Global warming and rising waste content collectively accelerate the development of renewable-derived ‘low-carbon’ chemical technologies. Among all abundant renewables, marine-/food-waste-derived chitin, only nitrogen-containing sustainable biomass, contains unique N-acetylglucosamine units, which could be synthetically manipulated to a plethora organonitrogen chemicals. Herein, we report effici...

The severe inflammation observed during sepsis is thought to cause diaphragm dysfunction, which is associated with poor patient prognosis. Cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles have been posited to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities suggesting that these particles may be of potential use for the treatment of inflammatory disorders. To investigate this possibility, Sprague Dawley...

The degradation of a high concentration organic pollutants has long been challenge to water restoration, and the development electro-Fenton catalysis offers practical approach solving this problem. In study, novel catalyst, activated fullerene soot-loaded NiO-doped CeO2 (0.4(0.4NiO-CeO2)-AFS) nanoparticles, was prepared through impregnation 0.4NiO-CeO2 particles soot (AFS). When applied for 200...

NiO and CeO2 were prepared via flame spray pyrolysis. The specific surface area total pore volume 251 m2 g–1 2.3 cm3 for 338 3.3 CeO2, respectively. high porosity of the allowed deposition small particles (∼5 nm) by impregnation cerium acetate monohydrate. reduced using 5 % H2 at 500 °C 1 h which converted to metallic Ni. During reduction, growth Ni was hindered particles. Consequently, size re...

This study focused on determining the phytotoxic mechanism of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs): destroying chloroplasts and vascular bundles and altering absorption of nutrients on conventional and Bt-transgenic cottons. Experiments were designed with three concentrations of CeO2 NPs including: 0, 100 and 500 mg·L(-1), and each treatment was three replications. Results indicate that absorbed CeO2 nanop...

La2Zr2O7 (LZO) films were grown on different buffer architectures by radio frequency magnetron sputtering for the large-scale application of YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO)-coated conductors. The three different buffer architectures were cerium oxide (CeO2), yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)/CeO2, and CeO2/YSZ/CeO2. The microstructure and surface morphology of the LZO film were studied by X-ray diffraction, ...

In the present work, ternary Ni-Ce-Mg-O composites containing various amounts of NiO and CeO2 were synthesized via a sol-gel approach. Aqueous solutions cerium nickel nitrates introduced at stage hydrolysis magnesium methoxide, which allowed for avoiding use expensive organic precursors. It was revealed that properties defined by complex interactions between NiO, CeO2, MgO components. order to ...

Cerium dioxide (CeO2) nanoparticles have found wide use in industrial and commercial products, such as coating materials, fuel additives, and nanomedicine, to name a few. As such, it is expected that CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) will find their way into the environment and may be transported via aqueous systems where they may end up in drinking water and/or plants, both of which increase the possib...
