Summary: The novel Ce3Zr5O16 composite with gradient distribution of elements (CZ-tcp) prepared by two-step coprecipitation shows enhanced stability and lower decay rates of pore volume and oxygen storage capacity compared to the sample obtained from conventional coprecipitation (CZ-cp). The catalyst supported on CZ-tcp (Pd@CZ-tcp) exhibits improved catalytic activity of HC and NO, as well as better thermal stability of CO catalytic activity, indicating that CZ-tcp can serve as a competitive oxygen storage support for three-way catalyst.

Summary: The catalytic efficiency of Pd@CeO2 catalyst supported by Halloysite was enhanced by hydrothermal carbonization. The catalyst with carbonized Hal showed higher catalytic activity due to the proportion of carbon and oxygen functional groups. Furthermore, combining alkaline modification with hydrothermal carbonization significantly reduced the conversion temperature of CO.

Summary: In Taiwan, the excessive emissions of pollutant gases from over 14 million motorcycles contribute significantly to air pollution in urban areas. In this study, the fine structures and oxidation states of Pt/Pd/Rh/Ce species in washcoat catalysts of motorcycle catalytic converters were investigated. The results showed that using Pt/Rh/Pd/Ce species on ceria/alumina washcoat effectively controlled the emissions of HCs pollutants through CO exclusion. The presence of an oxygen-rich environment facilitated the oxidation of Rh and Pd species, while the oxidation of Pt species was relatively more difficult. The transition metal in the washcoat catalysts was found to be consistent with the La-O distances at approximately 2.49 angstrom.

Summary: The NO reduction performance of Pt-based three-way catalysts (TWCs) was enhanced by introducing alkaline earth metals to adjust the electron environment of Pt. The structure-activity relationship showed that the NO reduction activity increased as the electronegativity of the alkaline earth metals decreased, with Pt-Ba/LA being the most active. It was found that the alkaline earth metals weakened the poisoning effect of CO and improved the promoting effect of HCs, leading to improved NO adsorption and increased reaction rate with CO and HCs.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of thermal aging and sulfur poisoning on the efficiency and lifetime of natural gas three-way catalysts (TWCs). The results show that both thermal aging and sulfur-induced deactivations lead to a degradation in CH4 combustion performance due to the reconstruction of Pd species and decreased reducibility of the support. Sulfation aging promotes the activation of CH4 and O2, but the sulfate also hinders the exchange of lattice oxygen.

Summary: This study investigated the redox behavior of Pd/CeO2-ZrO2 (Pd/CZ) model three-way catalysts through in situ diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, revealing a strong correlation between Pd oxidation rate and the presence of three-phase boundaries (TPB). The study found that TPB abundance plays a significant role in retarding Pd oxidation, with smaller particle sizes leading to more pronounced effects. The ratio of rate constants provides a useful index for estimating the deactivation of the catalyst due to thermal sintering.

Summary: A series of Pt-Pd bimetallic catalysts supported on CeO2-ZrO2-La2O3 mixed oxides were synthesized and their catalytic performance and physio-chemical characterizations were evaluated. The Pt/Pd ratios strongly affect the three-way catalytic behaviors by modulating the synergistic effect and dispersion of precious metals. The improved dispersion promotes metal-support interaction, increases surface oxygen vacancies concentration, enhances the thermal stability, and augments low temperature CO and NO reactions through increased NOx adsorption and nitrate conversion.

Summary: Surgical removal of damaged eyes is sometimes necessary for patients with serious oculoorbital injuries, intraocular cancers, and other life-threatening diseases. Orbital implants are used to replace the removed eye, providing volume and improving the cosmetic appearance. The design and materials of these implants have improved over the years, but there are still challenges such as migration, infections, and poor eye mobility. Therefore, the development of novel biomaterials with improved functionalities is crucial for better eye replacement.

Summary: In this study, 105 novel benzo five-membered heterocycle derivatives were designed, synthesized, and screened. Compound d7 showed low cytotoxicity and promising reversal activity to doxorubicin. Mechanism studies revealed that d7 inhibited the efflux function of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), leading to its reversal activity. Molecular docking confirmed the strong affinity between d7 and P-gp. Combined administration of d7 with doxorubicin exhibited enhanced antitumor activity. These findings highlight the potential of d7 as a P-gp inhibitor in overcoming multidrug resistance.
