چکیده
در میان اکسیدهای فلزی، اکسید سریم (CeO2) یکی‌از امیدوارکننده‌ترین مواد کاتالیزوری برای تبدیل‌های شیمیایی و عمدتاً برای کاربردهای زیستمحیطی و سامانه­های تبدیل انرژی است. اما نانوذرات اکسید سریم تمایلبه تجمع و کلوخه‌شدن دارد و استفادۀ راحت از آن در محلول­ها تا اندازه­ای می­تواند محدود شود. هم‌چنین، به‌دلیل شکاف انرژی پهن آن، میزان بهره­مندی از انرژی رایگان خورشید به‌طور کارامدتر در تخریب فوتوکاتالیستی آلاینده­ها، محدود میشود. لذا، برای بهبود خواص اکسید سریم، مانند: رسانایی برای کاربردهای فوتوکاتالیستی، الکتروشیمیایی و غیره، راه‌کار مؤثر ادغام آن با نانوساختارهای کربنی پیشنهادشده‌است. در این مقالۀ مروری، به بررسی ویژگیها و برخی مطالعات اخیراً انجامشده برروی نانوهیبریدهای اکسید سریم برپایۀ مواد کربنی متداول، همچون: گرافن، نانولوله‌های کربنی، نیترید کربن گرافیتی پرداختهمی‌شود. مطالعات نشان‌داد که ادغام اکسید سریم با نانوساختارهای کربنی، باتوجه‌به هم افزایی دو فاز می­تواند به‌طور قابل توجهی به بهبود خواص و عملکرد فوتوکاتالیستی منجرشود. ادغام نانومواد کربنی با نانوذرات اکسید سریم ازراه جاذبۀ الکترواستاتیک، می­تواند باعث پخش و توزیع مطلوب CeO2 برروی سطح نانومواد کربنی شود و درنتیجه، می­تواند با کاهش مؤثر نرخ نوترکیبی و بهبود مناسب جدایی بار، در تقویت عملکرد فوتوکاتالیستی نقش مثبتی را ایفاکند.

چکیده English

Among metal oxides, cerium oxide (CeO2) is one of the most promising catalytic materials for chemical transformations, mainly for environmental applications and energy conversion systems. However, cerium oxide nanoparticles tend to aggregate and agglomerate, and their convenient use in solutions can be somewhat limited. Also, due to their wide energy gap, the utilization of free solar energy more efficiently in
the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants is limited. Therefore, in order to improve the properties of cerium oxide such as conductivity for photocatalytic, electrochemical, etc. applications, an effective solution has been presented to integrate it with carbon nanostructures. In this review article, the properties and some recent studies on cerium oxide nanohybrids based on common carbon materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and graphitic carbon nitride are discussed. Studies have demonstrated that the incorporation of cerium oxide with carbon nanostructures, owing to the synergy of the two phases, can significantly improve the photocatalytic properties and performance.
The incorporation of carbon nanomaterials with cerium oxide nanoparticles through electrostatic attraction can cause the favorable dispersion and distribution of CeO2 on the surface of carbon nanomaterials, and as a result, it can play a positive role in enhancing the photocatalytic performance by effectively reducing the recombination rate and improving the charge separation.
