Enhanced sunlight photocatalytic activity and biosafety of marine-driven synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles

Abstract This contribution presents the biosynthesis, physiochemical properties, toxicity and photocatalytic activity of biogenic CeO2 NPs using, for the first time, marine oyster extract as an effective and rich source of bioreducing and capping/stabilizing agents in a one-pot recipe. CeO2 NPs form...
