Crystalline cerium hydroxy carbonate (CHC: Ce(OH)CO3) was prepared by a novel precipitation/digestion method at room temperature in air. The nano-sized CeO2 supports were obtained by the thermal decomposition of CHC and the Pt/CeO2 catalysts were prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation...

2,5-Dimethylfuran (DMF), which is considered as a promising new generation of alternative fuel, has the potential to relieve the global fossil fuel shortage and air pollution problems. In the last 5 years, the preparation methods, applications, and the oxidation and combustion characteristics of...
