CeO2-B, with more oxygen vacancies, demonstrates superior photocatalytic performance compared to CeO2-A, serving as active sites for oxygen-mediated reactions and promoting the formation of H2O2 through multi-electron transfer. Furthermore, the stability of oxygen vacancies in CeO2-B allows for repeated use over 30 hours without losing activity, providing new insights into defect-engineered metal oxides for novel photocatalysts.
