Biomolecules and microwaves directed fabrication of Ag/CeO2 nanocomposite: a versatile candidate for the degradation of textile dye mixtures and antibacterial studies

Ultrasensitive functionalized CeO2/ZnO nanocomposite sensor for determination of a prohibited narcotic in sports pethidine hydrochloride

“…Currently, many studies are being conducted on metal oxides, including copper oxide (CuO), zinc oxide (ZnO), and cerium oxide (CeO 2 ). Cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) is also increasingly used in various industries, such as catalysis, packaging, biomedical, and sensing [ [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] ]. Recently, there has been an increased interest in the preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) with high specific surface area, thermal stability, and exceptional catalytic, conductive, and optical properties for advanced engineering and industrial applications [ 35 ].…”

Preparation and Characterization of an Antibrowning Nanosized Ag-CeO2 Composite with Synergistic Antibacterial Ability

“…There were some reports which indicated that CeO 2 could help to improve antibacterial property, reduce cytotoxicity and enhance the dispersion stability of Ag nanoparticles [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. The synthetic methods of combining silver with ceria composites have been widely explored, including impregnation, coprecipitation, green synthesis, laser ablation, wet chemical, microwave assistance and so on [ 12 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. The relationship between the structure and performance of silver–cerium oxide composites has also been studied.…”

“…The addition of the rare earth element cerium oxide was a feasible way to overcome these flaws. There were some reports which indicated that CeO 2 could help to improve antibacterial property, reduce cytotoxicity and enhance the dispersion stability of Ag nanoparticles [10][11][12][13][14]. The synthetic methods of combining silver with ceria composites have been widely explored, including impregnation, coprecipitation, green synthesis, laser ablation, wet chemical, microwave assistance and so on [12,[15][16][17][18][19].…”
