This paper presents a facile and controlled protocol for the syn- thesis of Al-doped CeO2 hollow-shell spheres (CHS), where the dopant confers enhanced stability and activity to the ma- terial. These Al-doped CeO2 hollow-shell spheres (ACHS) possess a controllable shell number of up to three, where the sizes of the exterior, middle, and interior spheres were about 250-100 nm,150-50 nm, and 40-10 nm, respectively, and the average shell thickness was -15 nm. The thermal stability of the ACHS structure was enhanced by the homogeneous in- corporation of AI atoms, and more active oxygen species were present compared with those in the non-doped congener. Au NPs supported on ACHS (Au/ACHS) showed superior cat- alytic performance for the reduction of p-nitrophenol. For the same Au NP content, the reaction rate constant (k) of the Au/ACHS was nearly twice that of the non-doped Au/CHS, indicating that AI doping is promising for improving the per- formance of inert or unstable oxides as catalyst supports.展开更多

Cu I@PS-Phen can efficiently catalyze the click polymerization of diynes a and diazides b to produce soluble and thermally stable polytriazoles with high molecular weights(Mw up to 30800), and low copper residue content(down to 190 ppm) in high yields(up to 94.2%) under mild reaction conditions without the exclusion of oxygen.展开更多
