title: Haloperoxidase Mimicry by CeO2-xNanorods Combats Biofouling.
abstract: CeO2-xnanorods are functional mimics of natural haloperoxidases. They catalyze the oxidative bromination of phenol red to bromophenol blue and of natural signaling molecules involved in bacterial quorum sensing. Laboratory and field tests with paint formulations containing 2 wt% of CeO2-xnanorods show a reduction in biofouling comparable to Cu2O, the most typical biocidal pigment.
