A new organically templated open-framework cerium sulfate, {(C(4)H(16)N(3))[Ce(SO(4))(3)(H(2)O)]}(n), was hydro-thermally synthesized. The Ce(III) cation is nine-coordinated by nine O atoms, including one water mol-ecule. Two of the SO(4) groups afford one monodentate and bidentate linkages as the bridge to connect adjacent Ce(III) cations, while the third SO(4) group attaches the Ce(III) catio...

Cerium oxide (ceria, CeO 2-x where x is 0 to 0.5) has been one of the most widely used heterogeneous catalysts particularly in three way catalytic converters. Most of the catalytic traits can be attributed to two properties of ceria: first, the high mobility and storage capacity of oxygen within the lattice; second, the ease with which cerium changes between Ce 3+ and Ce 4+ states. These proper...

Lanthanide (LnIII) ions were successfully chelated and sensitized with a tripodal ligand. The absolute LnIII-centered emission efficiencies ~3% for both the europium(III) (EuIII) terbium (TbIII) complexes up to 54% cerium(III) (CeIII) complex. differences in quantum yields early lanthanides mid (EuIII TbIII) attributed their d–f f–f nature, respectively. Despite low yield of EuIII complex, comb...

Pt-based nanogap electrodes with a gap separation of 20 nm were prepared by electron-beam lithography (EBL). These employed to fabricate gas sensors combining solution-processed cerium oxide (ceria, CeO2) as the sensing material. Two types (bottom- and top-contact) alternating EBL solution process. Oxygen responses investigated functions separation, ceria film thicknesses, operating temperature...

The influence of a cerium additive on the kinetics of oxidation and size distribution of ultrafine diesel particles was studied using a high-temperature oxidation-tandem differential mobility analysis method over the temperature range 300–700 ◦C. The addition of cerium to the diesel fuel was observed to cause significant changes in numberweighted size distributions, light-off temperature, and k...

YAG:Ce3+ nanoparticles 9.5+/-1.2 nm in diameter have been synthesized from aluminium isopropoxide and acetates of yttrium and cerium in 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD) by autoclave treatment at 300 degrees C for 2 h. After replacing 1,4-BD by ultrapure water, NH2 groups were introduced on the surface of YAG:Ce3+ nanoparticles by addition of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane then biotinylation with sulfo-NH...

In the present work, the effect of several parameters involved in the preparation of PdCe-HMOR catalysts active for NOx selective catalytic reduction with methane (NOx CH4-SCR) was studied. Results show that the catalytic performance of Pd-HMOR is better when palladium is introduced by ion-exchange, namely at room temperature. It was also shown that Pd loading does not influence the formation o...
