Article Abstract
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.

The exceptional performance of ceria (CeO) in catalysis and energy conversion is fundamentally governed by its defect chemistry, particularly oxygen vacancies. The formation of each oxygen vacancy (V) is assumed to be compensated by two localized electrons on cations (Ce). Here, we show by combining theory with experiment that while this 1 V: 2Ce ratio accounts for the global charge compensation, it does not apply at the local scale, particularly in nanoparticles.

ConspectusHydrogen spillover, the simultaneous diffusion of protons and electrons, has recently emerged as a key phenomenon in the functionalization of hydrogen in cutting-edge research fields. Its occurrence has been found to significantly impact hydrogen-related fields of science, such as catalysis, reduction, and hydrogen storage. Since the discovery of hydrogen spillover more than half a century ago, although many scientists have reported its unique properties and have attempted to utilize them, no practical advanced applications have been established yet.

The incorporation of nanomaterials into smart flexible interfaces is a developing requirement for real-time diagnostics applications. In this work, we report a novel optical fabric-based sensor for the analysis of glucose and hydrogen peroxide (HO), addressing critical needs of healthcare, industrial safety, and environmental analysis. In contrast to traditional rigid substrates, we utilized cotton fabric as a porous and flexible sensing platform, immobilizing cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂-NPs) using hydrogel.

A dual-mode aptasensor was engineered for aflatoxin B (AFB) detection by functional integration of peroxidase-mimetic Au@CeO core-shell nanostructures with emissive carbon dots (CDs). The Au@CeO nanocomposite, synthesized via spontaneous redox reaction, exhibited enhanced peroxidase-like activity due to abundant Ce/oxygen vacancies facilitating hydroxyl radical generation. The aptasensor utilizes a competitive binding mechanism, where AFB competed with immobilized Au@CeO-CDs-Apt1 probes for binding sites, resulting in inversely proportional colorimetric and fluorescent signals.
