Recent advances in biological, photocatalytic and adsorption applications of biosynthesized CeO₂ nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂-NPs) have garnered significant interest due to their unique properties as well as a wide range of applications in the environmental and biomedical fields. This work examines the recent advances in the production of CeO₂-NPs using various biological agents, including plant extracts and biosources, as sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional synthetic routes. The formation mechanisms, structural characteristics, and influence of factors on the synthesis of CeO₂-NPs were discussed. We found that most CeO₂-NPs possessed spherical shapes, small particle sizes (10-100 nm), and large surface areas (12-100 m² g^-1). Bio-mediated CeO₂-NPs and their composites had diverse bio
