oxalate, citric acid, sucrose, ammonia, chloroauric acid, and glucose
were purchased from Beijing Chemical Regent Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China).
Standard gases of carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, ammonia,
benzene, ethanol, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide
in nitrogen were purchased from Beijing Yanan Gas Co., Ltd. (Beijing,
China). Distilled water was used throughout the whole experiment.
The micro-area composition and particle morphology of nano-Au/Nd2O3–Ca3Nd2O6 were investigated using a scanning electron microscope (JEOL-IT500)
and a TEM (JEOL-2100), respectively. The CL intensities were recorded
using an ultraweak luminescence analyzer manufactured at the Biophysics
Institute of Chinese Academy of Science (Beijing, China).
