Confinement of nano-gold in 3D hierarchically structured gadolinium-doped ceria mesocrystal: synergistic effect of chemical composition and structural hierarchy in CO and propane oxidation

Abstract

The article presents knowledge-driven design of multifunctional hierarchically structured gold on ceria catalyst for environmental applications. Variety of configurations of gold-decorated ceria has been obtained by precise control of the...

Modelling bulk and surface characteristics of cubic CeO2, Gd2O3, and gadolinium-doped ceria using a partial charge framework

“…[14][15][16] This property of YSZ, to function as a solid electrolyte, makes it an advanced material for SOFCs 11,13 and other applications, including oxygen sensors 17,18 and advanced catalysis procedures. 19,20 To achieve a sufficiently high diffusivity of the oxygen ions, comparably high operation temperatures in the range of 600 to 800 1C are required. 21,22 Therefore, finding alternative electrolyte materials with sufficient ion mobility below 700 1C is essential and a highly active field in contemporary research.…”
