Metal oxide catalysts like CeO2 exhibit promising prospects to replace the currently used noble metal in catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Although oxygen vacancy is regarded as an active site these novel VOC elimination (e.g., toluene), its actual function and activity remain unclear due limitation following dynamic evolution during reactions. Meanwhile, because involves generation–consumption cycle reactive species rather than being constant, this barrier causes a...
