CeO(2) nanotubes have been synthesized with a simple solid-liquid interface reaction route in the absence of any surfactants. Although the basic reaction principles are similar, two kinds of nanotubes with completely different morphologies and structures can be generated by slightly tuning the postprocessing conditions. The first formation involves employing Ce(OH)CO(3) nanorods as both the physical and chemical templates, and the other requires layered Ce(OH)3 as an anisotropic intermediate species. During this process, NaOH and reaction temperature were demonstrated as the key factors responsible for the formation of Ce(OH)(3) intermediate and final CeO(2) nanotubes with well-defined structures. The structural details were provided by a combination of XRD, SEM, TEM, and HRTEM investigations. Catalytic measurement shows that both nanotubes are very active for CO oxidation, and at 250 degrees C, the conversion rates of CeO(2) nanotubes are 3 times higher than that of the bulk counterpart.

Background: Since the incidence of breast cancer ranks first among female malignant tumors, early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer are crucial to women's health. Therefore, the detection and monitoring of breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA1) is particularly important. In this paper, an electrochemical biosensor was developed to detect BRCA1 based on MOF-derived CeO@CuS nanosheets with efficient electrocatalytic activity of HO reduction.

Dye-loaded effluents are often discharged into water reservoirs without any treatment, posing a significant threat to the sustainability of the environment and public health. Hence, it is imperative that researchers explore methods to effectively detect and eliminate dyes from waterways and suggest tangible solutions.

We investigated the biokinetics of poorly soluble nanomaterials carbon black, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), cerium oxide (CeO), titanium dioxide (TiO), crystalline silica (SiO) in inhalation studies in rodents (the soluble amorphous silica was also included). By reviewing research papers on the inhalation of these substances, we collected physico-chemical data and elemental distribution to organs, urine, and feces.

The field of nanotechnology has experienced exponential growth, with the unique properties of nanomaterials (NMs) being employed to enhance a wide range of products across diverse industrial sectors. This study examines the toxicity of metal- and carbon-based NMs, with a particular focus on titanium dioxide (TiO), zinc oxide (ZnO), silica (SiO), cerium oxide (CeO), silver (Ag), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The potential health risks associated with increased human exposure to these NMs and their effect on the respiratory, gastrointestinal, dermal, and immune systems were evaluated using in vitro assays.
