• or more distinct atoms, can mitigate the drawbacks of CDs. The optical characteristics and applications of CDs may be enhanced by doping them with nitrogen, sulfur, and other elements. Due to the synergistic interaction between the doped heteroatoms in CDs, the co-doping with heteroatoms has started

• can be expected to create other ceria-based composite oxide systems with various structures for a broad range of technical applications. Keywords: CeO2; CO oxidation; surface decoration; synergistic interaction; yolk–shell structure; Introduction As one of the most important rare-earth oxides, ceria

• ]. Taking the CeO2–CuO catalyst as a typical example, the improved catalytic activity is closely related to the synergistic interaction between copper and ceria, which promotes the exchange of charges between Ce4+/Ce3+ and Cu2+/Cu+ and leads to faster oxidation and reduction than that of the corresponding

• , thus, the facilitation of synergistic interaction between two components are necessary to optimize the catalytic performances. The unique structure and texture of CeO2-based catalysts is also associated with high activity and stability in the catalytic reaction. For instance, rod-like CeO2–CuO

• nanocubes, show higher catalytic activity towards OER in alkaline medium. This is due to the presence of the low surface energy crystal plane of Co3O4 NPs and their synergistic interaction between N-doped because graphene helps to tune the properties of the OER electrocatalyst.
