2-δ exhibits an outstanding mass activity of 7180 mA mgRu -1 that is approximately 9 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C at the potential of -0.1 V (V vs RHE) and an extremely low overpotential of 21.2 mV at a geometric current density of 10 mA cm-2 . Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the VO as Lewis acid sites facilitate the adsorption of H2 O and cleavage of H-OH bonds, meanwhile, the weak Lewis basic Ru clusters favor for the hydrogen desorption. Importantly, the desorption of OH from VO sites is accelerated via a water-assisted proton exchange pathway, and thus boost the kinetics of alkaline HER. This study sheds new light on the design of high-efficiency electrocatalysts with LABPs for the enhanced alkaline HER.

Abstract
Coupling plasmonic and functional materials provides a promising way to generate multifunctional structures. However, finding plasmonic nanomaterials and elucidating the roles of various geometric and dielectric configurations are tedious. This work describes a combinatorial approach to rapidly exploring and identifying plasmonic heteronanomaterials. Symmetry-broken noble/non-noble metal particle heterojunctions (~100 nanometers) were synthesized on multiwindow silicon chips with silicon nitride membranes. The metal types and the interface locations were controlled to establish a nanoparticle library, where the particle morphology and scattering color can be rapidly screened. By correlating structural data with near- and far-field single-particle spectroscopy data, we found that certain low-energy plasmonic modes could be supported across the heterointerface, while others are localized. Furthermore, we found a series of triangular heteronanoplates stabilized by epitaxial Moiré superlattices, which show strong plasmonic responses despite largely comprising a lossy metal (~70 atomic %). These architectures can become the basis for multifunctional and cost-effective plasmonic devices.

Abstract
Periodic density functional theory is used to evaluate the minimum energy pathways of CO oxidation on cerium oxide-supported platinum and palladium nanoclusters (Pt/CeO2 and Pd/CeO2). For Pt/CeO2, the oxidation process involves the participation of lattice oxygen from CeO2 at the boundary sites of the cluster-ceria interface, which exhibits an exceptionally low energy barrier. Conversely, on Pd/CeO2, oxidation predominantly occurs through oxygen species bound to the Pd cluster. Experimental analysis using the temperature-programmed reduction of the oxidized Pd/CeO2 catalyst reveals a lower CO oxidation temperature compared to Pt/CeO2. This observation aligns with the anticipated decrease in the energy barrier for CO oxidation due to the oxygen coverage of the Pd cluster.

Abstract
Electronic metal-support interactions affect the chemical and catalytic properties of metal particles supported on reducible metal oxides, but their characterization is challenging due to the complexity of the electronic structure of these systems. These interactions often involve different states with varying numbers and positions of strongly correlated d or f electrons and the corresponding polarons. In this work, we present an approach to characterize electronic metal-support interactions by means of computationally efficient density functional calculations within the projector augmented wave method. We describe Ce3+ cations with potentials that include a Ce4f electron in the frozen core, overcoming prevalent convergence and 4f electron localization issues. We systematically explore the stability and chemical properties of different electronic states for a Pt8/CeO2(111) model system, revealing the predominant effect of electronic metal-support interactions on Pt atoms located directly at the metal-oxide interface. Adsorption energies and the reactivity of these interface Pt atoms vary significantly upon donation of electrons to the oxide support, pointing to a strategy to selectively activate interfacial sites of metal particles supported on reducible metal oxides.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) under ambient conditions provides an intriguing pathway to convert N2 into NH3 . However, significant kinetic barriers of the NRR at low temperatures in desirable aqueous electrolytes remain a grand challenge due to the inert N≡N bond of the N2 molecule. Herein, we propose a unique strategy for in situ oxygen vacancy construction to address the significant trade-off between N2 adsorption and NH3 desorption by building a hollow shell structured Fe3 C/Fe3 O4 heterojunction coated with carbon frameworks (Fe3 C/Fe3 O4 @C). In the heterostructure, the Fe3 C triggers the oxygen vacancies of the Fe3 O4 component, which are likely active sites for the NRR. The design could optimize the adsorption strength of the N2 and Nx Hy intermediates, thus boosting the catalytic activity for the NRR. This work highlights the significance of the interaction between defect and interface engineering for regulating electrocatalytic properties of heterostructured catalysts for the challenging NRR. It could motivate an in-depth exploration to advance N2 reduction to ammonia.

Abstract
Supported oxides are widely used in many important catalytic reactions, in which the interaction between the oxide catalyst and oxide support is critical but still remains elusive. Here, we construct a chemically bonded oxide-oxide interface by chemical deposition of Co3O4 onto ZnO powder (Co3O4/ZnO), in which complete reduction of Co3O4 to Co0 has been strongly impeded. It was revealed that the local interfacial confinement effect between Co oxide and the ZnO support helps to maintain a metastable CoOx state in CO2 hydrogenation reaction, producing 93% CO. In contrast, a physically contacted oxide-oxide interface was formed by mechanically mixing Co3O4 and ZnO powders (Co3O4-ZnO), in which reduction of Co3O4 to Co0 was significantly promoted, demonstrating a quick increase of CO2 conversion to 45% and a high selectivity toward CH4 (92%) in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction. This interface effect is ascribed to unusual remote spillover of dissociated hydrogen species from ZnO nanoparticles to the neighboring Co oxide nanoparticles. This work clearly illustrates the equally important but opposite local and remote effects at the oxide-oxide interfaces. The distinct oxide-oxide interactions contribute to many diverse interface phenomena in oxide-oxide catalytic systems.

Abstract
The catalytic performance of heterogeneous catalysts can be tuned by modulation of the size and structure of supported transition metals, which are typically regarded as the active sites. In single-atom metal catalysts, the support itself can strongly affect the catalytic properties. Here, we demonstrate that the size of cerium dioxide (CeO2) support governs the reactivity of atomically dispersed palladium (Pd) in carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. Catalysts with small CeO2 nanocrystals (~4 nanometers) exhibit unusually high activity in a CO-rich reaction feed, whereas catalysts with medium-size CeO2 (~8 nanometers) are preferred for lean conditions. Detailed spectroscopic investigations reveal support size-dependent redox properties of the Pd-CeO2 interface.

Abstract
The spillover of oxygen species is fundamentally important in redox reactions, but the spillover mechanism has been less understood compared to that of hydrogen spillover. Herein Sn is doped into TiO2 to activate low-temperature (<100 °C) reverse oxygen spillover in Pt/TiO2 catalyst, leading to CO oxidation activity much higher than that of most oxide-supported Pt catalysts. A combination of near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, in situ Raman/Infrared spectroscopies, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the reverse oxygen spillover is triggered by CO adsorption at Pt2+ sites, followed by bond cleavage of Ti-O-Sn moieties nearby and the appearance of Pt4+ species. The O in the catalytically indispensable Pt-O species is energetically more favourable to be originated from Ti-O-Sn. This work clearly depicts the interfacial chemistry of reverse oxygen spillover that is triggered by CO adsorption, and the understanding is helpful for the design of platinum/titania catalysts suitable for reactions of various reactants.

Abstract
We have studied the decomposition of methanol-d4 on thin film Al2O3/NiAl(100) under near-ambient-pressure conditions, with varied surface-probe techniques and calculations based on density-functional theory. Methanol-d4 neither adsorbed nor reacted on Al2O3/NiAl(100) at 400 K under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, whereas they dehydrogenated, largely to methoxy-d3 (CD3O*, * denoting adsorbates) and formaldehyde-d2 (CD2O*), on the surface when the methanol-d4 partial pressure was increased to 10-3 mbar and above. The dehydrogenation was facilitated by hydroxyl (OH* or OD*) from the dissociation of little co-adsorbed water; a small fraction of CD2O* interacted further with OH* (OD*) to form, via intermediate CD2OOH* (CD2OOD*), formic acid (DCOOH* or DCOOD*). A few surface carbonates were also yielded, likely on the defect sites of Al2O3/NiAl(100). The results suggest that alumina not only supports metal clusters but also participates in reactions under realistic catalytic conditions. One may consider accordingly the multiple functions of alumina while designing ideal catalysts.

Abstract
Supported Pt/CeO2 catalysts have been widely used in carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation; however, the high oxygen vacancy formation energy (Evac) in the process leads to the poor performance of these catalysts. Herein, we explored different element (Pr, Cu, or N) doped CeO2 supports using Ce-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as precursors via calcination treatment. The obtained CeO2 supports were used to load Pt nanoparticles. These catalysts were systematically characterized by various techniques, and they showed superior catalytic activity for CO oxidation compared to undoped catalysts which could be attributed to the formation of Ce3+, and high amounts of Oads/(Oads + Olat) and Ptδ+/Pttotal. Moreover, density functional theory calculations with on-site Coulomb interaction correction (DFT+U) were performed to provide atomic-scale insights into the reaction process by the Mars-van Krevelen (M-vK) mechanism, which revealed that the element-doped catalysts could simultaneously reduce the adsorption energies of CO and lower reaction energy barriers in the *OOCO associative pathway.

Abstract
Atom trapping leads to catalysts with atomically dispersed Ru1O5 sites on (100) facets of ceria, as identified by spectroscopy and DFT calculations. This is a new class of ceria-based materials with Ru properties drastically different from the known M/ceria materials. They show excellent activity in catalytic NO oxidation, a critical step that requires use of large loadings of expensive noble metals in diesel aftertreatment systems. Ru1/CeO2 is stable during continuous cycling, ramping, and cooling as well as the presence of moisture. Furthermore, Ru1/CeO2 shows very high NOx storage properties due to formation of stable Ru-NO complexes as well as a high spill-over rate of NOx onto CeO2. Only ∼0.05 wt % of Ru is required for excellent NOx storage. Ru1O5 sites exhibit much higher stability during calcination in air/steam up to 750 °C in contrast to RuO2 nanoparticles. We clarify the location of Ru(II) ions on the ceria surface and experimentally identify the mechanism of NO storage and oxidation using DFT calculations and in situ DRIFTS/mass spectroscopy. Moreover, we show excellent reactivity of Ru1/CeO2 for NO reduction by CO at low temperatures: only 0.1-0.5 wt % of Ru is sufficient to achieve high activity. Modulation-excitation in situ infrared and XPS measurements reveal the individual elementary steps of NO reduction by CO on an atomically dispersed Ru ceria catalyst, highlighting unique properties of Ru1/CeO2 and its propensity to form oxygen vacancies/Ce+3 sites that are critical for NO reduction, even at low Ru loadings. Our study highlights the applicability of novel ceria-based single-atom catalysts to NO and CO abatement.

Abstract
Catalytic oxidation at room temperature is considered as a promising strategy for removal of formaldehyde (HCHO), a widely occurring indoor air pollutant. A series of Bi2MoO6 nanosheets were prepared via one-step hydrothermal synthesis in this study, followed by decoration with Pt nanoparticles (NPs). The catalyst with Bi2MoO6 support prepared at 180 °C exhibited high and stable activity in catalytic oxidation of HCHO at room temperature. The excellent catalytic performance was attributed to its large specific area and pore volume, high level of surface active oxygen species, high content of metallic Pt NPs, and abundant oxygen vacancies. The good synergy and interaction between Pt and Bi2MoO6 promoted electron transfer, and facilitated the adsorption and oxidation of HCHO. The electronic interaction between Pt NPs and Bi2MoO6 accelerated the activation of oxygen species due to weakening of the surface BiO or MoO bonds adjacent to Pt NPs. Infrared spectra indicated that dioxymethylene and formate species were the main intermediates of HCHO oxidation. Density functional theory calculations showed that the dehydrogenation of HCO2, with an energy barrier of 282.1 kJ/mol, was the rate-determining step in catalytic oxidation process. This study provides new insights on the construction of high-efficiency catalysts for indoor formaldehyde removal.

Synergistic Effect of Pt and Dual Ni/Co Cations in Hydrotalcite-Derived Pt/Ni 1.5Co 0.5AlO Catalysts for Promoting Soot Combustion. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:623.

Abstract
In this article, the catalysts of hydrotalcite-derived Ni1.5Co0.5AlO nanosheet-supported highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles (Ptn/Ni1.5Co0.5AlO, where n% is the weigh percentage of the Pt element in the catalysts) were elaborately fabricated by the gas-bubble-assisted membrane--reduction method. The specific porous structure formed by the stack of hydrotalcite-derived Ni1.5Co0.5AlO nanosheets can increase the transfer mass efficiency of the reactants (O2, NO, and soot) and the strong Pt-Ni1.5Co0.5AlO interaction can weaken the Ni/Co-O bond for promoting the mobility of lattice oxygen and the formation of surface-oxygen vacancies. The Ptn/Ni1.5Co0.5AlO catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic activity and stability during diesel soot combustion under the loose contact mode between soot particles and catalysts. Among all the catalysts, the Pt2/Ni1.5Co0.5AlO catalyst showed the highest catalytic activities for soot combustion (T50 = 350 °C, TOF = 6.63 × 10-3 s-1). Based on the characterization results, the catalytic mechanism for soot combustion is proposed: the synergistic effect of Pt and dual Ni/Co cations in the Pt/Ni1.5Co0.5AlO catalysts can promote the vital step of catalyzing NO oxidation to NO2 in the NO-assisted soot oxidation mechanism. This insight into the synergistic effect of Pt and dual Ni/Co cations for soot combustion provides new strategies for reducing the amounts of noble metals in high-efficient catalysts.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic formic acid oxidation (FAO) is the crucial anodic reaction of direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs), but its activity remains to be largely improved in order to be practically viable. The rational development of enhanced catalysts requires thorough consideration of various contributing factors that are possibly integrated in composite systems. Here, we demonstrate that, Pd(100)/SnO2 interfaces, provided being efficiently exploited, can significantly boost FAO activity by a factor of ∼10, compared with pure Pd(100) facets, with the mass activity reaching a record of 14.55 A mgPd-1 at a 40 mV-lower peak potential. Unique Pd/SnO2 nanocomposites with a myriad of Pd(100)/SnO2 interfaces were obtained by a newly developed successive seeded growth strategy, wherein pre-formed SnO2 nanospheres are used as seeds for two-round overgrowth of multitudinous Pd nanocubes. Using electron microscopic, electrochemical, spectroscopic and computational analyses, we found that the Pd(100)/SnO2 interfaces induce lattice contraction and electron loss on Pd nanocubes, which optimize intermediate binding during FAO. Moreover, we showed that the good cubicity of the Pd nanocubes and the presence of SnO2 nearby further promote the activity by facilitating the potential-determining step and the elimination of the poisoning CO intermediate, respectively. As such, the combined high intrinsic activity and number density of Pd(100)/SnO2 interfaces enabled the superior activity of the Pd/SnO2 nanocomposites. The composite material presented here holds promise for application in DFAFCs, but equally importantly, the insights regarding the structure-performance relationship would be beneficial for designing efficient metal/oxide composite catalysts for diverse electro- and photo-catalytic reactions.

Abstract
In single-atom catalysts (SACs), the complexity of the support anchoring sites creates a vast diversity of single-atom species with varied coordination environments. To date, the quantitative distribution of these diverse single-atom species in a given SAC has remained elusive. Recently, CeO2-supported metal SACs have been extensively studied by modulating their local environments via numerous synthetic strategies. However, owing to the absence of a quantitative description, unraveling the site-specific reactivity and regulating their transformation remain challenging. Here, we show that two distinct Pt/CeO2 SACs can be reversibly generated by oxidative and nonoxidative dispersions, which contain varied Pt1On-Ceδ+ single-atom species despite similar Pt charge states and coordination numbers. By means of Raman spectroscopy and computational studies, we semiquantitatively reveal the distribution of diverse Pt1On-Ceδ+ species in each specific SACs. Remarkably, the minority species of Pt1O4-Ce3+-Ov accounting for only 14.2% affords the highest site-specific reactivity for low-temperature CO oxidation among the other abundant counterparts, i.e., Pt1O4-Ce4+ and Pt1O6-Ce4+. The second nearest oxygen vacancy (Ov) not only acts synergistically with the nearby active metal sites to lower the reaction barrier but also facilitates the dynamic transformation from six-coordinated to four-coordinated sites during cyclic nonoxidative and oxidative dispersions. This work elucidates the quantitative distribution and dynamic transformation of varied single-atom species in a given SAC, offering a more intrinsic descriptor and quantitative measure to depict the inhomogeneity of SACs.

Abstract
Enhancing the catalytic activity of Pt-based alloy by a rational structural design is the key to addressing the sluggish kinetics of direct alcohol fuel cells. Herein, a facile one-pot method is reported to synthesize PtCuRu nanoflowers (NFs). The synergetic effect among Pt, Cu, and Ru can lower the d-band center of Pt, regulate the morphology, generate Ru-rich edge, and allow the exposure of more high index facets. The optimized Pt0.68 Cu0.18 Ru0.14 NFs exhibit outstanding electrocatalytic performances and excellent anti-poisoning abilities. The specific activities for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) (7.65 mA cm-2 ) and ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) (7.90 mA cm-2 ) are 6.0 and 7.1 times higher than commercial Pt/C, respectively. The CO stripping experiment and the chronoamperometric (5000 s) demonstrate the superior anti-poisoning property and durability performance. Density functional theory calculations confirm that high metallization degree leads to the decrease of d-band center, the promotion of oxidation of CO, and improvement of the inherent activity and anti-poisoning ability. A Ru-rich edge exposes abundant high index facets to accelerate the reaction kinetics of rate-determining steps by decreasing the energy barrier for forming *HCOOH (MOR) and CC bond breaking (EOR).

Abstract
A goal in the characterization of supported metal catalysts is to achieve particle-by-particle analysis of the charge state strongly correlated with the catalytic activity. Here, we demonstrate the direct identification of the charge state of individual platinum nanoparticles (NPs) supported on titanium dioxide using ultrahigh sensitivity and precision electron holography. Sophisticated phase-shift analysis for the part of the NPs protruding into the vacuum visualized slight potential changes around individual platinum NPs. The analysis revealed the number (only one to six electrons) and sense (positive or negative) of the charge per platinum NP. The underlying mechanism of platinum charging is explained by the work function differences between platinum and titanium dioxide (depending on the orientation relationship and lattice distortion) and by first-principles calculations in terms of the charge transfer processes.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have gained enormous interest in improving the performance of energy harvest systems, biomedical devices, and high-strength composites. Many studies were performed fabricating more elaborate and heterogeneous nanostructures then the structures were characterized using TEM tomographic images, upgrading the fabrication technique. Despite the effort, intricate fabrication process, agglomeration characteristic, and non-uniform output were still limited to presenting the 3D panoramic views straightforwardly. Here we suggested in situ synthesis method to prepare complex and hierarchically-assembled nanostructures that consisted of ZnS nanowire core and nanoparticles under Ag2S catalyst. We demonstrated that the vaporized Zn and S were solidified in different shapes of nanostructures with the temperatures solely. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of synthesizing heterogeneous nanostructures, consisting of a nanowire from the vapor-liquid-solid and then nanoparticles from the vapor-solid grown mechanism by in situ temperature control. The obtained hierarchically-assembled ZnS nanostructures were characterized by various TEM technologies, verifying the crystal growth mechanism. Lastly, electron tomography and 3D printing enabled the nanoscale structures to visualize with centimeter scales. The 3D printing from randomly fabricated nanomaterials is rarely performed to date. The collaborating work could offer a better opportunity to fabricate advanced and sophisticated nanostructures.

Abstract
Understanding how reaction conditions affect metal-support interactions in catalytic materials is one of the most challenging tasks in heterogeneous catalysis research. Metal nanoparticles and their supports often undergo changes in structure and oxidation state when exposed to reactants, hindering a straightforward understanding of the structure-activity relations using only ex situ or ultrahigh vacuum techniques. Overcoming these limitations, we explored the metal-support interaction between gold nanoparticles and ceria supports in ultrahigh vacuum and after exposure to CO. A combination of in situ methods (on powder and model Au/CeO2 samples) and theoretical calculations was applied to investigate the gold/ceria interface and its reactivity toward CO exposure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements rationalized by first-principles calculations reveal a distinctly inhomogeneous charge distribution, with Au+ atoms in contact with the ceria substrate and neutral Au0 atoms at the surface of the Au nanoparticles. Exposure to CO partially reduces the ceria substrate, leading to electron transfer to the supported Au nanoparticles. Transferred electrons can delocalize among the neutral Au atoms of the particle or contribute to forming inert Auδ- atoms near oxygen vacancies at the ceria surface. This charge redistribution is consistent with the evolution of the vibrational frequencies of CO adsorbed on Au particles obtained using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy.

Abstract
Research into the incorporation of cerium into a diverse range of catalyst systems for a wide spectrum of process chemistries has expanded rapidly. This has been evidenced since about 1980 in the increasing number of both scientific research journals and patent publications that address the application of cerium as a component of a multi-metal oxide system and as a support material for metal catalysts. This review chronicles both the applied and fundamental research into cerium-containing oxide catalysts where cerium’s redox activity confers enhanced and new catalytic functionality. Application areas of cerium-containing catalysts include selective oxidation, combustion, NOx remediation, and the production of sustainable chemicals and materials via bio-based feedstocks, among others. The newfound interest in cerium-containing catalysts stems from the benefits achieved by cerium’s inclusion, which include selectivity, activity, and stability. These benefits arise because of cerium’s unique combination of chemical and thermal stability, its redox active properties, its ability to stabilize defect structures in multicomponent oxides, and its propensity to stabilize catalytically optimal oxidation states of other multivalent elements. This review surveys the origins and some of the current directions in the research and application of cerium oxide-based catalysts.
