The Co3O4-CeO2 catalysts with different Co/Ce ratios （mol/mol） were prepared via the nanocasting method and the mesostructure was replicated from two-dimensional （2D） hexagonal SBA-15 and three-dimensional （3D） cubic KIT-6 silicas, respectively. All the obtained Co3O4-CeO2 catalysts exhibited the similar symmetry with the parent silicas and well ordered mesostructures. The Co3O4- CeO2 catalysts with 2D mesostructure showed lower catalytic activities than the corresponding 3D materials. The Co3O4-CeO2 catalyst nanocasted from KIT-6 and with the Co/Ce ratio of 16/1 possessed the best catalytic benzene oxidation activity due to larger quantities of surface hydroxyl groups and surface oxygenated species. The mesostructured Co3O4-CeO2 material thus shows great potential as a promising eco-environmental catalyst for benzene effective elimination.展开更多

In combination with the characterization methods of N2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）, and FT-IR, the influence of the cerium content on the catalytic performance of CeO2-Co3O4 was investigated. The results indicate that the prepared CeO2-Co3O4 catalysts exhibit a better activity than that of pure CeO2 or pure Co3O4. The catalyst with the Ce/Co atomic ratio 1 ： 16 exhibits the best activity, which converts 77% of CO at room temperature and completely oxidizes CO at 45 ℃.展开更多

For this purpose, the hybrid supercapacitor power cell were prepared composing 3D porous graphene decorated with Co_3O_4-CeO_2 nano-particles herein by using flower stem as biotemplate. The resulting samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy（XRD）, nitrogen adsorption and desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectrogram（XPS）, and electrochemical test. The 3D graphene acted as an excellent carrier together with Co_3O_4-CeO_2 nano-particles, boosting the specific capacitance of composite（221 F/g）, which exceeded the theoretical value limit. This facile biotemplate method of research provided an eco-friendly and cut-price route to obtain high-quality graphene and Co_3O_4-CeO_2nano-composites owing to the unique porous structure derived from original template（flower stem）. The finding presented a simple strategy for fabrication of novel energy storage devices.展开更多
