Abstract
Described are methods of dephosphorylation. Methods of dephosphorylation include contacting a phosphate containing substrate with one or more CeO2 nanocrystal. Also described is modifying the pH of the dephosphorylation reaction to affect the amount and rate of dephosphorylation. Further described are methods of making CeO2 nanocrystals of the present disclosure.
Claims19
A method to catalyze a dephosphorylation reaction, comprising:
- contacting a CeO2 nanocrystal with a phosphate containing substrate to form a reaction mixture;
- and
- incubating the reaction mixture for a period of time;
- wherein after the period of time, the phosphate containing substrate is converted into a dephosphorylated product.
1 more element
A method to recycle a used catalyst comprising:
- suspending a used catalyst comprising CeO2 nanocrystals in a solution;
- and
- modulating the solution and the used catalyst such that the used catalyst re-disperses into the solution.
