Article Abstract
Cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a variety of properties, which have prompted researchers to explore CeO2 NPs in various applications such as biomedical, electrochemical, gas sensing and display applications. CeO2 NPs capabilities were impacted by the type of synthesis mechanism. CeO2 NPs were synthesized by solution combustion method using neem leaves extract as a reducing agent. The synthesized sample is characterized with different techniques. The Bragg reflections confirm the formation of cubic spinel structure. The surface morphology consists of agglomerated NPs. The direct energy band gap was found to be 2.9 eV. X-ray radiation absorption properties were studied within 1 keV-100GeV range. The results indicate that CeO2 NPs found to be potential in radiation applications.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the toxicity of lanthanum, yttrium, and cerium oxides on the soil organism Enchytraeus crypticus, focusing on survival, reproduction, avoidance behavior, and DNA integrity.
- The research finds that the bulk forms of LaO have more significant effects than their nanoparticle counterparts, while YO nanoparticles are more toxic overall, impacting reproduction and causing DNA damage at lower concentrations.
- Results indicate that the toxicity of rare earth element oxides varies based on the type of element, concentration, exposure duration, and form, underscoring the need for careful risk assessment for soil ecosystems affected by these substances.

Alloy nanocatalysts exhibit enhanced activity, selectivity, and stability mainly due to their versatile phases and atomic structures. However, nanocatalysts' "real" functional structures may vary from their as-synthesized status due to the structural and chemical changes during the activation and reaction conditions. Herein, we studied the activated CuPd/CeO nanocatalysts under the CO oxidation reaction featuring an atomic-scale phase separation process, resulting in a notable "hysteresis" in catalyst performance.

Cerium oxide NPs (-CeO), with notable performance in various biological tests like redox activity, free radical scavenging, and biofilm inhibition, emerge as significant candidates to address issues in related areas. In this research, copper-decorated -CeO (Cu@-CeO) were first synthesized and then characterized using advanced techniques such as SEM-EDX, XRD, XPS, BET, and ICP-OES. The biochemical properties of the obtained Cu@-CeO nanostructure and its performance in polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were thoroughly investigated in this research study.

Foam-based wound dressing materials produced by dispersing gas phases in a polymeric material are soft, adapt to the body shape, and allow the absorption of wound exudate due to their porous structure. Most of these formulations are based on synthetic substances such as polyurethane. However, biopolymers have entered the field as a new player thanks to their biocompatible and sustainable nature.
