Unusual Ceria Dispersion Formed In Confined Space: A Stable And Reusable Adsorbent For Aromatic Sulfur Capture

An unusual ceria dispersion was achieved by using the confined space between template and silica walls in as-prepared mesoporous silica, for the first time. The new adsorbents exhibit high adsorptive desulfurization activity and, more importantly, excellent stability and reusability, which is impossible to realize with conventional adsorbents.
