Summary: | Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO
2
NPs) have received immense interest due to their wide application in environmental remediation, photocatalytic dye degradation, biological applications, and industrial fields. The environmental concerns and energy issues encourage the development of a green protocol to synthesize CeO
2
NPs. The greener approach proffers environment-friendly, non-toxic, economically affordable, and efficient. This review describes: (1) the plant extracts, microbes, biological product mediated synthesis of CeO
2
NPs, and the mechanism involved in manufacturing it, (2) photocatalytic dye degradation ability of CeO
2
NPs; and (3) potential biological application as an antibacterial agent, antifungal activity, antioxidant activity, antidiabetic, and anticancer property. We believe this review will provide a handy guide to the researcher interested in the biosynthesis of CeO
2
NPs and their possible applications. |
