This present study has been described the synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activity of gadolinium doped cerium oxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal method with various concentrations of gadolinium ranges from 2 mol% to 8 mol%. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed the face-centered cubic structure with crystalline size of 58.3 nm to 57.4 nm wi...

The present paper demonstrates that inorganic ceria (CeO2) nanoparticles effectively inhibit anomalous oxidative damage of DNA induced by ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. To utilize the CeO2 nanoparticles for the protection test of DNA, a colloidal solution of monodispersed and crystallized CeO2 nanoparticles is synthesized through a photochemical reaction of Ce(NO3)3 solution, followed by d...

The severe inflammation observed during sepsis is thought to cause diaphragm dysfunction, which is associated with poor patient prognosis. Cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles have been posited to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities suggesting that these particles may be of potential use for the treatment of inflammatory disorders. To investigate this possibility, Sprague Dawley...

Ceria (CeO2 ) supports are unique in their ability to trap ionic platinum (Pt), providing exceptional stability for isolated single atoms of Pt. The reactivity and stability of single-atom Pt species was explored for the industrially important light alkane dehydrogenation reaction. The single-atom Pt/CeO2 catalysts are stable during propane dehydrogenation, but are not selective for propylene. ...

The use of CeO2 and CeO2-containing materials as a component of heterogeneous industrial catalysts or as a support for transition metals is based on superior chemical and physical stability, high oxygen mobility and high oxygen vacancy concentrations, which are characteristic for the fluorite-type oxides (economically and technologically most important application is the use of ceria in the thr...

Cerium dioxide (CeO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles are of widespread use in modern life. This means that human beings are markedly exposed to them in their everyday life. Once passing biological barriers, these nanoparticles are expected to interact with endothelial cells, leading to systemic alterations with distinct influences on human health. In the present study we observed the ...

Atomic surface structures of CeO2 nanoparticles are under debate owing to the lack of clear experimental determination of the oxygen atom positions. In this study, with oxygen atoms clearly observed using aberration-corrected high-resolution electron microscopy, we determined the atomic structures of the (100), (110), and (111) surfaces of CeO2 nanocubes. The predominantly exposed (100) surface...

A dipole polarizable potential for reduced and doped CeO2 obtained from first principles. The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. In this paper we present the parameterization of a new interionic potential for stoichiometric, reduced and doped CeO2. We use a dipole-polarizable potential (DIPPIM) and optimize its para...
