A mixture of three distinct cerium precursors (Ce(NO)·6HO, CeCl·7HO, and Ce(CHCOO)·HO) was used to prepare cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs) in a polyol-mediated synthesis. Different ratios of diethylene glycol (DEG) and HO were utilized in the synthesis. The properties of the synthesized CeO NPs, such as structural and morphological properties, were investigated to observe the effect of the mixed cerium precursors. Crystallite sizes of 7-8 nm were obtained for all samples, and all synthesized samples were confirmed to be in the cubic phase. The average particle sizes of the spherical CeO were between 9 and 13 nm. The successful synthesis of CeO can also be confirmed via the vibrational band of Ce-O from the FTIR. Antidiabetic properties of the synthesized CeO NPs were investigated using α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition assay, and the concentration of the synthesized CeO NPs was varied in the study. The biocompatibility properties of the synthesized CeO NPs were investigated via cytotoxicity tests, and it was found that all synthesized materials showed no cytotoxic properties at lower concentrations (62.5-125 μg/mL).

To enhance production efficiency, curtail costs, and minimize environmental impact, developing simple and sustainable nanozyme synthesis methods has been the focus of relevant research. In this report, graphite-coated CeO nanoparticles (CeO NPs) with multiple defects (Ce defects, oxygen vacancies and carbon defects) were synthesized the culture filtrate of the extremely radioresistant bacterium R12 ( R12). The as-prepared CeO NPs exhibit remarkable oxidase (OXD)-like activity, efficiently catalyzing the oxidation of the chromogenic substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to form oxTMB, even in the absence of HO.

To provide accurate diagnostic evidence for early hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection-related diseases, this study targeted HBV DNA as an analyte, where a sandwich-type electrochemical DNA sensor based on gold nanoparticles/reduced graphene oxide (Au NPs/ERGO) and cerium oxide/gold-platinum nanoparticles (CeO/AuPt NPs) was constructed. Au NPs/ERGO composite nanomaterials were first synthesized on the surface of a glass carbon electrode using electrochemical co-reduction, which significantly improved the specific surface area and electrical conductivity of the electrode. Further specific hybridization of target HBV-DNA was performed by combining capture probe DNA (S1-DNA) bound to AuNPs/ERGO with CeO/AuPt modified signal probe DNA (S2-DNA).
