Effect of Ag content on the nanostructure and antimicrobial activity of CeO.

The morphological and antibacterial effects of CeO nanoparticles (NPs) with different amounts of Ag precursor were studied. The samples were synthesized with different percentages of silver nitrate content by co-precipitation method. The cerium nitrate hexahydrate was a precursor of Ce reagent, polyvinylpyrrolidone as dispersant agent, and ammonium hydroxide as a precipitating agent.
