Summary: A template-free method was used to fabricate undoped, Cr-doped, and S-doped mesoporous ceria nanostructures. The optimal ratio of cerium coordination polymer to triethanolamine (TEA) for exfoliation was determined to be 30 mg:0.35 mL. The introduction of dopants and heterojunction formation resulted in defects and improved photocatalytic performance. Cr-doped CeO2-x showed the highest photocatalytic performance, while S-doped CeO2-x exhibited lower performance due to reduced porosity from microstructural densification.
