Preface to Special Issue on Advances in Ceria Catalysis
Ceria, which acts as a "star" among the metal-oxides, has established to be one of the most promising materials for chemical transformations and energy applications owing to its redox and acid-base properties. Ceria has become a key component in three-way catalytic converters, water-gas shift reaction, CO oxidation, methane combustion, and complex organic reactions. More importantly, introducing of other metals to ceria, tailoring the shape of the ceria, and reducing structure size of ceria, usually decrease the formation energy of oxygen vacancy (V?) and lead to unique catalytic performances. With the rapid development in catalyst synthesis methods and characterization techniques, ceria-based catalysts with specific active sites are readily obtainable, providing new opportunities to produce catalysts with excellent activity, selectivity and good stability to realize energetically challenging reactions, unlock the reaction mechanism, and explore the potential applications in new organic reactions and industrial production. To date, the development of ceria catalysis has achieved noticeable advances, which motivates us to put together a special issue dedicated to "Advance in Ceria Catalysis". This special issue contains 12 invited papers including 5 reviews, 1 communication, and 6 articles, covering the most inprotant aspects of structure-activity inverstigation, methanism exploration, and new orginic reactions. In the following, a brief description of the papers included in this issue is provided to serve as an outline to encourage further reading.
