Cerium oxide nanoparticles scavenge nitric oxide radical (˙NO)

In this study we have obtained evidence that cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO(2) NPs) are able to scavenge nitric oxide radical. Surprisingly, this activity is present in CeO(2) NPs with a lower level of cerium in the 3+ state (CeO(2) NPs with low 3+/4+ ratio and therefore a reduced number of oxygen vacancies), in contrast to the superoxide scavenging properties which are correlated with an increased level of cerium in the 3+ state (CeO(2) NPs with high 3+/4+ ratio and therefore an increased number of oxygen vacancies).     

The Vital Role of Buffer Anions in the Antioxidant Activity of CeO(2) Nanoparticles

Cerium oxide (CeO(2) ) nanoparticles display excellent antioxidant properties by scavenging free radicals. However, some studies have indicated that they can cause an adverse response by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Hence, it is important to clarify the factors that affect the oxidant/antioxidant activities of CeO(2) nanoparticles. In this work, we report the effects of different buffer anions on the antioxidant activity of CeO(2) nanoparticles. Considering the main anions present in the body, Tris-HCl, sulfate, and phosphate buffer solutions have been used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of CeO(2) nanoparticles by studying their DNA protective effect. The results show that CeO(2) nanoparticles can protect DNA from damage in Tris-HCl and sulfate systems, but not in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) systems. The mechanism of action has been explored: cerium phosphate is formed on the surface of the nanoparticles, which interferes with the redox cycling between Ce(3+) and Ce(4+) . As a result, the antioxidant activity of CeO(2) nanoparticles is greatly affected by the external environment, especially the anions. These results may provide guidance for the further practical application of CeO(2) nanoparticles.

NO选择性催化还原Ce-Mn-Ti-O催化剂铈组分助催化作用

用NH3程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)、X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、H2程序升温还原(H2-TPR)和BET表面积测试结合NO选择性催化还原(SCR)微型反应评价等方法,研究了溶胶-凝胶法制备的Ce-Mn-Ti-O复合氧化物催化剂中铈组分的助催化作用.结果表明随铈含量增加,NO转化率大幅度增加,在Ce/Mn摩尔比约0.08时达极大值,其后随铈含量进一步增加,NO转化率又逐渐下降.适量铈组分的加入对Mn-Ti-O催化剂表面酸性影响不大,但增加了催化剂活性组分Mn物种的表面浓度,提高了Mn4+物种的相对含量和Mn物种的可还原性,从而提高催化剂低温SCR活性.当Ce/Mn摩尔比超过0.08,催化剂表面的Mn组分与Ce组分可能形成无定型结构的多层聚集的Ce-O-Mn物种,导致催化剂Mn/Ti摩尔比下降和Mn物种可还原性下降,从而导致催化剂SCR活性的下降.     

On the interaction of Mg with the (111) and (110) surfaces of ceria

The catalytic activity of cerium dioxide can be modified by deposition of alkaline earth oxide layers or nanoparticles or by substitutional doping of metal cations at the Ce site in ceria. In order to understand the effect of Mg oxide deposition and doping, a combination of experiment and first principles simulations is a powerful tool. In this paper, we examine the interaction of Mg with the ceria (111) surface using both angle resolved X-ray (ARXPS) and resonant (RPES) photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory (DFT) corrected for on-site Coulomb interactions (DFT + U). With DFT + U, we also examine the interaction of Mg with the ceria (110) surface. The experiments show that upon deposition of Mg, Ce ions are reduced to Ce(3+), while Mg is oxidised. When Mg is incorporated into ceria, no reduced Ce(3+) ions are found and oxygen vacancies are present. The DFT + U simulations show that each Mg that is introduced leads to formation of two reduced Ce(3+) ions. When Mg is incorporated at a Ce site in the (111) surface, one oxygen vacancy is formed for each Mg to compensate the different valencies, so that all Ce ions are oxidised. The behaviour of Mg upon interaction with the (110) surface is the same as with the (111) surface. The combined results provide a basis for deeper insights into the catalytic behaviour of ceria-based mixed oxide catalysts.     

Zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized using Oldenlandia Umbellata leaf extract and their photocatalytic and biological characteristics

The aim of this study was to examine the environmentally friendly green production of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) utilizing Oldenlandia Umbellata (OU) leaves extract, as well as to study the photo catalytic and biological activities of these particles. XRD, UV-Visible, FT-IR, SEM, EDAX, TEM and Zeta potential studies were used to investigate the purity and properties of as synthesized ZnO NPs. From the FT-IR investigations presenting functional groups were verified. The hexagonal form and wurtzite crystal nature were confirmed by SEM and XRD photographs. The decreasing zeta potential of ?23.7 mV suggested the stability of OU-ZnO NPs, which was validated by Zeta potential and EDAX measurements. The OU-ZnO NPs' photo catalytic activity was also examined using their methylene red dye degradation potential. It also has a DPPH test that revealed it had a 66% radical scavenging activity. Furthermore, this substance was proven to be an effective anti-fungal agent against Candida albicans, which demonstrated a maximum mycelial inhibition of 12.5 ± 0.7. Additionally, the biosynthesized nanoparticles had high antibacterial activity verses all of the microbiological strains tested to varying degrees.

Manganese‐Doped Highly Ordered Mesoporous Silicate with High Efficiency for Oxidation Suppression

Herein, we demonstrate a facile approach to manganese‐doped highly ordered mesoporous silicate with oxidation‐suppression function. As biocompatible supports of guest ions, the ordered mesoporous silicate was synthesized by evaporation‐induced self‐assembly. The phase‐transition from disordered to lamellar structures in the highly ordered mesoporous structure of these porosity‐tuned materials was controlled by adjusting the concentration of a lab‐made polystyrene‐b‐polyethylene oxide copolymer. Manganese was successfully incorporated as a guest in the hexagonally packed mesoporous silicate by using an ultrasound‐assisted technique. The incorporation of manganese ions into the pores of a mesoporous silicate support could be induced for host–guest functional applications. Manganese‐doped mesoporous silicate structures have been examined for their use as antioxidizing agents by electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements and radical‐scavenging tests. The manganese atoms in the mesoporous structures could act in a free‐radical‐scavenging capacity, much like manganese nanoparticles. The high efficiency of their oxidation‐suppression function is extended for application to catalytic products.     

Antimicrobial Treatment of Different Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: A Critical Review

Many nanomaterials can be used as metal oxides (Ti, Ag, Zn, Cu, Mg, Ca, Ce, Yt, Al). Metal oxide nanoparticles have strong antimicrobial properties. The oxides that play a large role as antimicrobial agents can be divided into two major groups based on their mechanism of action i.e., those that involve oxidation and those that inhibit the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Previous studies have shown that, toxic metals like silver and titanium, and their metals oxides, employ the ROS‐mediated mechanism that leads to oxidative stress‐related cytotoxicity, cancer, and heart diseases. Oxidative stress further leads to increased ROS production and also delays the cellular processes involved in wound heal‐ ing. Other metal oxide nanoparticles, like Y₂O₃, CeO₂ and Al₂O₃ act as free radical scavengers. Out of these, aluminium oxide nanoparticles are more effective antimicrobial agents, than the other metal oxide nanoparticles. A combination of Al₂O₃ and other antimicrobial agents such as TiO₂ may act as ideal antimicrobial agents, along with possessing free radical scavenging activity. This critical review aims to study the antimicrobial properties of different metal oxide nanoparticles and the mechanism of action in‐ volved, besides comparing their efficacy to eliminate bacteria.
