The diverse abilities of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) have encouraged researchers to pursue CONPs as a therapeutic agent to treat a number of diseases, including cancer. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown CONPs to be toxic to cancer cells, inhibit invasion, and sensitize cancer cells to radiation therapy. However, CONPs display minimal toxicity to normal tissues and provide protectio...

The effect of Cerium and Cobalt substitution in Zinc ferrites with respect to their electrical and magnetic properties has been investigated in this paper. The nanoparticles of Zn1-x-y Cex Coy Fe2O4 ( x = 0.012, 0014, 0.016, 0.018; y = 0.01, 0.001, 0014, 0.016) is prepared by sol gel route and sintered in a microwave furnace. The nano size, structure and composition of Ce-Co doped Zinc ferrite ...

Introduction: Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) are used as radiation protection agent in the in-vivo and in-vitro studies. The distribution stability of nano-suspension is one of the important factors during the studies. The aim of this study is optimization of condition for CONPs dispersion with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS-anionic surfactant) and tween 20 (nonionic surfactan...

The demand for new, thermally conducting light weight and anti-corrosive materials is tried by incorporating Copper Oxide (CuO) nano powder in polyethylene matrix material. A laboratory level electro deposition technique is adopted here to prepare Copper Oxide (CuO) nano particles. Their phase composition is confirmed with X-Ray diffraction peaks and verified with standard JCPDS file for Copper...

to study the effects of nano-zinc oxide and seed inoculation with brady rhizobium and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on yield and some agronomic traits of soybean, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in 2013 at the research farm of the islamic azad university, ardabil branch. treatments were foliar application of nano-zinc...

High-throughput continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis has been used as a rapid and efficient synthetic route to produce a range of crystalline nanopowders in the Ce-Zn oxide binary system. High-resolution powder X-ray diffraction data were obtained for both as-prepared and heat-treated (850 degrees C for 10 h in air) samples using the new robotic beamline I11, located at Diamond Light Source. ...

A series of the mixed oxides iron and cerium, with an iron(III) oxide content ranging from 0 wt% to 100 were tested as oxygen carriers in chemical looping dry reforming methane (CL-DRM). The reactivity during CL-DRM significantly increased when cerium are forming a oxide. By careful control Fe2O3/CeO2 mass ratio, initial oxidation state reaction time activity carrier material can be adjusted so...

silicon has useful effects on growth and yield of many plants. the aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of nano silicon oxide on proliferation and improvement of some growth traits of apple, cultivar gala. thus, an experiment was designed based on completely randomized design (crd) with five levels of nano silicon oxide concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100 & 200 ppm) in five replicat...

Intra-granular Acicular Ferrite (IAF), as one of the most well-known desirable microstructure of ferrite with a chaotic crystallographic orientation, can not only refine the microstructure and retard the propagation of cleavage crack but also provide excellent combination of strength and toughness in steel. The effect of adding cerium on microstructure and controlling proper cerium-based inclus...
