Cont...NH_(3) in ambient air directly leads to an increase in the aerosol content in the air. These substances lead to the formation of haze to various environmental problems after atmospheric circulation and diffusion. Controlling NH_(3) emissions caused by ammonia escaping from mobile and industrial sources can effectively reduce the NH_(3) content in ambient air. Among the various NH_(3) removal methods, the selective catalytic oxygen method (NH_(3)-SCO) is committed to oxidizing NH_(3) to environmentally harmless H_(2)O and N_(2);therefore, it is the most valuable and ideal ammonia removal method. In this review, the characteristics of loaded and core-shell catalysts in NH_(3)-SCO have been reviewed in the context of catalyst structure-activity relationships, and the H_(2)O resistance and SO2 resistance of the catalysts are discussed in the context of practical application conditions. Then the effects of the valence state of the active center, oxygen species on the catalyst surface, dispersion of the active center and acidic sites on the catalyst performance are discussed comprehensively. Finally, the shortcomings of the existing catalysts are summarized and the catalyst development is discussed based on the existing studies.展开更多

These therapies differ in their convenience, flexibility, regional availability and expense but share their pharmacokinetic basis of approval and dearth of long-term safety data. The brevity and relatively reduced cost of pharmacokinetic based registration trials provides little commercial incentive to develop improved novel therapies for the treatment of late onset male hypogonadism. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have been shown to provide anabolic benefit in the absence of androgenic effects on prostate, hair and skin. Current clinical development for SARMs is focused on acute muscle wasting conditions with defined clinical endpoints of physical function and lean body mass. Similar regulatory clarity concerning clinical deficits in men with hypogonadism is required before the beneficial pharmacology and desirable pharmacokinetics of SARMs can be employed in the treatment of late onset male hypogonadism.展开更多

However,floatation of free gold exhibits more variables in practice.In this study, improving gold recovery of a Pb-Zn sulfide ore from Yunnan Province, China, was investigated. The results show that free gold and auriferous sulfides account for 94.99 % of total gold. Without adding organic acid in floatation, only 82 % recovery of gold could be obtained.Gold recovery in Au/Pb concentrates increases by 9.29 %with oxalate added and by 7.35 % with citric acid added,respectively, while performances of lead and arsenic nearly keep a constant. A possible reason is that free gold is of wonderful selectivity against pyrite with organic activators.A new method to enhance gold recovery is proposed.展开更多

文摘Defect engineering in metal organic frameworks(MOFs)has captured significant attention in the field of photocatalysis.A series of UiO-66(Ce)(UiO=University of Oslo)MOFs with different contents of missing-linker defects have been developed for the photocatalytic selective oxidation of benzylamine(BA)and thioanisole(TA)under visible light.The introduction of missing-linker defects promotes the formation of unsaturated Ce sites with a high Ce3+content.It also generates a high concentration of oxygen vacancies.In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)results revealed that BA and TA molecules were activated on coordinatively unsaturated Ce sites via the H-N…Ce and the C-S…Ce interactions,respectively.Simulated in situ electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)data indicate that O_(2) activation and reduction occur at coordinatively unsaturated Ce^(3+)sites to form·O_(2)^(-).This is accelerated by the Ce^(3+)/Ce^(4+)redox cycle associated with the photogenerated electrons.The corresponding photogenerated holes are involved in the deprotonation of the activated BA and TA.The most active sample exhibits 98.4%and 95.5%conversion rates for BA and TA oxidation.Mechanisms for the molecular activation are proposed at the molecular level.

文摘BACKGROUND Liuweiwuling Tablet(LWWL)is a Chinese patent medicine approved for the treatment of chronic inflammation caused by hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection.Previous studies have indicated an anti-HBV effect of LWWL,specifically in terms of antigen inhibition,but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.AIM To investigate the potential mechanism of action of LWWL against HBV.METHODS In vitro experiments utilized three HBV-replicating and three non-HBV-replicating cell lines.The in vivo experiment involved a hydrodynamic injectionmediated mouse model with HBV replication.Transcriptomics and metabolomics were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of action of LWWL.RESULTS In HepG2.1403F cells,LWWL(0.8 mg/mL)exhibited inhibitory effects on HBV DNA,hepatitis B surface antigen and pregenomic RNA(pgRNA)at rates of 51.36%,24.74%and 50.74%,respectively.The inhibition rates of LWWL(0.8mg/mL)on pgRNA/covalently closed circular DNA in HepG2.1403F,HepG2.2.15 and HepG2.A64 cells were 47.78%,39.51%and 46.74%,respectively.Integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics showed that the anti-HBV effect of LWWL was primarily linked to pathways related to apoptosis(PI3K-AKT,CASP8-CASP3 and P53 pathways).Apoptosis flow analysis revealed that the apoptosis rate in the LWWL-treated group was significantly higher than in the control group(CG)among HBV-replicating cell lines,including HepG2.2.15(2.92%±1.01%vs 6.68%±2.04%,P<0.05),HepG2.A64(4.89%±1.28%vs 8.52%±0.50%,P<0.05)and HepG2.1403F(3.76%±1.40%vs 7.57%±1.35%,P<0.05)(CG vs LWWL-treated group).However,there were no significant differences in apoptosis rates between the non-HBV-replicating HepG2 cells(5.04%±0.74%vs 5.51%±1.57%,P>0.05),L02 cells(5.49%±0.80%vs 5.48%±1.01%,P>0.05)and LX2 cells(6.29%±1.54%vs 6.29%±0.88%,P>0.05).TUNEL staining revealed a significantly higher apoptosis rate in the LWWL-treated group than in the CG in the HBVreplicating mouse model,while no noticeable difference in apoptosis rates between the two groups was observed in the non-HBV-replicating mouse model.CONCLUSION Preliminary results suggest that LWWL exerts a potent inhibitory effect on wild-type and drug-resistant HBV,potentially involving selective regulation of apoptosis.These findings offer novel insights into the anti-HBV activities of LWWL and present a novel mechanism for the development of anti-HBV medications.

文摘The transition metal-catalyzed C–H activation have been considered as increasingly useful approach for installing new functional groups onto organic small molecules due to their high step-and atom-economy,the abundance of hydrocarbon compounds,and the potential for late-stage functionalization of complex organic molecules.The ortho-and meta-C-H activation and functionalization of aromatic compounds have been widely explored in recent years,however the distal para-C-H activation and functionalization has remained a significant challenge because of the difficulty in forming energetically favorable metallacyclic transition states.The utilization of appropriate directing groups or templates as well as the meticulous design of catalysts and ligands has proven to be effective in transition-metal-catalyzed remote para-C-H bonds activation and functionalization of aromatic compounds.This review aims to summarize the strategies for controlling para-selective C–H functionalization using the directing group,template engineering,and catalyst/ligand design under transition metals catalysis in recent years.

文摘Supramolecular prodrug vesicles(H-4⊃B-2@MB)with selective antibacterial activity have been successfully constructed.Specifically,a natural antibiotic prodrug(B-2)with glutathione(GSH)-responsiveness was synthesized.The hydrophobic interaction between B-2 and a novel water-soluble cavitand with deep cavity(H-4)resulted in the formation of a host-vip complex,which further self-assembled into supramolecular vesicles.The formed vesicles could effectively encapsulate the photosensitizer methylene blue(MB),enabling co-delivery of antibiotics and photosensitizers in the presence of GSH.Moreover,upon excitation at 630 nm,the photosensitizers generate reactive oxygen species(ROS),effectively eradicating E.coli through combined chemo-photodynamic therapy.Considering that GSH is predominantly present in Gram-negative bacteria such as E.coli,this strategy exhibits substantial potential for selectively inhibiting bacteria characterized by high GSH levels to regulate bacterial colony equilibrium.

文摘Nanomaterials that can sequentially respond to internal and external stimuli,functioning as a sequential gate,have great potential for targeting different aspects of antitumor immunity.Herein,we construct a mannose-modified,pH and reactive oxygen species(ROS) sequential-responsive,transformable dualimmunofunction nanoprodrug(MpRTNP).This nanoprodrug encapsulates a transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) receptor inhibitor SD-208(MpRTNP@SD),to simultaneously alleviate the immunosuppressive effects of TGF-β and tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs).In the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment(TME),the vesicle-micelle morphology transformation occurs owing to the protonation of PC7A,which is accompanied by SD-208 release to inhibit cancer-associated fibroblasts and regulatory T cells.The transformed micelles then target TAMs via mannose receptor-media ted endocytosis.Upon laser irradiation,the thioketal linker is cleaved,releasing conjugated chlorin e6 and generating ROS,which facilitates TAM polarization.The PC7A^(+) segment activates the stimulator of the interferon gene in TAMs with elevated phosphorylation of TANK binding kinase 1 and interferon regulatory factor 3,and type I interferon secretion.MpRTNP@SD displays superior abscopal effects and robust antitumor immunity,as evidenced by increased CD8^(+)/CD4^(+) T cell infiltration and reduced regulatory T cell(Treg) ratios.Mouse survival time is prolonged after combination with the CD47 antibody.This study provides a novel strategy for potent antitumor immunotherapy through pH and ROS sequential-gated spatiotemporal regulation of the TME.

文摘Deep neural network(DNN)models have achieved remarkable performance across diverse tasks,leading to widespread commercial adoption.However,training high-accuracy models demands extensive data,substantial computational resources,and significant time investment,making them valuable assets vulnerable to unauthorized exploitation.To address this issue,this paper proposes an intellectual property(IP)protection framework for DNN models based on feature layer selection and hyper-chaotic mapping.Firstly,a sensitivity-based importance evaluation algorithm is used to identify the key feature layers for encryption,effectively protecting the core components of the model.Next,the L1 regularization criterion is applied to further select high-weight features that significantly impact the model’s performance,ensuring that the encryption process minimizes performance loss.Finally,a dual-layer encryption mechanism is designed,introducing perturbations into the weight values and utilizing hyperchaotic mapping to disrupt channel information,further enhancing the model’s security.Experimental results demonstrate that encrypting only a small subset of parameters effectively reduces model accuracy to random-guessing levels while ensuring full recoverability.The scheme exhibits strong robustness against model pruning and fine-tuning attacks and maintains consistent performance across multiple datasets,providing an efficient and practical solution for authorization-based DNN IP protection.

文摘The loss of rare earths(REs)takes place during the pre-decalcification process of mixed rare earth concentrate.In an effort to reduce such RE loss,a novel idea to improve the leaching selectivity of Ca to REs by applying selective mechanical activation was proposed.First,regarding the key minerals affecting the leaching selectivity of Ca to REs,the differences in the mechanical activation behaviors of CaF_(2) and REFCO_(3) were studied,and we find that the lattice strain of CaF_(2) increases from 0.21%to 0.42%,whereas that of REFCO_(3) increases from 0.31%to 0.40%.Notably,CaF_(2) demonstrates a larger lattice strain than REFCO_(3),indicating greater mechanical activation energy storage and higher leaching activity.Next,the HCl leaching process was studied.A significant leaching selectivity of Ca to REs,from 21.6 to 35.1,is achieved through mechanical activation.The Ca leaching rate reaches 80.7%when the RE loss is 2.3%in the activated sample.This study provides an novel approach for achieving selective extraction of specific components via mechanical activation pretreatment.
文摘Single-atom catalysts are promising for H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis from O_(2) and H_(2)O,but their efficiency is still limited by the ill-defined electronic structure.In this study,Co single-atoms with unique four planar N-coordination and one axial P-coordination(Co-N_(4)P_(1))are decorated on the lateral edges of nanorod-like crystalline g-C_(3)N_(4)(CCN)photocatalysts.Significantly,the electronic structures of central Co as active sites for O_(2) reduction reaction(ORR)and planar N-coordinator as active sites for H_(2)O oxidation reaction(WOR)in Co-N_(4)P_(1) can be well regulated by the synergetic effects of introducing axial P-coordinator,in contrast to the decorated Co single-atoms with only four planar N-coordination(Co-N_(4)).Specifically,directional photoelectron accumulation at central Co active sites,induced by an introduced midgap level in Co-N_(4)P_(1),mediates the ORR active sites from 4e–-ORR-selective terminal–NH_(2) sites to 2e–-ORR-selective Co sites,moreover,an elevated d-band center of Co 3d orbital strengthens ORR intermediate*OOH adsorption,thus jointly facilitating a highly selective and active 2e^(–)-ORR pathway to H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis.Simultaneously,a downshifted p-band center of N_(2)p orbital in Co-N_(4)P_(1) weakens WOR intermediate*OH adsorption,thus enabling a preferable 2e^(–)-WOR pathway toward H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis.Subsequently,Co-N_(4)P_(1) exhibits exceptional H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis efficiency,reaching 295.6μmol g^(-1) h^(-1) with a remarkable solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.32%,which is 15 times that of Co-N_(4)(19.2μmol g^(-1) h^(-1))and 10 times higher than CCN(27.6μmol g^(-1) h^(-1)).This electronic structure modulation on single-atom catalysts offers a promising strategy for boosting the activity and selectivity of H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis.

文摘NH_(3) in ambient air directly leads to an increase in the aerosol content in the air. These substances lead to the formation of haze to various environmental problems after atmospheric circulation and diffusion. Controlling NH_(3) emissions caused by ammonia escaping from mobile and industrial sources can effectively reduce the NH_(3) content in ambient air. Among the various NH_(3) removal methods, the selective catalytic oxygen method (NH_(3)-SCO) is committed to oxidizing NH_(3) to environmentally harmless H_(2)O and N_(2);therefore, it is the most valuable and ideal ammonia removal method. In this review, the characteristics of loaded and core-shell catalysts in NH_(3)-SCO have been reviewed in the context of catalyst structure-activity relationships, and the H_(2)O resistance and SO2 resistance of the catalysts are discussed in the context of practical application conditions. Then the effects of the valence state of the active center, oxygen species on the catalyst surface, dispersion of the active center and acidic sites on the catalyst performance are discussed comprehensively. Finally, the shortcomings of the existing catalysts are summarized and the catalyst development is discussed based on the existing studies.
文摘Tuning oxygen vacancy(VO)in metal oxides catalysts that efficiently activates O_(2)molecule to promote oxidation reactions remains challenging.Herein,transition metal(M=Mn,Co,and Mo)doping was used to moderate the coordination environment of VO in La_(2)FeMO_(6)and promote activity for selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide(H_(2)S).Various techniques reveal that the introduction of Mn and Co forms the homogeneous double perovskite phase,which results in the formation of asymmetric VO.Although these asymmetric VO are more difficult to form than symmetric Fe-VO-Fe due to the shorter bond distance and stronger bond strength of Fe-O,they are more conducive to the dissociation of O_(2)molecules.Among them,the formed rich Fe-VO-Mn sites from the alternate substitution of Mn to Fe boosted the activation of O_(2)molecules of Mn-substituted LaFeO_(3).Therefore,enhanced catalytic activity and outstanding sulfur selectivity were achieved as a result of promoted oxygen mobility and reducibility.This work provides an attractive strategy for rational design of advanced oxidation catalysts.
文摘Several testosterone preparations are used in the treatment of hypogonadism in the ageing male. These therapies differ in their convenience, flexibility, regional availability and expense but share their pharmacokinetic basis of approval and dearth of long-term safety data. The brevity and relatively reduced cost of pharmacokinetic based registration trials provides little commercial incentive to develop improved novel therapies for the treatment of late onset male hypogonadism. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have been shown to provide anabolic benefit in the absence of androgenic effects on prostate, hair and skin. Current clinical development for SARMs is focused on acute muscle wasting conditions with defined clinical endpoints of physical function and lean body mass. Similar regulatory clarity concerning clinical deficits in men with hypogonadism is required before the beneficial pharmacology and desirable pharmacokinetics of SARMs can be employed in the treatment of late onset male hypogonadism.

文摘Flue gas and coal bed methane are two important sources of greenhouse gases.Pressure swing adsorption process has a wide range of application in the field of gas separation,and the selection of adsorbent is crucial.In this regard,in order to assess the better adsorbent for separating CO_(2) from flue gas and CH_(4) from coal bed methane,adsorption isotherms of CO_(2),CH_(4) and N_(2) on activated carbon and carbon molecular sieve are measured at 303.15,318.15 and 333.15 K,and up to 250 kPa.The experimental data fit better with Langmuir 2 compared to Langmuir 3 and Langmuir-Freundlich models,and Clausius-Clapeyron equation was used to calculate the isosteric heat.Both the order of the adsorbed amount and the adsorption heat on the two adsorbents are CO_(2)>CH_(4)>N_(2).The adsorption kinetics are calculated by the pseudo-first kinetic model,and the order of adsorption rates on activated carbon is N_(2)-CH_(4)>CO_(2),while on carbon molecular sieve,it is CO_(2)-N_(2)>CH_(4).It is shown that relative molecular mass and adsorption heat are the primary effect on kinetics for activated carbon,while kinetic diameter is the main resistance factor for carbon molecular sieve.Moreover,the adsorption selectivity of CH_(4)/N_(2) and CO_(2)/N_(2) were estimated with the ideal adsorption solution theory,and carbon molecular sieve performed best at 318.15 K for both CO_(2) and CH_(4) separation.The study suggested that activated carbon is a better choice for separating flue gas and carbon molecular sieve can be a strong candidate for separating coal bed methane.

文摘Converting hydrocarbons into aldehydes in a green and environmentally benign way is of great signif-icance in fine chemistry.In this work,all-inorganic Cs_(3)Bi_(2)B_(9) perovskite nanoparticles were uniformly loaded on BiOBr nanosheets via an in-situ growth method,which can selectivity photoactivate aromatic C(sp^(3))-H bond of toluene to generate benzaldehyde.According to the in-situ X-ray photoelectron spec-troscopy characterization,the photogenerated electrons of BiOBr transfer to Cs_(3)Bi_(2)B_(9) enforced by the in-ternal electric field under light irradiation,resulting in S-scheme heterojunction.Furthermore,theoretical calculations indicate that toluene molecules are inclined to adsorb on the BiOBr surface,subsequently in-volving the oxidation reaction to generate benzyl radical(PhCH_(2)·)by using the energetic holes of BiOBr,while the remaining photoinduced electrons in the conduction band(CB)of Cs_(3)Bi_(2)B_(9) with powerful reduction ability reduce O2 into·O_(2)^(-),which is the vital oxidative active species working on toluene selective oxidation process.Such an unexceptionable charge carrier utilization mode and tendentious ad-sorption behavior of reactants contribute to the optimized Cs_(3)Bi_(2)B_(9)/BiOBr heterojunction with excellent photocatalytic performance,achieving a maximum of 22.5%toluene conversion and 96.2%selectivity to-wards benzaldehyde formation.This work provides a rational photocatalyst heterojunction construction protocol for the selective oxidation of saturated aromatic C-H bonds.
文摘MIL-53(Fe)was synthesized using a“modulator approach”that utilizes acetic acid(HAc)as an additive to control the size and morphology of the resulting crystals.We demonstrate that after activation under vaccum at 100℃,the MIL-53(Fe)functions well for H2S selective oxidation.The introduction of acetic acid in the presence of benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid(H2BDC)would result in a series of MIL-53(Fe)nanocrystals(denoted as MIL-53(Fe)-xH,x stands for the volume of added HAc with morphology evoluting from irregular particles to short hexagonal columns.The vacuum treatment facilitates the removal of acetate groups,thus generating Fe3+Lewis acid sites.Consequently,the resulted MIL-53(Fe)-xH exhibits good catalytic activity(98%H2S conversion and 92%sulfur selectivity)at moderate reaction temperatures(100–190℃).The MIL-53(Fe)-5H is superior to the traditional iron-based catalysts,showing stable performance in a test period of 55 h.
文摘Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a devastating disease with significant mortality and morbidity,despite advances in treating cerebral aneurysms.There has been recent progress in the intensive care management and monitoring of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage,but the results remain unsatisfactory.Microglia,the resident immune cells of the brain,are increasingly recognized as playing a significant role in neurological diseases,including subarachnoid hemorrhage.In early brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage,microglial activation and neuroinflammation have been implicated in the development of disease complications and recovery.To understand the disease processes following subarachnoid hemorrhage,it is important to focus on the modulators of microglial activation and the pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.In this review,we summarize research on the modulators of microglia-mediated inflammation in subarachnoid hemorrhage,including transcriptome changes and the neuroinflammatory signaling pathways.We also describe the latest developments in single-cell transcriptomics for microglia and summarize advances that have been made in the transcriptome-based classification of microglia and the implications for microglial activation and neuroinflammation.
文摘Utilizing single atom sites doping into metal oxides to modulate their intrinsic active sites,achieving precise selectivity control in complex organic reactions,is a highly desirable yet challenging endeavor.Meanwhile,identifying the active site also represents a significant obstacle,primarily due to the intricate electronic environment of single atom site doped metal oxide.Herein,a single atom Cu doped TiO_(2)catalyst(Cu_(1)-TiO_(2)) is prepared via a simple“colloid-acid treatment”strategy,which switches aniline oxidation selectivity of TiO_(2) from azoxybenzene to nitrosobenzene,without using additives or changing solvent,while other metal or nonmetal doped TiO_(2) did not possess.Comprehensive mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations unveil that Ti-O active site is responsible for triggering the aniline to form a new PhNOH intermediate,two PhNOH condense to azoxybenzene over TiO_(2) catalyst.As for Cu_(1)-TiO_(2),the charge-specific distribution between the isolated Cu and TiO_(2) generates unique Cu_(1)-O-Ti hybridization structure with nine catalytic active sites,eight of them make PhNOH take place spontaneous dissociation to produce nitrosobenzene.This work not only unveils a new mechanistic pathway featuring the PhNOH intermediate in aniline oxidation for the first time but also presents a novel approach for constructing single-atom doped metal oxides and exploring their intricate active sites.

文摘Free gold and gold wrapped in sulfides are considered as the object of gold floatation. However,floatation of free gold exhibits more variables in practice.In this study, improving gold recovery of a Pb-Zn sulfide ore from Yunnan Province, China, was investigated. The results show that free gold and auriferous sulfides account for 94.99 % of total gold. Without adding organic acid in floatation, only 82 % recovery of gold could be obtained.Gold recovery in Au/Pb concentrates increases by 9.29 %with oxalate added and by 7.35 % with citric acid added,respectively, while performances of lead and arsenic nearly keep a constant. A possible reason is that free gold is of wonderful selectivity against pyrite with organic activators.A new method to enhance gold recovery is proposed.

文摘To improve the denitrification performance of carbon-based materials for sintering flue gas,we prepared a composite catalyst comprising coconut shell activated carbon(AC)modified by thermal oxidation air.The microstructure,the specific surface area,the pore volume,the crystal structure,and functional groups presented in the prepared Cu2O/AC catalysts were thoroughly characterized.By using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms,Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry(XRD),the effects of Cu2O loading and calcination temperature on Cu2O/AC catalysts were investigated at low temperature(150℃).The research shows that Cu on the Cu2O/AC catalyst is in the form of Cu2O with good crystalline performance and is spherical and uniformly dispersed on the AC surface.The loading of Cu2O increases the active sites and the specific surface area of the reaction gas contact,which is conducive to the rapid progress of the carbon monoxide selective catalytic reduction(CO-SCR)reaction.When the loading of Cu2O was 8%and the calcination temperature was 500℃,the removal rate of NOx facilitated by the Cu2O/AC catalyst reached 97.9%.These findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the denitrification of sintering flue gas.

文摘A series of VOx/CeO2 catalysts we re synthesized via vanadia supported on ceria with different BET surface areas.The catalysts were employed to investigate the active sites for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3(NH3-SCR).The kinetic results show that VOx/CeO2 catalysts exhibit nearly constant apparent activation energies(Ea),indicating the same SCR reaction mechanism.The V-O-Ce bridging modes and oligomeric VOx were identified and quantified by Raman,FT-IR and H2-TPR.The amounts of the V-O-Ce bridging modes calculated by H2-TPR are correlated to the NH3-SCR intrinsic reaction rates.The turnover frequencies(TOFs) show a constant value at the same temperature,which were calculated based on the number of V-O-Ce bridging modes of VOx/CeO2 catalysts.Therefore,it can be concluded that the V-O-Ce bridging modes are the active sites of VOx/CeO2 catalysts for the NH3-SCR reaction.
