Carbon felt was used as an anode for its high specific surface area and high oxygen evolution overpotential. Pt coated Ti plates were used as cathode and anode current feeder. The oxidation of 1 mol· L^-1 Ce（ Ⅲ ） solution in 2 mol· L^- 1 HNO3 was proceeding with a high current efficiency （92%） until about 80% of Ce（ Ⅲ ） was oxidized. Then, oxygen evolution, accompanied by terminal voltage jump, took place, lowering current efficiency. Ce（ Ⅲ ） was oxidized up to 90% with current efficiency of 62%. In this mode, strong carbon felt anode oxidation was observed. The wear out of carbon felt was 46% in six consequent runs （6 h of operation）. After each run, carbon felt surface had to be renewed with slightly alkaline solution to remove carbon oxidation products and ensure regular operational conditions. When anode surface was blocked, oxygen evolution took place from the beginning of electrolysis due to higher actual current density. The wear out of carbon felt anode could be minimized by means of oxygen evolution prevention. In the case when electrolysis had been stopped before oxygen evolution started （at Ce（ Ⅳ ） conversion of about 80% ）, the wear out of anode was less than 2% during 6 consequent runs （4 h of operation）.展开更多

The catalytic performance for methanol total oxidation was examined to study the effects of Ce adding position.CeO2-Al2 O3-TiO2（CAT） catalysts that Ce is directly introduced into support show higher reactivity and CO2 selectivity than CeO2/Al2 O3-TiO2（Ce/AT） samples in which Ce is loaded by impregnation method.The characterization results reveal that the Ce doping position does not cause obvious otherness of basic crystalline phase and mesoporous structure of support. However, the Ce doping position affects the pore shapes of support and then influences the pore diameter. CAT catalysts possess more abundant adsorbed oxygen and more Ti3＋ can transform the more gaseous oxygen into the active oxygen species on the catalyst surface, which is beneficial to the reaction. The Al-O-Ti bridges in CAT facilitate the cooperation of Al and Ti species, which further speeds up the reaction rate.展开更多

The catalysts were characterized by means of XRD and H2-TPR. The reactions between methane and lattice oxygen from the complex oxides were investigated. The characteristic results revealed that the combination of Ce and Fe oxide in the catalysts could lower the temperature necessary to reduce the cerium oxide. The catalytic activity for selective CH4 oxidation was strongly influenced by dropped Fe species. Adding the appropriate amount of Fe2O3 to CeO2 could promote the action between CH4 and CeO2. Dispersed Fe2O3 first returned to the original state and would then virtually form the Fe species on the catalyst, which could be considered as the active site for selective CH4 oxidation. The appearance of carbon formation was significant and the oxidation of carbon appeared to be the rate-determining step; the amounts of surface reducible oxygen species in CeO2 were also relevant to the activity. Among all the catalysts, Ce0.6Fe0.402 exhibited the best activity, which converted 94.52% of CH4 at 900 ℃.展开更多

The effects of Cu/Ce elements co-doping on the crystal structure, catalytic oxidation and adsorption behaviors of magnetic microspheres were researched systematically. The results showed that with the aid of Cu/Ce elements, the grain size reduced, lattice defects increased, and the oxygen vacancies and surface hydroxyl groups were improved. Therefore, Cu/Ce elements endowed magnetic Fe3 O4@Cu/Ce microspheres with excellent As(III) removal performance, whose maximum adsorption capacity reached 139.19 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism mainly involved catalytic oxidant co-adsorption. This research developed a feasible strategy for the preparation of high efficiency magnetic adsorbent to enhance the removal of As(Ⅲ).展开更多
A series of Fe2O3/Al2O3, Fe2O3/CeO2, Ce0.7Zr0.3O2, and Fe2O3/Ce1-xZrxO2（x = 0.1–0.4） oxides was prepared and their physicochemical features were investigated by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, transmission electron micro...A series of Fe2O3/Al2O3, Fe2O3/CeO2, Ce0.7Zr0.3O2, and Fe2O3/Ce1-xZrxO2（x = 0.1–0.4） oxides was prepared and their physicochemical features were investigated by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, transmission electron microscope（TEM）, and H2-temperature-programmed reduction（H2-TPR） techniques. The gas–solid reactions between these oxides and methane for syngas generation as well as the catalytic performance for selective oxidation of carbon deposition in O2-enriched atmosphere were investigated in detail. The results show that the samples with the presence of Fe2O3show much higher activity for methane oxidation compared with the Ce0.7Zr0.3O2solid solution,while the CeO2-contained samples represent higher CO selectively in methane oxidation than the Fe2O3/Al2O3sample. This suggests that the iron species should be the active sites for methane activation, and the cerium oxides provide the oxygen source for the selective oxidation of the activated methane to syngas during the reaction between methane and Fe2O3/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2. For the oxidation process of the carbon deposition, the CeO2-containing samples show much higher CO selectivity than the Fe2O3/Al2O3sample, which indicates that the cerium species should play a very important role in catalyzing the carbon selective oxidation to CO. The presence of the Ce–Zr–O solid solution could induce the growth direction of the carbonfilament, resulting in a loose contact between the carbon filament and the catalyst. This results in abundant exposed active sites for catalyzing carbon oxidation, strongly improving the oxidation rate of the carbon deposition over this sample. In addition, the Fe2O3/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2also represents much higher selectivity（ca. 97 %） for the conversion of carbon to CO than the Fe2O3/CeO2sample, which can be attributed to the higher concentration of reduced cerium sites on this sample. The increase of the Zr content in the Fe2O3/Ce1-xZrxO2samples could improve the reactivity of the materials for methane oxidation, but it also reduces the selectivity for CO formation.展开更多

Ce can refine Al2O3 grains produced in the course of oxidation of polycrystalline Ni3Al, accelerate the diffusion of oxygen along Al2O3 grain boundaries,and promote the growth of Al2O3 grains. As a result, the quantity of less-protective NiO decreases. The oxidation resistance of 0.011% Ce-doped alloy is the best of all Ce-doped Ni3Al alloys. Because B is benefitial to the formation of Al2O3 and Ce can refine Al2O3 grains, the oxidation resistance of the alloy containing both B and Ce is the best.展开更多

In methane temperature programmed reduction test, Ce-Fe oxide behaved complete oxidation at the lower temperature and selective oxidation at higher temperatures. Ce-Fe mixed oxides with the Fe content in the range of 0.1~）.5 was able to produce syngas with high selectivity in high-temperature range （800-900 ~C）, and a higher Fe amount over 0.5 seemed to depress the CO formation. In isothermal reaction, complete oxidation oc- curred at beginning following with selective oxidation later. Ce~_xFexO2~ oxygen carriers （x5_0.5） were proved to be suitable for the selective oxidation of methane. Ce-Fe mixed oxides had the well-pleasing reducibility with high oxygen releasing rate and CO selec- tivity due to the interaction between Ce and Fe species. Strong chemical interaction of Ce-Fe mixed oxides originated from both Fe＊ activated CeO2 and Ce3＋ activated iron oxides （FeOm）, and those chemical interaction greatly enhanced the oxygen mobility and selectivity.展开更多

We present here detailed f（O2） and H2O modelling for average compositions of both Emeishan high-Ti and low-Ti ferrobasalts in order to constrain the effects on crystallisation sequences for Emeishan ultra-mafic -mafic layered intrusions.Modelling is consistent with numerous experimental studies on ferro-basaltic magmas from other localities（e.g.Skaergaard intrusion）.Modelling is compared with the geology of the Panzhihua intrusion in order to constrain the crystallisation of the gabbroic rocks and the Fe-Ti oxides ore layers.We suggest that the gabbroic rocks at the Panzhihua intrusion can be best explained by crystallisation from a parent magma similar to that of the high-Ti Emeishan basalt at moderate H2O contents（0.5-1 wt.%） but at the lower end of TiO2 content for typical high-Ti basalts（2.5 wt.%TiO2）. Distinct silicate disequilibrium textures in the Fe-Ti oxide ore layers suggest that an influx of H2O may be responsible for changing the crystallisation path.An increase in H2O during crystallisation of gabbroic rocks will result in the depression of silicate liquidus temperatures and resultant disequilibrium with the liquid.Continued cooling of the magma with high H2O then results in precipitation of Mt-Uv alone. The H2O content of parent magmas for mafic layered intrusions associated with the ELIP is an important variable.H2O alters the crystallisation sequence of the basaltic magmas so that at high H2O and f（O2） Mt -Uv crystallises earlier than plagioclase and clinopyroxene.Furthermore,the addition of H2O to an anhydrous magma can explain silicate disequilibrium texture observed in the Fe-Ti oxide ore layers.展开更多

文摘Implant-related infections and tissue inflammation are the main factors for peri-implantitis.Lack of antibacterial activity and poor soft tissue sealing property increase the occurrence probability of peri-implantitis.To prevent and treat peri-implantitis,cerium-doped defective titanium oxide coatings are prepared on medical titanium surfaces by plasma electrolytic oxidation and thermal reduction treatment.In the darkness,Ce-doped defective titanium oxide coatings with micro-porous structure surface can inhibit the bacteria adhesion to some extent with antibacterial rates of 38.0%against S.aureus and 65.0%against E.coli.Under near infrared(NIR)irradiation,Ce-doped defective titanium oxide coatings show good photothermal antibacterial activity with antibacterial rates of 99.9%against S.aureus and 99.9%against E.coli.Moreover,with the increasing content of Ce-doping,the coatings exhibit higher capacity to scavenge hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)and 2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)radical cation(ABTS^(·+)).The coatings with enhanced antioxidant effect can protect human gingival fibroblasts from oxidative stress damage by eliminating reactive oxygen species and promoting initial cell adhesion.Besides,Ce-doped coatings can regulate the immune microenvironment by up-regulating the expression of anti-inflammatory genes and down-regulating the pro-inflammatory genes.In vivo animal experiments further confirm the good antibacterial activity of Ce-doped defective titanium oxide coatings under NIR irradiation and good biosafety.This work provides a novel surface modification strategy for implant abutment,which shows good application prospects for preventing and treating peri-implantitis.

文摘The catalytic diesel particulate filter(CDPF)is the most widely used after-treatment device for controlling diesel engine soot emissions.The development of cost-effective catalysts is crucial for diesel engines to comply with future ultra-low emission regulations.This paper studies a new type of Ce/La modified Cs-V non-noble metal CDPF catalyst.Three test catalysts(Cs-V,Cs-V-5%Ce,and Cs-V-5%La)were formulated to explore the physical properties,activity,and sulfur resistance through XRD,SEM,XPS,and TPO tests.And TGA tests with different catalyst-to-soot mass ratios were designed to analyze the reaction kinetics.The results show that the soot oxidation process is divided into three stages:slow oxidation,rapid oxidation,and soot burnout.SEM and XRD results show that,compared with Ce doping,La-doped catalysts have less damage to the microstructure of the first active component,Cs_(2)V_(4)O_(11).XPS results show that the introduction of Ce and La is beneficial to the formation of oxygen vacancies and lattice distortion,increasing the proportion of active oxygen species,thereby improving the soot oxidation activity,among which La-doped active oxygen species have the highest proportion(94%).And the Cs-V-5%La catalyst has the best effect on improving the soot conversion of the three stages.The fresh state has the best low-temperature activity index,the lowest characteristic temperature(T_(50) of 374℃)and activation energy(115.01 kJ/mol),and excellent sulfur resistance.The soot conversion and oxidation speed of the three stages decreases,duration lengthens,and activation energy increases by more than 100 kJ/mol as catalyst-to-soot mass ratios decrease.

文摘Reducing the cost of RuO_(2)/TiO_(2)catalysts is still one of the urgent challenges in catalytic HCl oxidation.In the present work,a Ce-doped TiO_(2)supported RuO_(2)catalyst with a low Ru loading was developed,showing a high activity in the catalytic oxidation of HCl to Cl_(2).The results on some extensive characterizations of both Ce-doped TiO_(2)carriers and their supported RuO_(2)catalysts show that the doping of Ce into TiO_(2)can effectively change the lattice parameters of TiO_(2)to improve the dispersion of the active RuO_(2)species on the carrier,which facilitates the production of surface Ru species to expose more active sites for boosting the catalytic performance even under some harsh reaction conditions.This work provides some scientific basis and technical support for chlorine recycling.

文摘Anaerobic digestion(AD),as an eco-friendly biological process,shows potential for the decomposition of leachate produced by waste incineration power plants.In this study,the effects of Fe oxides nano-modified pumice(FNP)were investigated on the fresh leachate AD process.Firstly,a simple hydrothermal method was used to prepare FNP,then introduced into the UASB reactor to evaluate its AD efficiency.Results showed that the inclusion of FNP could shorten the lag phase by 10 days compared to the control group.Furthermore,cumulative methane production in the FNP group was enhanced by 20.11%.Mechanistic studies suggested that hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis in the FNP group was more pronounced due to the influence of key enzymes(i.e.,dehydrogenase and coenzyme F420).Microbial community analysis demonstrated that FNP could enhance the abundance of Methanosarcina,Proteobacteria,Sytrophomonas,and Limnobacter,which might elevate enzyme activity involved in methane production.These findings suggest that FNP might mediate interspecies electron transfer among these microorganisms,which is essential for efficient leachate treatment.

文摘Intercalation of rare-earth(RE)into Pt offers an option to optimize the electronic structure of Pt-based catalysts by interaction effect,in which the synergistic catalytic sites are of great significance,yet the underpinning mechanism remains elusive.Herein,the introduction of silanol nests enables the alloy formation on the SiO_(2)surface.The amination modification is disclosed to induce the electron transfer from RE to Pt and weaken the adsorption of CO on electron-rich Pt species.In situ/operando spectroscopic analyses in conjunction with density functional theory calculations demonstrate the electronic couple of Pt atoms and adjacent Ce atoms concurrently achieves the enhancement of CO oxidation and suppression of H_(2)oxidation.Additionally,CO_(2)is readily desorbed from the Pt_(5)Ce(111)surface to enhance intrinsic activity and longevity.These findings provide an atomic-level insight into the synergistic catalytic sites on regulating the electronic state of the Pt-RE alloy catalysts toward highly selective oxidation reactions.

文摘The physicochemical properties of Pd and Pd-Pt catalysts which possess different Ce doping position were investigated by techniques of TEM, XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, XPS and FT-IR. The catalytic performance for methanol total oxidation was examined to study the effects of Ce adding position.CeO2-Al2 O3-TiO2（CAT） catalysts that Ce is directly introduced into support show higher reactivity and CO2 selectivity than CeO2/Al2 O3-TiO2（Ce/AT） samples in which Ce is loaded by impregnation method.The characterization results reveal that the Ce doping position does not cause obvious otherness of basic crystalline phase and mesoporous structure of support. However, the Ce doping position affects the pore shapes of support and then influences the pore diameter. CAT catalysts possess more abundant adsorbed oxygen and more Ti3＋ can transform the more gaseous oxygen into the active oxygen species on the catalyst surface, which is beneficial to the reaction. The Al-O-Ti bridges in CAT facilitate the cooperation of Al and Ti species, which further speeds up the reaction rate.

文摘A series of Ce1-xFexO2 （x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1） complex oxide catalysts were prepared using the coprecipitation method. The catalysts were characterized by means of XRD and H2-TPR. The reactions between methane and lattice oxygen from the complex oxides were investigated. The characteristic results revealed that the combination of Ce and Fe oxide in the catalysts could lower the temperature necessary to reduce the cerium oxide. The catalytic activity for selective CH4 oxidation was strongly influenced by dropped Fe species. Adding the appropriate amount of Fe2O3 to CeO2 could promote the action between CH4 and CeO2. Dispersed Fe2O3 first returned to the original state and would then virtually form the Fe species on the catalyst, which could be considered as the active site for selective CH4 oxidation. The appearance of carbon formation was significant and the oxidation of carbon appeared to be the rate-determining step; the amounts of surface reducible oxygen species in CeO2 were also relevant to the activity. Among all the catalysts, Ce0.6Fe0.402 exhibited the best activity, which converted 94.52% of CH4 at 900 ℃.

文摘Magnetic Fe3 O4@Cu/Ce microspheres were successfully prepared by one-step solvothermal approach and further utilized to remediate toxic arsenic(As(Ⅲ)) pollution. The effects of Cu/Ce elements co-doping on the crystal structure, catalytic oxidation and adsorption behaviors of magnetic microspheres were researched systematically. The results showed that with the aid of Cu/Ce elements, the grain size reduced, lattice defects increased, and the oxygen vacancies and surface hydroxyl groups were improved. Therefore, Cu/Ce elements endowed magnetic Fe3 O4@Cu/Ce microspheres with excellent As(III) removal performance, whose maximum adsorption capacity reached 139.19 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism mainly involved catalytic oxidant co-adsorption. This research developed a feasible strategy for the preparation of high efficiency magnetic adsorbent to enhance the removal of As(Ⅲ).

文摘A series of Fe2O3/Al2O3, Fe2O3/CeO2, Ce0.7Zr0.3O2, and Fe2O3/Ce1-xZrxO2（x = 0.1–0.4） oxides was prepared and their physicochemical features were investigated by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, transmission electron microscope（TEM）, and H2-temperature-programmed reduction（H2-TPR） techniques. The gas–solid reactions between these oxides and methane for syngas generation as well as the catalytic performance for selective oxidation of carbon deposition in O2-enriched atmosphere were investigated in detail. The results show that the samples with the presence of Fe2O3show much higher activity for methane oxidation compared with the Ce0.7Zr0.3O2solid solution,while the CeO2-contained samples represent higher CO selectively in methane oxidation than the Fe2O3/Al2O3sample. This suggests that the iron species should be the active sites for methane activation, and the cerium oxides provide the oxygen source for the selective oxidation of the activated methane to syngas during the reaction between methane and Fe2O3/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2. For the oxidation process of the carbon deposition, the CeO2-containing samples show much higher CO selectivity than the Fe2O3/Al2O3sample, which indicates that the cerium species should play a very important role in catalyzing the carbon selective oxidation to CO. The presence of the Ce–Zr–O solid solution could induce the growth direction of the carbonfilament, resulting in a loose contact between the carbon filament and the catalyst. This results in abundant exposed active sites for catalyzing carbon oxidation, strongly improving the oxidation rate of the carbon deposition over this sample. In addition, the Fe2O3/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2also represents much higher selectivity（ca. 97 %） for the conversion of carbon to CO than the Fe2O3/CeO2sample, which can be attributed to the higher concentration of reduced cerium sites on this sample. The increase of the Zr content in the Fe2O3/Ce1-xZrxO2samples could improve the reactivity of the materials for methane oxidation, but it also reduces the selectivity for CO formation.
文摘The effect of Ce on the oxidation behaviour of undoped and B-doped Ni3 Al has been studied. Ce can refine Al2O3 grains produced in the course of oxidation of polycrystalline Ni3Al, accelerate the diffusion of oxygen along Al2O3 grain boundaries,and promote the growth of Al2O3 grains. As a result, the quantity of less-protective NiO decreases. The oxidation resistance of 0.011% Ce-doped alloy is the best of all Ce-doped Ni3Al alloys. Because B is benefitial to the formation of Al2O3 and Ce can refine Al2O3 grains, the oxidation resistance of the alloy containing both B and Ce is the best.

文摘Induration process of oxidized pellets involves the oxidation of Fe3O4 and re-crystallization of Fe2O3.The oxidation process of Fe3O4 is significant for pellets to obtain better ambient strength.Thus,the effect of MgO on oxidation process of Fe3O4 was investigated.The unreacted core model was applied to analyze the oxidizing induration process of pellets.The experimental results show that MgO plays a negative role in the oxidation process of Fe3O4.The oxidation rate of Fe3O4 in MgO-fluxed pellets（95.0% Fe3O4 ＋5.0% MgO）is slower than that in standard acid pellets（100% Fe3O4）.The relation between oxidation ratio of Fe3O4 and time was calculated based on the unreacted core model for both MgO-fluxed pellets and standard acid pellets.According to verification experiments,the values calculated by model coincide well with the experimental values.Therefore,the unreacted core model could be applied to describe the oxidizing induration process of pellets.

文摘Chemical interaction of Ce-Fe mixed oxides was investigated in methane selective oxidation via methane temperature programmed reduction and methane isothermal reaction tests over Ce-Fe oxygen carriers. In methane temperature programmed reduction test, Ce-Fe oxide behaved complete oxidation at the lower temperature and selective oxidation at higher temperatures. Ce-Fe mixed oxides with the Fe content in the range of 0.1~）.5 was able to produce syngas with high selectivity in high-temperature range （800-900 ~C）, and a higher Fe amount over 0.5 seemed to depress the CO formation. In isothermal reaction, complete oxidation oc- curred at beginning following with selective oxidation later. Ce~_xFexO2~ oxygen carriers （x5_0.5） were proved to be suitable for the selective oxidation of methane. Ce-Fe mixed oxides had the well-pleasing reducibility with high oxygen releasing rate and CO selec- tivity due to the interaction between Ce and Fe species. Strong chemical interaction of Ce-Fe mixed oxides originated from both Fe＊ activated CeO2 and Ce3＋ activated iron oxides （FeOm）, and those chemical interaction greatly enhanced the oxygen mobility and selectivity.

文摘Recent work on the Panzhihua intrusion has produced two separate models for the crystallisation of the intrusion：（1） low-Ti,high CaO and low H2O（0.5 wt.%） parent magma（equivalent to Emeishan low-Ti basalt） at FMQ;and（2） high-Ti,low CaO and higher H2O（＆gt;1.5 wt.%） parent magma（equivalent to Emeishan high-Ti basalt） at FMQ ＋ 1.5.Modelling of these parent magma compositions produces significantly different results. We present here detailed f（O2） and H2O modelling for average compositions of both Emeishan high-Ti and low-Ti ferrobasalts in order to constrain the effects on crystallisation sequences for Emeishan ultra-mafic -mafic layered intrusions.Modelling is consistent with numerous experimental studies on ferro-basaltic magmas from other localities（e.g.Skaergaard intrusion）.Modelling is compared with the geology of the Panzhihua intrusion in order to constrain the crystallisation of the gabbroic rocks and the Fe-Ti oxides ore layers.We suggest that the gabbroic rocks at the Panzhihua intrusion can be best explained by crystallisation from a parent magma similar to that of the high-Ti Emeishan basalt at moderate H2O contents（0.5-1 wt.%） but at the lower end of TiO2 content for typical high-Ti basalts（2.5 wt.%TiO2）. Distinct silicate disequilibrium textures in the Fe-Ti oxide ore layers suggest that an influx of H2O may be responsible for changing the crystallisation path.An increase in H2O during crystallisation of gabbroic rocks will result in the depression of silicate liquidus temperatures and resultant disequilibrium with the liquid.Continued cooling of the magma with high H2O then results in precipitation of Mt-Uv alone. The H2O content of parent magmas for mafic layered intrusions associated with the ELIP is an important variable.H2O alters the crystallisation sequence of the basaltic magmas so that at high H2O and f（O2） Mt -Uv crystallises earlier than plagioclase and clinopyroxene.Furthermore,the addition of H2O to an anhydrous magma can explain silicate disequilibrium texture observed in the Fe-Ti oxide ore layers.

文摘In this study,the thermal stability of a Fe2 O3 catalyst for mercury oxidation was significantly improved by doping with Al2 O3.After 1 hr,the catalyst doped with 10 wt.%Al2 O3 still exhibited a mercury conversion efficiency of 70.9%,while the undoped sample even lost its catalytic activity.Doping with Al2 O3 retarded the collapse of the catalyst mesoporous structure during high-temperature calcination,and the doped samples maintained a higher specific surface area,smaller pore size,and narrower pore size distribution.Transmission electron microscope images revealed that after calcination at 350℃,the average size of the catalyst grains in Fe2 O3 was 23.4 nm;however,the corresponding values for 1%Al2 O3/Fe2 O3,3%Al2 O3/Fe2 O3,and 10%Al2 O3/Fe2 O3 were only 13.3,7.1,and 4.7 nm,respectively.Results obtained from X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry coupled with differential scanning calorimetry confirmed that doping with Al2 O3 also retards the crystallization of the catalysts at high temperature,constraining catalyst grains to a smaller size.

文摘Electrocatalytic hydrogen production from seawater holds enormous promise for clean energy generation.Nevertheless,the direct electrolysis of seawater encounters significant challenges due to poor anodic stability caused by detrimental chlorine chemistry.Herein,we present our recent discovery that the incorporation of Ce into Ni Fe layered double hydroxide nanosheet array on Ni foam(Ce-Ni Fe LDH/NF)emerges as a robust electrocatalyst for seawater oxidation.During the seawater oxidation process,CeO_(2)is generated,effectively repelling Cl^(-)and inhibiting the formation of Cl O-,resulting in a notable enhancement in the oxidation activity and stability of alkaline seawater.The prepared Ce-Ni Fe LDH/NF requires only overpotential of 390 m V to achieve the current density of 1 A cm^(-2),while maintaining long-term stability for 500 h,outperforming the performance of Ni Fe LDH/NF(430 m V,150 h)by a significant margin.This study highlights the effectiveness of a Ce-doping strategy in augmenting the activity and stability of materials based on Ni Fe LDH in seawater electrolysis for oxygen evolution.
