Catalytic combustion technology is one of the effective methods to remove VOCs such as toluene from industrial emissions. The decomposition an aromatic ring via catalyst oxygen vacancies usually rate-determining step oxidation into CO2. Series CeO2 probe models were synthesized with different ratios surface-to-bulk vacancies. Besides devotion surface vacancies, a part bulk promotes redox property in catalytic combustion: tend adsorb and activate gaseous O2 form adsorbed species, whereas...
MOx/ABO3 is a promising catalyst for the high-efficiency removal of volatile organic compounds. However, this limited on practical applications due to its complex synthesis procedure and high cost. In work, MnO2/LaMnO3 was prepared in situ using facile one-step method first time, which partial La cations were selectively removed from three dimensionally chain-like ordered macroporous (3DOM) LaMnO3 material. After selective removal, obtained sample expressed an excellent catalytic performance...
With the expansion of industry, emission greenhouse gases is increasing, and its impact on climate becoming more serious. CO2 main culprit effect, how to effectively solve problem caused by has attracted attention. In recent years, there have been continuous attempts reduce emissions from source, but no obvious results achieved. fact, not only a gas, also potential carbon resource. Therefore, capture use research direction that many scholars exploring recently. this paper, current situations...
Selective dissolution is a common corrosion process in dealloying which an alloy immersed acid to remove the active element, leaving behind inert constituent.

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...
Understanding the sensing mechanism of metal oxide semiconductors is imperative to development high-performance sensors.
