Development of cerium oxide nanoparticles and its cytotoxicity in prostate cancer cells
Cerium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal and hydrolysis methods. Cerous (4+ oxide nanoparticles was produced by hydrothermal method and ceric (3+ oxide nanoparticles were produced by hydrolysis method. The different synthesis routes adopted helped in synthesizing nanoparticles of similar size but exhibiting different properties. Detailed characterization of the nanoparticles proved that the synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles were different in their stoichiometry. The selective toxicity of cerium oxide ...
