In the present work, Zrdoped CeOnanorods exhibited the highest catalytic performance(yield of styrene oxide and TOF value)followed by nanoparticles and nanocubes. For the Zr-doped CeOnanorods, the apparent activation energy is 56.3 k J/mol, which is much lower than the values of catalysts supported on nanoparticles and nanocubes(73.3 and 93.4 k J/mol). The high resolution transmission electron microscopy results indicated that(100) and(110) crystal planes are predominantly exposed for Zr-doped CeOnanorods while(100)and(111) for nanocubes,(111) for nanoparticles. The remarkably increased catalytic activity of the Zrdoped CeOnanorods is mainly attributed to the higher percentage of Cespecies and more oxygen vacancies, which are associated with their exposed(100) and(110) crystal planes. Furthermore, recycling studies proved that the heterogeneous Zr-doped CeOnanorods did not lose its initial high catalytic activity after five successive recycles.展开更多

Co-doping these two elements results in the local lattice distortion and volume expansion of CeO2. Compared with the energy hand structure of pure CeO2, some local energy levels appear in the forbidden band, which may facilitate the light absorption. Moreover, the enhanced photo-catalytic properties of CeO2 were explained through the absorption spectra and the selection rule of the band-to-band transitions.展开更多

The investigated solids were characterized by TGA, DTA, XRD and HRTEM. The results revealed that ceria much enhanced the formation of nanosized CoFe2O4 (10 - 30 nm). The stimulation effect of ceria towards cobalt ferrite formation was evidenced from analysis of DTA and XRD investigations. In fact, the area of endothermic peak located at 575℃- 680℃ relative to solid-solid interaction between ferric and cobaltic oxide increased by increasing the dopant concentration. This treatment decreased the activation energy of formation of the produced ferrite from 33 - 9.2 kJ/mol upon doping with 3 mol% CeO2. HRTEM analysis revealed the formation of homogenous nanosized CoFe2O4. The formation effect of ceria dopant towards the formation of CoFe2O4 has been tentatively attributed to an effective increase in the mobility of the reacting cations.展开更多

The results show that either CuO or CeO 2 ac tivity is quite low for CO oxidation. However, when CuO and CeO 2 are mixed, the oxidative activity of the catalyst increases significantly, probably owing to the valency status of copper species (Cu 2+ and Cu+) on the CeO 2 surfa ce, the dispersion and reducibility. XPS surface analysis shows that CuO loading is very important in forming of either Cu 2+ or Cu+. Rietveld analysis s hows that some CuO, which has smaller ion radius than Ce 4+, enters the Ce O 2 lattice after CuO and CeO 2 are mixed. When the CuO loading reaches 5.0%, the size of CuO crystals is a minimum (6.1 nm) and the micro-strain value i s a maximum (2.86×10 -3), resulting in high surface energy and the best ac tivity for CO oxidation.展开更多

摘要The Sr2 CeO4:Ln3+(Ln=Eu,Dy)fine phosphor particles were prepared by a facile wet chemical approach,in which the consecutive hydrothermal-combustion reaction was performed.The doping of Ln3+into Sr2 CeO4 has little influence on the structure of host,and the as-prepared samples display wellcrystallized spherical or elliptical shape with an average particle size at about 100-200 nm.For Eu3+ions-doped Sr2 CeO4,with the increase of Eu3+-doping concentration,the blue light emission band with the maximum at 468 nm originating from a Ce4+→O2-charge transfer of the host decreases obviously and the characteristic red light emission of Eu3+(5 D0→7 F2 transition at 618 nm)is enhanced gradually.Simultaneously,the fluorescent lifetime of the broadband emission of Sr2 CeO4 decreases with the doping of Eu3+,indicating an efficient energy transfer from the host to the doping Eu3+ions.The ene rgy transfer efficiency from the host to Eu3+was investigated in detail,and the emitting color of Sr2 CeO4:Eu3+can be easily tuned from blue to red by varying the doping concentration of Eu3+ions.Moreover,the luminescence of Dy3+-doped Sr2 CeO4 was also studied.Similar energy transfer pheno menon can be observed,and the incorporation of Dy3+into Sr2 CeO4 host leads to the characteristic emission of 4 F9/2→6 H15/2(488 nm,blue light)and 4 F9/2→6 H13/2(574 nm,yellow light)of Dy3+.The Sr2 CeO4:Ln3+fine particles with tunable luminescence are quite beneficial for its potential applications in the optoelectronic fields.

摘要A novel V-doped CeO2-supported alkali-activated-steel-slag-based catalyst(V-CeO2/AC)for photocatalytic decomposition of water to hydrogen was prepared via co-impregnation method.The chemical composition,mineral phase,morphology,and optical performances of the synthesized catalyst samples were characterized by XRF,XRD,SEM,UV-Vis DRS,and so on.XRD and SEM results show that calcium silicate hydrate(Ca1.5SiO3.5·xH2O)mineral phase is formed in the carrier sample,and the prepared catalyst specimens are made up of approximately 50 nm particles.After 6 hours of xenon lamp irradiation,the catalyst supported on V-doped 8wt%CeO2 exhibits the highest photocatalytic hydrogen production activity(8292μmol/g),which is attributed to the interaction between the V-doped CeO2 active components and FeO existed in catalyst carrier.A possible photocatalytic decomposition of water for hydrogen production mechanism over the V-8CeO2/AC catalyst was proposed.

摘要Advanced cathode materials are urgently required for the sustainable development of high-energydensity secondary batteries.As a promising candidate,the electrochemical performance of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2(LNCM)should be further optimized to reach the market demand due to its rapid decay issue.Herein,a series of trace Yb3+-doping LNCM-Yb(x)(x=1 mol%-10 mol%)samples was prepared through a typical hydrothermal method.X-ray diffraction(XRD)patterns confirm that the crystal structure of LNCM-Yb(x)remains basically identical with the pristine LiNiO2-phased LNCM,but a well-distributed associated LiYbO2phase is also indexed.Relying on the introduced Yb3+and generated LiYbO2,it is found that the Li+diffusion coefficient and conductivity are co-modulated,thus the rate and cycling performances are obviously enhanced,where LNCM-Yb3displays an enhanced rate capacity of 191 mAh/g at the first 0.1C and 181 mAh/g at the finial 0.1C,delivering the capacity retention of 94.76%after 60 cycles.Also,LNCM-Yb3conveys a nice capacity retention of 68.02%after 300 cycles at 1C,compared with LNCM(6.47%after 200 cycles).The formation mechanism and atomic substitution relationship are then obtained by density functional theory calculations.Therefore,it is expected to provide a useful guideline to promote the development of LNCM-based cathode towards secondary batteries.

摘要Na-doped CeO2(NDC)electrolytes with 0.05,0.10,0.15,and 0.20 molar ratios of Na ions(0.05NDC,0.1NDC,0.15NDC,and 0.2NDC)were synthesized and systematically evaluated for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)applications.Density function-al theory(DFT)calculations reveal that Na doping lowers the oxygen-vacancy formation energy.Structural analysis confirms progressive lattice expansion in NDCs and a maximum oxygen-vacancy concentration in 0.15NDC,while incomplete incorporation of Na in 0.2NDC yields residual Na2CO3.Conductivity studies demonstrate negligible electronic conductivity and a peak ionic conductivity in 0.15NDC,suggesting that moderate Na doping enhances ionic transport,whereas excessive dopant is detrimental.Two 0.15NDC-based SOFCs are fabricated by ceramic and dry-pressing methods,and their maximum power densities at 550°C are 208 and 778 mW·cm−2,respectively,indicating the rapid ionic transport of the 0.15NDC electrolyte.These results demonstrate that Na doping is an effective route for develop-ing advanced low-temperature SOFC electrolytes.

摘要The N and C doping effects on the crystal structures, electronic and optical properties of fluorite structure CeO2 have been investigated using the first-principles calculation. Co-doping these two elements results in the local lattice distortion and volume expansion of CeO2. Compared with the energy hand structure of pure CeO2, some local energy levels appear in the forbidden band, which may facilitate the light absorption. Moreover, the enhanced photo-catalytic properties of CeO2 were explained through the absorption spectra and the selection rule of the band-to-band transitions.
摘要The role of ceria doping (0.75 - 3 mol%) on solid-solid interactions between ferric and cobaltic oxides was investigated. The investigated solids were characterized by TGA, DTA, XRD and HRTEM. The results revealed that ceria much enhanced the formation of nanosized CoFe2O4 (10 - 30 nm). The stimulation effect of ceria towards cobalt ferrite formation was evidenced from analysis of DTA and XRD investigations. In fact, the area of endothermic peak located at 575℃- 680℃ relative to solid-solid interaction between ferric and cobaltic oxide increased by increasing the dopant concentration. This treatment decreased the activation energy of formation of the produced ferrite from 33 - 9.2 kJ/mol upon doping with 3 mol% CeO2. HRTEM analysis revealed the formation of homogenous nanosized CoFe2O4. The formation effect of ceria dopant towards the formation of CoFe2O4 has been tentatively attributed to an effective increase in the mobility of the reacting cations.

摘要The deposition of NH4 HSO4 and the poisoning effect of SO2 on SCR catalyst are the main obstacles that restrict the industrial application of CeO2-doped SCR catalysts.In this work,deposited NH4 HSO4 decomposition behavior and SO2 poisoning over V2 O5-MoO3/TiO2 catalysts modified with CeO2 and SiO2 were investigated.By the means of characterization analysis,it was found that the addition of SiO2 into VMo/Ti-Ce had an impact on the interaction existed between catalyst surface atoms and NH4 HSO4.Temperatureprogrammed methods and in situ diffused reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy(DRIFTS)experiments indicated that the doping of SiO2 promoted the decomposition of deposited NH4 HSO4 on VMo/Ti-Ce catalyst surface by reducing the thermal stability of NH4 HSO4 and enhancing the NH4 HSO4 reactivity with NO in low temperature.And this improvement may be the reason for the better catalytic activity than VMo/Ti-Ce in the case of NH4 HSO4 deposition.Accompanied with cerium sulfate species generated over catalyst surface,the conversion of SO2 to SO3 was inhibited in SiCe mixed catalyst.The addition of SiO2 could promote the decomposition of cerium sulfate,which may be a potential strategy to enhance the resistance of SO2 poisoning over CeO2-modifed catalysts.
摘要The oxidative properties and characterization of CuO, CeO 2 and CuO/CeO 2 cata lysts were examined by means of a CO micro-reactor GC system, TPR, XPS and X-r ay diffraction Rietveld methods. The results show that either CuO or CeO 2 ac tivity is quite low for CO oxidation. However, when CuO and CeO 2 are mixed, the oxidative activity of the catalyst increases significantly, probably owing to the valency status of copper species (Cu 2+ and Cu+) on the CeO 2 surfa ce, the dispersion and reducibility. XPS surface analysis shows that CuO loading is very important in forming of either Cu 2+ or Cu+. Rietveld analysis s hows that some CuO, which has smaller ion radius than Ce 4+, enters the Ce O 2 lattice after CuO and CeO 2 are mixed. When the CuO loading reaches 5.0%, the size of CuO crystals is a minimum (6.1 nm) and the micro-strain value i s a maximum (2.86×10 -3), resulting in high surface energy and the best ac tivity for CO oxidation.

摘要Cu^2+-doped nanostructured TiO2-coated SiO2(TiO2/SiO2)particles were prepared by the layer-by-layer assembly technique and their photocatalytic property was studied.TiO2 colloids were synthesized by the sol-gel method using TiOSO4 as a precursor.The experimental results showed that TiO2 nanopowders on the surface of SiO2 particles were well distributed and compact.The amount of TiO2 increased with the increase in coating layers.The shell structure appeared to be composed of anatase titania nanocrystals at 550℃.The 2-layer coated TiO2 particles on the surface showed a higher degradation rate compared with all the different-layer samples.The photocatalytic activity of Cu^2+-doped TiO2/SiO2 was higher than that ofundoped TiO2/SiO2.The optimum dopant content was about 0.10wt%.
摘要The selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of NOx using MnOx and CeO2 supported on viscose-based active carbon fibers(ACF) at 120 ℃~270 ℃ relatively lower than the temperature when using V2O5/TiO2-anatase catalyst was studied.As a result,CeO2/ACF shows a better catalysis than MNOx/ACF,which is not affected by the reaction temperature. NO conversion of 85% is reached with the 10%-CeO2/ACF catalyst at the whole temperature window.Furthermore,a series of MnOx-CeO2/ACF composite catalysts were studied.The results show that the loading method of catalyst affects its activity.
