Nanoparticles owing to their size have a substantial influence on the biological behavior of collagen, thereby opening new channels to unfold the propensity of nanoparticles in terms of collagen stabilization. The present study aims to synthesize and characterize cerium oxide nanoparticles and to investigate their crosslinking efficiency on collagen. Cerium oxide nanoparticles, known biocatalysts, form an effective oxidation system due to their variable oxidation state. Ionic liquid functionalizes cerium oxide nanoparticles (IL-CONP) have been synthesis by the sonication method and characterizes using techniques such as Dynamic Light Scattering, and X-ray Diffraction. The hydrodynamic diameter, Zeta potential and polydispersity index of nanoparticles is 192.3 ± 2.14 nm, -13.76 ± 1.5 mV and 0.387, respectively. Changes in the secondary structure of collagen upon treatment with increasing concentration of IL-CONP indicate conformational modifications at the molecular level. Differential scanning calorimetry studies on rat tail tendon collagen fibers with IL-CONP indicate an increase in thermal stability of collagen from 61 to 87 °C. Thus, cerium oxide-based nanoparticle crosslinking invokes a considerable array of interest as a potential crosslinking agent for collagen.

The removal of soot particles via high-performance catalysts is a critical area of research due to the growing concern regarding air pollution. Among various potential catalysts suitable for soot oxidation, cerium oxide-based materials have shown considerable promise. In this study, CeO samples obtained using a range of preparation methods (including hydrothermal synthesis (HT), sonochemical synthesis (SC), and hard template synthesis (TS)) were tested in soot combustion.

The overuse of antibiotics has led to the severe contamination of water bodies, posing a considerable hazard to human health. Therefore, the development of an accurate and rapid point-of-care testing (POCT) platform for the quantitative detection of antibiotics is necessary. In this study, Cerium oxide (CeO) and Ferrosoferric oxide (FeO) nanoparticles were simultaneously encapsulated into N-doped nanofibrous carbon microspheres to form of a novel nanozyme (CeFe-NCMzyme) with a porous structure, high surface area, and N-doped carbon material properties, leading to a considerable enhancement of the peroxidase (POD)-like activity compared with that of the CeO or FeO nanoparticles alone.

Designing advanced materials that effectively mitigate the poor cycle life of battery-type electrodes with high specific capacities is crucial for next-generation energy storage systems. Herein, graphene oxide-ceria (GO-CeO) nanocomposite synthesized via a facile wet chemical route is explored as cathode for high-performance supercapacitors. The morphological analysis suggests fine ceria (CeO) nanoparticles dispersed over ultrathin graphene oxide (GO) sheets while structural studies reveal face-centered cubic phase of CeO in the nanocomposite.
