Abstract
Photocatalysis has the advantages of practical, sustainable and environmental protection, so it plays a significant role in energy transformation and environmental utilization. CeO2 has attracted widespread attention for its unique 4 f electrons, rich defect structures, high oxygen storage capacity and great chemical stability. In this paper, we review the structure of CeO2 and the common methods for the preparation of CeO2-based composites in the first part. In particular, we highlight the co-precipitation method, template method, and sol-gel method methods. Then, in the second part, we introduce the application of CeO2-based composites in photocatalysis, including photocatalytic CO2 reduction, hydrogen production, degradation, selective organic reaction, and photocatalytic nitrogen fixation. In addition, we discuss several modification techniques to improve the photocatalytic performance of CeO2-based composites, such as elemental doping, defect engineering, constructing heterojunction and morphology regulation. Finally, the challenges faced by CeO2-based composites are analyzed and their development prospects are prospected. This review provides a systematic summary of the recent advance of CeO2-based composites in the field of photocatalysis, which can provide useful references for the rational design of efficient CeO2-based composite photocatalysts for sustainable development.

Abstract
Catalyst sintering caused by high temperature operating conditions during ethanol steam reforming (ESR) is a common issue for traditional catalysts with low Tammann temperature metals. In recent years, high entropy oxides have been popular in thermal catalysis due to their special thermodynamics and kinetics characteristics, which is expected to be a suitable approach for enhancing catalyst stability. This paper first reports the application of HEO in ESR and the characterization. The results exhibited a nano structure (CoCrFeNiAl)3O4 HEO with a spinel-phase and was successfully synthesized by a polyol hydrothermal precipitation-calcination method. An abundance of oxygen vacancies were formed, and were further enriched in a hydrogen atmosphere as the M-O bond opened. Interestingly, its self-reorganization featured the rendered the metals spilling out of the HEO bulk phase as active species for hydrogen production during ESR, whereas the isolated metal cation randomly dissolved into the parent metal oxide cell again after the reaction instead of agglomerating over the catalyst surface. This gave the (CoCrFeNiAl)3O4 a large number of dispersed active sites, as well as a high thermal stability. In addition, 81% of the hydrogen yield as well as 85% of H2 selectivity were achieved at 600 °C. This research might offer possibilities for the development of thermal catalytic hydrogen production under high temperature conditions such as steam reforming.

Abstract
A citric acid ligand assisted self-assembly method is used for the synthesis of ternary mesoporous cerium lanthanum solid solution doped with metal elements (Co, Zr, Mg). Their textural property was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and TPD techniques, and so on. The results of catalytic testing for synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CH3OH and CO2 indicated that the DMC yield reached 316 mmol/g on Ce-La-Co solid solution when the reaction temperature was 413 K and the reaction pressure was 8.0 MPa. It was found that Co had synergistic effect with La and Ce, doping of Co on the mesoporous Ce-La solid solution was helpful to increase the surface area of the catalyst, promote CO2 adsorption and activation, and improve the redox performance of solid solution catalyst. The conversion of Co2+ to Co3+ resulted in the continuous redox cycle between Ce4+ and Ce3+, and the oxygen vacancy content of the catalyst was increased. Studies have shown that the catalytic performance of Ce-La-Co solid solution is positively correlated with oxygen vacancy content. On this basis, the reaction mechanism of DMC synthesis from CO2 and CH3OH on the catalyst was speculated.

Abstract
In heterogeneous catalysis, the determination of active phases has been a long-standing challenge, as materials' properties change under operational conditions (i.e. temperature (T) and pressure (p) in an atmosphere of reactive molecules). As a first step towards materials design for methane activation, we study the T and p dependence of the composition, structure, and stability of metal oxide clusters in a reactive atmosphere at thermodynamic equilibrium using a prototypical model catalyst having wide practical applications: free transition metal (Ni) clusters in a combined oxygen and methane atmosphere. A robust methodological approach is employed, where the starting point is systematic scanning of the potential energy surface (PES) to obtain the global minimum structures using a massively parallel cascade genetic algorithm (cGA) at the hybrid density functional level. The low energy clusters are further analyzed to estimate their thermodynamic stability at realistic T, p O2 and p CH4 using ab initio atomistic thermodynamics (aiAT). To incorporate the anharmonicity in the vibrational free energy contribution to the configurational entropy, we evaluate the excess free energy of the clusters numerically by a thermodynamic integration method with ab initio molecular dynamics (aiMD) simulation inputs. By analyzing a large dataset, we show that the conventional harmonic approximation miserably fails for this class of materials, and capturing the anharmonic effects on the vibration free energy contribution is indispensable. The latter has a significant impact on detecting the activation of the C-H bond, while the harmonic infrared spectrum fails to capture this, due to the wrong prediction of the vibrational modes.

Abstract
ConspectusThe last two decades have witnessed the successful development of noble-metal nanocrystals with well-controlled properties for a variety of applications in catalysis, plasmonics, electronics, and biomedicine. Most of these nanocrystals are kinetically controlled products greatly deviated from the equilibrium state defined by thermodynamics. When subjected to elevated temperatures, their arrangements of atoms are expected to undergo various physical transformations, inducing changes to the shape, morphology (hollow vs solid), spatial distribution of elements (segregated vs alloyed/intermetallic), internal structure (twinned vs single-crystal), and crystal phase. In order to optimize the performance of these nanocrystals in various applications, there is a pressing need to understand and improve their thermal stability.By integrating in situ heating with transmission electron microscopy or X-ray diffraction, we have investigated the physical transformations of various types of noble-metal nanocrystals in real time. We have also explored the atomistic detail responsible for a physical transformation using first-principles calculations, providing insightful guidance for the development of noble-metal nanocrystals with augmented thermal stability. Specifically, solid nanocrystals were observed to transform into pseudospherical particles favored by thermodynamics by reducing the surface area while eliminating the facets high in surface energy. For nanocrystals of relatively large in size, a single-crystal lattice was more favorable than a twinned structure. When switching to core-shell nanocrystals, the elevation in temperature caused changes to the elemental distribution in addition to shape transformation. The compositional stability of a core-shell nanocrystal was found to be strongly dependent on the shape and thus the type of facet expressed on the surface. For hollow nanocrystals such as nanocages and nanoframes, their thermal stabilities were typically inferior to the solid counterparts, albeit their unique structure and large specific surface area are highly desired in applications such as catalysis. When a metastable crystal structure was involved, phase transition was also observed at a temperature close to that responsible for shape or compositional change. We hope the principles, methodologies, and mechanistic insights presented in this Account will help the readers achieve a good understanding of the physical transformations that are expected to take place in noble-metal nanocrystals when they are subjected to thermal activation. Such an understanding may eventually lead to the development of effective methods for retarding or even preventing some of the transformations.

Abstract
Shape-engineered nanocrystals (SENs) promise a better selectivity and a higher activity in catalytic reactions than the corresponding non-shape-engineered ones because of their larger specific surface areas and desirable crystal facets. However, often, it is challenging to apply SENs in practical catalytic applications at high reaction temperatures, where SENs deforms into more stable, less active nanoparticles. In this paper, we show that atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Al2O3 at 200 °C can controllably dope Al cations into the shape-engineered CeO2 nanorods (NRs) to not only increase their shape transition temperature from 400 °C to beyond 700 °C but also greatly increase their specific reversible oxygen storage capacity (srOSC). The substituted Al3+ ions impede the surface diffusion of Ce ions and therefore improve the thermal stability of CeO2 NRs. These Al3+ dopants form -Al-O-Ce-O- clusters, which are new Ce species and can be reversibly reduced and oxidized at 500-700 °C. This low-temperature chemical doping method decouples the synthesis process of SENs from the doping process and maintains the shape of the SENs during the activation of dopants. This concept could be adopted to enable the applications of other SENs in challenging high-temperature environments.

Abstract
The design of ultrafine NiMoOx nanoparticles (NPs) confined in hierarchically porous carbon remains a great challenge due to its high calcination temperature. In addition, the composition of active sites of NiMoOx NPs for the hydrogenation reaction is still ambiguous. Herein, we report a general approach for the synthesis of ultrafine NiMoOx NPs confined in mesoporous carbon with different morphologies and compositions using the replication method with SBA-15 as a hard template. The pore structure of mesoporous carbon and the Ni/Mo composition valence-state were discovered to be the main factors in the reduction of nitroarenes. The NiMoOx/mesoporous carbon-platelet (NiMoOx/MC-PL) with short mesochannels (∼350 nm) and high surface area (∼995 m2 g−1) possessed excellent catalytic activity towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol, whereas NiMoOx/mesoporous carbon-hexagonal-prism (NiMoOx/MC-HP), NiMoOx/mesoporous carbon-long-rod (NiMoOx/MC-LR), and NiMoOx/mesoporous carbon-spherical (NiMoOx/MC-SP) with long mesochannels and relatively less surface area exhibited poor catalytic performance. The bifunctional mechanism or electronic synergistic effects of Ni and Mo species enhanced their catalytic performance. A good balance between MoOx and metallic Ni (NiMoOx/MC-PL-450) was found to be suitable for the reduction of 4-NP. Ultrafine NiMoOx NPs were confined in the framework of mesoporous carbon by using the replication method for the reduction of nitroarenes.![]()
