Abstract: The egg shell membrane(ESM), a biological waste product, was used as a natural bio-template. Through a two-step infiltration process based on the surface chemistry and biochemistry interactions involved in organic-inorganic interface, cerium ion combined with biomembrane evenly by controlling cerous nitrate solution concentration, impregnant pH value. Hierarchical fibrous nano-porous ceria was prepared after being calcined at 550 ℃. Unique bio-morphic microstructures with interwoven networks were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM) and so on. Ceria was characterized by repetitious networks consisting of the porous hollow tubes with external diameter of about 1 μm and inner diameter of about 250 nm and the tube wall was studied with piled pores which had 1—5 nm aperture. While the concentration of acid fuchsine is 20 mg/L, catalyst amount 0.2 g/L, the reaction had a higher decoloring rate in shorter time, the decoloring rate can reach over 90% after 120 min.
