Abstract
Exploring new and high efficiency mimic enzymes is a vital and novel strategy for antibacterial application. Haloperoxidase-like enzymes have attracted wide attention thanks to their amazing catalytic property for hypohalous acid generation from hydrogen peroxide and halides. However, few materials have displayed halogenating catalytic performance until now. Herein, we synthesized N-doped C/CeO2 (N-C/CeO2) composite materials by a combination of the liquid and solid-state method. N-C/CeO2 can possess haloperoxidase-like catalytic activity by catalyzing the bromination of organic signaling compounds (phenol red) with H2O2 at a wide range of temperatures (20 °C to 55 °C), with a solution color changing from yellow to blue. Meanwhile, it exhibits high catalytic stability/recyclability in the catalytic reaction. The synthesized N-C/CeO2 composite can effectively catalyze the oxidation of Br- with H2O2 to produce HBrO without the presence of phenol red. The produced HBrO can resist typical marine bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study provides an efficient biomimetic haloperoxidase and a novel sustainable method for antibacterial application.

Abstract
The emergence of X-ray-induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) holds tremendous promise for clinical deep-penetrating cancer therapy. However, the clinical application of X-PDT in cancer treatment is still limited due to the hypoxic property of cancerous tissue, the inherent antioxidant system of tumor cells, and the difficulty in matching the absorption spectra of photosensitizers. Herein, a versatile core-shell radiosensitizer (SCNPs@DMSN@CeOx-PEG, denoted as SSCP) was elaborately designed and constructed to enhance X-PDT by coating tunable mesoporous silica on nanoscintillators, followed by embedding the cerium oxide nanoparticles in situ. The obtained SSCP radiosensitizer demonstrated a distinct blue-shift in the ultraviolet light region, so that it could perfectly absorb the ultraviolet light converted by the SCNPs core, resulting in the formation of photoinduced electron-hole (e--h+) pairs separation to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, the cerium oxide exhibits high glutathione consumption to heighten ROS accumulation, and catalase-like activity to alleviate the hypoxia, which further enhances the efficiency of radiotherapy. Benefiting from the abundant Lu and Ce elements, the computed tomography imaging performance of SSCP is about 3.79-fold that of the clinical contrast agent (iohexol), which has great potential in both preclinical imaging and clinical translation.

Abstract
Nanozymes are artificial enzymes with high catalytic activity, low cost, and good biocompatibility, and have received ever-increasing attention in recent years. Various inorganic and organic nanoparticles have been found to exhibit enzyme-like activities and are used as nanozymes for diverse biomedical applications ranging from tumor imaging and therapeutics to detection. However, their further clinical applications are hindered by the potential toxicity and long-term retention of nanomaterials in vivo. Clarifying the catalytic mechanism of nanozymes and identifying the key factors responsible for their behavior can guide the design of nanozyme structure, enlighten the ways to improve their enzyme-like activities, and minimize the dosage of nanozymes, leading to reduced toxicity to the human body for a real biomedical application prospect. In particular, inflammation occurring in numerous diseases is closely related to reactive oxygen species, and the active oxygen scavenging ability of nanozymes potentially exerts excellent therapeutic effects on inflammatory diseases. In this review, we systematically summarize the structure-activity relationship of nanozymes, including regulation strategies for size and morphology, surface structure, and composition. Based on the structure-activity mechanisms, a series of chemically designed nanozymes developed to target various inflammatory diseases are briefly summarized.

Abstract
Background Clinicians frequently face difficulties when trying to fix bone abnormalities. Gelatin-Alginate (GA) is frequently employed as a carrier because it is non-toxic, biodegradable, and has a three-dimensional network structure. Meanwhile, cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) demonstrated high antioxidant enzyme simulation activity. Therefore, in order to develop a porous hydrogel scaffold for the application of bone tissue engineering, an appropriate-type GA-nCeO2 hydrogel scaffold was developed and evaluated. Methods GA-nCeO2 hydrogel scaffold was prepared by the lyophilized method and characterized. The surface morphology and cell adhesion of the scaffold were observed by the scanning electron microscope. CCK8 and live-dead staining methods were used to evaluate its biological safety and cell proliferation. Then the osteogenic differentiation in early and late stages was discussed. The expression of osteogenic genes was also detected by RT-PCR. Finally, a bone defect model was made in SD rats, and bone formation in vivo was detected. Results The results showed that GA-nCeO2 hydrogel scaffold exhibited a typical three-dimensional porous structure with a mean pore ratio of 70.61 ± 1.94%. The GA-nCeO2 hydrogel was successfully endowed with simulated enzyme activity including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) after the addition of nCeO2. Osteoblasts demonstrated superior cell proliferation and adhesion on composite scaffolds, and both mineralization test and gene expression demonstrated the strong osteogenic potential of GA-nCeO2 hydrogel. The outcomes of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and Masson trichrome staining in the femoral defect model of SD rats further supported the scaffold's favorable biocompatibility and bone-promoting capacity. Conclusion Due to its favorable safety, degradability, and bone formation property, GA-nCeO2 hydrogel was anticipated to be used as a potential bone defect healing material.

Abstract
Nanoceria has evolved as a promising nanomaterial due to its unique enzyme-like properties, including excellent oxidase mimetic activity, which significantly increases in the presence of fluoride ions. However, this significant increase in oxidase activity has never been utilised as a signal enhancer for the detection of biological analytes partly because of the lack of understanding of the mechanism involved in this process. In this study, we show that the surface oxidation state of cerium ions plays a very crucial role in different enzymatic activities, especially the oxidase mimetic activity by engineering nanoceria with three different surface Ce4+/Ce3+ compositions. Using DFT calculations combined with Bader charge analysis, it is demonstrated that stoichiometric ceria registers a higher oxidase mimetic activity than oxygen-deficient ceria with a low Ce4+/Ce3+ ratio due to a higher charge transfer from a substrate, 3,3',5,5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), to the ceria surface. We also show that the fluoride ions can significantly increase the charge transfer from the TMB surface to ceria irrespective of the surface Ce4+/Ce3+ ratio. Using this knowledge, we first compare the fluoride sensing properties of nanoceria with high Ce4+ and mixed Ce4+/Ce3+ oxidation states and further demonstrate that the linear detection range of fluoride ions can be extended to 1-10 ppm for nanoceria with mixed oxidation states. Then, we also demonstrate an assay for fluoride assisted detection of glutathione, an antioxidant with elevated levels during cancer, using nanoceria with a high surface Ce4+/Ce3+ ratio. The addition of fluoride ions in this assay allows the detection of glutathione in the linear range of 2.5-50 ppm with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.8 ppm. These studies not only underpin the role of the surface Ce4+/Ce3+ ratio in tuning the fluoride assisted boost in the oxidase mimetic activity of nanoceria but also its strategic application in designing better colourimetric assays.

Abstract
The development of nanomaterials that mimic the activity of enzymes is a topic of interest, for the decomposition of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We report the preparation of a novel nanocomposite of MnOx needles covered with SiO2 porous material. The material was prepared in one pot with a two-step procedure. The material was characterized by EDX, SEM, TEM, XRD, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and XPS. The synthesis protocol took advantage of the atrane method, favoring the nucleation and initial growth of manganese oxide needles that remained embedded and homogeneously dispersed in a mesoporous silica matrix. The final composite had a high concentration of Mn (Si/Mn molar ratio of ca. 1). The nanozyme presented bimodal porosity: intraparticle and interparticle association with the surfactant micelles and the gaps between silica particles and MnOx needles, respectively. The porosity favored the migration of the reagent to the surface of the catalytic MnOx. The nanozyme showed very efficient SOD and catalase activities, thus improving other materials previously described. The kinetics were studied in detail, and the reaction mechanisms were proposed. It was shown that silica does not play an innocent role in the case of catalase activity, increasing the reaction rate.

Abstract
The field of nanozymes has developed rapidly over the past decade. Among various oxidoreductases mimics, catalase (CAT)-like nanozyme, acting as an essential part of the regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), has attracted extensive research interest in recent years. However, CAT-like nanozymes are not as well discussed as other nanozymes such as peroxidase (POD)-like nanozymes, etc. Compared with natural catalase or artificial CAT enzymes, CAT-like nanozymes have unique properties of low cost, size-dependent properties, high catalytic activity and stability, and easy surface modification, etc., which make them widely used in various fields, especially in tumor therapy and disease treatment. Consequently, there is a great requirement to make a systematic discussion on CAT-like nanozymes. In this review, some key aspects of CAT-like nanozymes are deeply summarized as: 1) Typical CAT-like nanozymes classified by different nanomaterials; 2) The catalytic mechanisms proposed by experimental and theoretical studies; 3) Extensive applications in regard to tumor therapy, cytoprotection and sensing. Therefore, it is prospected that this review will contribute to the further design of CAT-like nanozymes and optimize their applications with much higher efficiency than before.

Abstract
Arthritis is a group of highly prevalent joint disorders, and osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common types. The high prevalence of arthritis causes severe burdens on individuals, society and the economy. Currently, the primary treatment of arthritis is to relieve symptoms, but the development of arthritis cannot be effectively prevented. Studies have revealed that the disrupted balance of enzymes determines the pathological changes in arthritis. In particular, the increased levels of matrix metalloproteinases and the decreased expression of endogenous antioxidant enzymes promote the progression of arthritis. New therapeutic strategies have been developed based on the expression characteristics of these enzymes. Biomaterials have been designed that are responsive when the destructive enzymes MMPs are increased or have the activities of the antioxidant enzymes that play a protective role in arthritis. Here, we summarize recent studies on biomaterials associated with MMPs and antioxidant enzymes involved in the pathological process of arthritis. These enzyme-related biomaterials have been shown to be beneficial for arthritis treatment, but there are still some problems that need to be solved to improve efficacy, especially penetrating the deeper layer of articular cartilage and targeting osteoclasts in subchondral bone. In conclusion, enzyme-related nano-therapy is challenging and promising for arthritis treatment.

Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles with Entrapped Gadolinium for High T 1 Relaxivity and ROS-Scavenging Purposes. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:21337-21345.

Abstract
Gadolinium chelates are employed worldwide today as clinical contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. Until now, the commonly used linear contrast agents based on the rare-earth element gadolinium have been considered safe and well-tolerated. Recently, concerns regarding this type of contrast agent have been reported, which is why there is an urgent need to develop the next generation of stable contrast agents with enhanced spin-lattice relaxation, as measured by improved T 1 relaxivity at lower doses. Here, we show that by the integration of gadolinium ions in cerium oxide nanoparticles, a stable crystalline 5 nm sized nanoparticulate system with a homogeneous gadolinium ion distribution is obtained. These cerium oxide nanoparticles with entrapped gadolinium deliver strong T 1 relaxivity per gadolinium ion (T 1 relaxivity, r 1 = 12.0 mM-1 s-1) with the potential to act as scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The presence of Ce3+ sites and oxygen vacancies at the surface plays a critical role in providing the antioxidant properties. The characterization of radial distribution of Ce3+ and Ce4+ oxidation states indicated a higher concentration of Ce3+ at the nanoparticle surfaces. Additionally, we investigated the ROS-scavenging capabilities of pure gadolinium-containing cerium oxide nanoparticles by bioluminescent imaging in vivo, where inhibitory effects on ROS activity are shown.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) injury, induced by ischemic/hemorrhagic or traumatic damage, is one of the most common causes of death and long-term disability worldwide. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) resulting in oxidative/nitrosative stress play a critical role in the pathological cascade of molecular events after CNS injury. Therefore, by targeting RONS, antioxidant therapies have been intensively explored in previous studies. However, traditional antioxidants have achieved limited success thus far, and the development of new antioxidants to achieve highly effective RONS modulation in CNS injury still remains a great challenge. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, novel nanomaterials provided promising opportunities to address this challenge. Within these, nanoceria has gained much attention due to its regenerative and excellent RONS elimination capability. To promote its practical application, it is important to know what has been done and what has yet to be done. This review aims to present the opportunities and challenges of nanoceria in treating CNS injury. The physicochemical properties of nanoceria and its interaction with RONS are described. The applications of nanoceria for stroke and neurotrauma treatment are summarized. The possible directions for future application of nanoceria in CNS injury treatment are proposed.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is known to be associated with a number of degenerative diseases. A better knowledge of the interplay between oxidative stress and amyloidogenesis is crucial for the understanding of both, aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs, nanoceria) due to their remarkable properties are perspective nanomaterials in the study of the processes accompanying oxidative-stress-related diseases, including amyloid-related pathologies. In the present work, we analyze the effects of CeO2 NPs of different sizes and Ce4+/Ce3+ ratios on the fibrillogenesis of insulin, SOD-like enzymatic activity, oxidative stress, biocompatibility, and cell metabolic activity. CeO2 NPs (marked as Ce1–Ce5) with controlled physical–chemical parameters, such as different sizes and various Ce4+/Ce3+ ratios, are synthesized by precipitation in water–alcohol solutions. All synthesized NPs are monodispersed and exhibit good stability in aqueous suspensions. ThT and ANS fluorescence assays and AFM are applied to monitor the insulin amyloid aggregation and antiamyloid aggregation activity of CeO2 NPs. The analyzed Ce1–Ce5 nanoparticles strongly inhibit the formation of insulin amyloid aggregates in vitro. The bioactivity is analyzed using SOD and MTT assays, Western blot, fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry. The antioxidative effects and bioactivity of nanoparticles are size- or valence-dependent. CeO2 NPs show great potential benefits for studying the interplay between oxidative stress and amyloid-related diseases, and can be used for verification of the role of oxidative stress in amyloid-related diseases.

Abstract
Marine organisms combat bacterial colonization by biohalogenation of signaling compounds that interfere with bacterial communication. These reactions are catalyzed by haloperoxidase enzymes, whose activity can be emulated by nanoceria using milli- and micromolar concentrations of Br- and H2O2. We show that the haloperoxidase-like activity of nanoceria can greatly be enhanced by Ln substitution in Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2. Non-agglomerated nanosized Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2 (Ln = Pr, Tb, particle size < 10 nm) was prepared mechanochemically from CeCl3 and Na2CO3 followed by short calcination. Lanthanide metals could be incorporated into the CeO2 host without solubility limit, as shown for Tb. The distribution of the Ln3+ defect sites in the CeO2 host structure was analyzed by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Ce3+ and superoxide O2- species are present at surface sites. Their formation is promoted by increasing dopant concentration. Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2 was prepared in copious amounts by ball-milling. This energy-saving and residue-free method can be upscaled to industrial scale. The surface defect chemistry of Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2 was unravelled by vibrational spectroscopy. It is associated with the mechanochemical preparation and leads to enhanced catalytic activity. Although Ce0.9Pr0.1O1.95 had a lower BET surface area than pure CeO2, its catalytic activity, calibrated by oxidative bromination of phenol red, was much higher because the ζ-potential increased from 15 mV (for CeO2) to 30 mV (for Ce0.9Pr0.1O1.95). This facilitates adsorption of Br- in aqueous conditions and explains the high catalytic activity of the Ln-substituted CeO2. Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2 is an effective and "green" nanoparticle haloperoxidase mimic for antifouling applications, as no chemicals other than the ubiquitous Br- and H2O2 (generated in daylight) are required, and only natural metabolites are released into the environment.

Abstract
Ceria nanoparticles (NPs) are widely reported to scavenge nitric oxide (NO) radicals. This study reveals evidence that an opposite effect of ceria NPs exists, that is, to induce NO generation. Herein, S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), one of the most biologically abundant NO donors, is catalytically decomposed by ceria NPs to produce NO. Ceria NPs maintain a high NO release recovery rate and retain their crystalline structure for at least 4 weeks. Importantly, the mechanism of this newly discovered NO generation capability of ceria NPs from GSNO is deciphered to be attributed to the oxidation of Ce3+ to Ce4+ on their surface, which is supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory analysis. The prospective therapeutic effect of NO-generating ceria NPs is evaluated by the suppression of cancer cells, displaying a significant reduction of 93% in cell viability. Overall, this report is, to the authors' knowledge, the first study to identify the capability of ceria NPs to induce NO generation from GSNO, which overturns the conventional concept of them acting solely as a NO-scavenging agent. This study will deepen our knowledge about the therapeutic effects of ceria NPs and open a new route toward the NO-generating systems for biomedical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, nanozymes based on two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have been receiving great interest for cancer photothermal therapy. 2D materials decorated with nanoparticles (NPs) on their surface are advantageous over conventional NPs and 2D material based systems because of their ability to synergistically improve the unique properties of both NPs and 2D materials. In this work, we report a nanozyme based on flower-like MoS2nanoflakes (NFs) by decorating their flower petals with NCeO2using polyethylenimine (PEI) as a linker molecule. A detailed investigation on toxicity, biocompatibility and degradation behavior of fabricated nanozymes in wild-typeDrosophila melanogastermodel revealed that there were no significant effects on the larval size, morphology, larval length, breadth and no time delay in changing larvae to the third instar stage at 7-10 d for MoS2NFs before and after NCeO2decoration. The muscle contraction and locomotion behavior of third instar larvae exhibited high distance coverage for NCeO2decorated MoS2NFs when compared to bare MoS2NFs and control groups. Notably, the MoS2and NCeO2-PEI-MoS2NFs treated groups at 100μg ml-1covered a distance of 38.2 mm (19.4% increase when compared with control) and 49.88 mm (no change when compared with control), respectively. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy investigations on the new born fly gut showed that the NCeO2decoration improved the degradation rate of MoS2NFs. Hence, nanozymes reported here have huge potential in various fields ranging from biosensing, cancer therapy and theranostics to tissue engineering and the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and retinal therapy.

Abstract
Clinical applications of nanozyme-initiated chemodynamic therapy (NCDT) have been severely limited by the poor catalytic efficiency of nanozymes, insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) content, and its off-target consumption. Herein, the authors developed a hollow mesoporous Mn/Zr-co-doped CeO2 tandem nanozyme (PHMZCO-AT) with regulated multi-enzymatic activities, that is, the enhancement of superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like and peroxidase (POD)-like activities and inhibition of catalase (CAT)-like activity. PHMZCO-AT as a H2 O2 homeostasis disruptor promotes H2 O2 evolution and restrains off-target elimination of H2 O2 to achieve intensive NCDT. PHMZCO-AT with SOD-like activity catalyzes endogenous superoxide anion (O2 •- ) into H2 O2 in the tumor region. The suppression of CAT activity and depletion of glutathione by PHMZCO-AT largely weaken the off-target decomposition of H2 O2 to H2 O. Elevated H2 O2 is then catalyzed by the downstream POD-like activity of PHMZCO-AT to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals, further inducing tumor apoptosis and death. T1 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging and X-ray computed tomography imaging are also achieved using PHMZCO-AT due to the existence of paramagnetic Mn2+ and the high X-ray attenuation ability of elemental Zr, permitting in vivo tracking of the therapeutic process. This work presents a typical paradigm to achieve intensive NCDT efficacy by regulating multi-enzymatic activities of nanozymes to perturb the H2 O2 homeostasis.

Abstract
CeO2 with the reversible Ce3+/Ce4+ redox pair exhibits multiple enzyme-like catalytic performance, which has been recognized as a promising nanozyme with potentials for disease diagnosis and treatments. Tailorable surface physicochemical properties of various CeO2 catalysts with controllable sizes, morphologies, and surface states enable a rich surface chemistry for their interactions with various molecules and species, thus delivering a wide variety of catalytic behaviors under different conditions. Despite the significant progress made in developing CeO2-based nanozymes and their explorations for practical applications, their catalytic activity and specificity are still uncompetitive to their counterparts of natural enzymes under physiological environments. With the attempt to provide the insights on the rational design of highly performed CeO2 nanozymes, this review focuses on the recent explorations on the catalytic mechanisms of CeO2 with multiple enzyme-like performance. Given the detailed discussion and proposed perspectives, we hope this review can raise more interest and stimulate more efforts on this multi-disciplinary field.

Abstract
Peroxidase-like reaction process involving o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and silver nanoprisms in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was monitored using time-resolved ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy. The oxidation of OPD and etching of silver nanoprisms were investigated by analyzing the dynamic spectral data. Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) and principal component analysis (PCA) were employed to gain insights into the correlation between catalytic oxidation of OPD and etching of silver nanoprisms. It was found that OPD offered significant protection effect for silver nanoprisms so that morphologies of silver nanoprisms maintained at the beginning period after addition of H2O2. Moreover, silver nanoprisms accelerated the oxidation of OPD by H2O2, demonstrating enzymatic mimicking activity of silver nanoprisms. The combination of time-resolved UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and spectral calculation methods could be used for exploration of complex reaction systems with spectral variations.

Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are emerging pollutants that are likely to occur in the contemporary environment. So far, their combined effects on terrestrial plants have not been thoroughly investigated. Obviously, this subject is a challenge for modern ecotoxicology. In this study, Pisum sativum L. plants were exposed to either CeO2 NPs or ZnO NPs alone, or mixtures of these nano-oxides (at two concentrations: 100 and 200 mg/L). The plants were cultivated in hydroponic system for twelve days. The combined effect of NPs was proved by 1D ANOVA augmented by Tukey's post hoc test at p = 0.95. It affected all major plant growth and photosynthesis parameters. Additionally, HR-CS AAS and ICP-OES were used to determine concentrations of Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca, K, Zn, and Ce in roots and shoots. Treatment of the pea plants with the NPs, either alone or in combination affected the homeostasis of these metals in the plants. CeO2 NPs stimulated the photosynthesis rate, while ZnO NPs prompted stomatal and biochemical limitations. In the mixed ZnO and CeO2 treatments, the latter effects were decreased by CeO2 NPs. These results indicate that free radicals scavenging properties of CeO2 NPs mitigate the toxicity symptoms induced in the plants by ZnO NPs.

Abstract
Exposure to metallic nanoparticles (NPs) can result in inadvertent NP accumulation in body tissues. While their subsequent cellular interactions can lead to unintended consequences and are generally regarded as detrimental for health, they can on occasion mediate biologically beneficial effects. Among NPs, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NP) possess strong antioxidant properties and have shown to alleviate certain pathological conditions. Herein, we show that the presence of cubic 25 nm CeO2 NP was able to reduce TGF-β-mediated activation in the cultured hepatic stellate cell line LX2 by reducing oxidative stress levels and TGF-β-mediated signalling. These cells displayed reduced classical liver fibrosis phenotypes, such as diminished fibrogenesis, altered matrix degradation, decreased cell motility, modified contractability and potentially lowered autophagy. These findings demonstrate that CeO2 NP may be able to ameliorate hepatic fibrosis and suggest a possible therapeutic pathway for an otherwise difficult-to-treat condition.

Abstract
Cerium dioxide nanoparticles have a special place among engineered nanomaterials due to the wide range of their enzyme-like activities. They possess SOD-, catalase- and peroxidase-like properties, as well as recently discovered phosphatase-, photolyase-, phospholipase- and nuclease-like properties. Advancing biomedical applications of CeO2-based nanozymes requires an understanding of the features and mechanisms of the redox activity of CeO2 nanoparticles when entering the vascular bed, especially when interacting with lipid-protein supramolecular complexes (biomembranes and lipoproteins). In this paper, CeO2 nanoparticles are shown to possess two further types of nanozyme activity, namely lipo- and phospholipoperoxidase-like activities. Compared to a strong blood prooxidant, hemoglobin, CeO2 nanoparticles act as a mild oxidising agent, since they exhibit a 106 times lower, and 20 times lower, prooxidant capacity towards linoleic acid and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxides, respectively. Compared to the widespread pharmacological preparation of iron, Fe(iii) carboxymaltose (antianemic preparation Ferinject®), the prooxidant capacity of CeO2 nanoparticles towards lipid and phospholipid substrates has been shown to be 102 times lower, and 4 times higher, respectively. The data obtained on the mechanism of the interaction of nanodisperse CeO2 with the main components of biological membranes, lipids and phospholipids enable the substantial expansion of the scope of biomedical applications of CeO2 nanozymes. CeO2 nanoparticles were shown to possess two novel types of enzyme-like activity, namely lipoperoxidase and phospholipoperoxidase activity.![]()

Abstract
Catalytic cascades have drawn much attention by avoiding the isolation of intermediates and due to high atom economy. Yet, developing an efficient, one-pot biocatalytic cascade remains challenging. Combined with the selectivity of biological enzymes and tunable activity of nanozymes, we herein demonstrate an effective bio-nanozyme cascade formed by glucose oxidase (GOx) and in situ-generated nanoceria. The prepared H2O2-nanoceria complex shows strong oxidative activity for common chromogenic substrates under physiological conditions, which are the optimal reaction conditions for most biological enzymes. Interestingly, GOx not only provides H2O2 for the second step reaction but also simultaneously leads to 7.4-fold enhancement of activity. We characterized the process of in situ generation of nanoceria at pH 7.0 and how proteins boost the activity by enhancing product desorption. In addition, the proposed one-pot bio-nanozyme cascade shows high stability and analytical performance for serum glucose with a detection limit of 5 μM.

Abstract
Highly toxic radicals including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in cigarette smoke play an important role in oxidative damage of the lungs, which cannot be efficiently scavenged by current filter techniques. Herein, a novel alendronate-coated nanoceria (CeAL) nanozyme is explored for cigarette filter modification for ROS/RNS scavenging. The CeAL nanozyme with an adjustable oxidation state and high thermal stability exhibits an excellent superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, hydroxyl radical elimination capacity, catalase-mimicking activity, and nitric oxide radical scavenging ability. These synergistic antioxidant abilities make the CeAL nanozyme a lucrative additive for cigarette filters. The filter incorporated with the CeAL nanozyme can efficiently scavenge ROS/RNS in the hot smoke generated by burned commercial cigarettes, resulting in reduction of oxidative stress-induced pulmonary injury and acute inflammation of mice. The developed CeAL nanozyme opens up new opportunities for cigarette filter modification to decrease the toxicity of cigarette smoke and expands the application fields of nanoceria.

Abstract
Studies from past years have observed various enzymes that are artificial, which are issued to mimic naturally occurring enzymes based on their function and structure. The nanozymes possess nanomaterials that resemble natural enzymes and are considered an innovative class. This innovative class has achieved a brilliant response from various developments and researchers owing to this unique property. In this regard, numerous nanomaterials are inspected as natural enzyme mimics for multiple types of applications, such as imaging, water treatment, therapeutics, and sensing. Nanozymes have nanomaterial properties occurring with an inheritance that provides a single substitute and multiple platforms. Nanozymes can be controlled remotely via stimuli including heat, light, magnetic field, and ultrasound. Collectively, these all can be used to increase the therapeutic as well as diagnostic efficacies. These nanozymes have major biomedical applications including cancer therapy and diagnosis, medical diagnostics, and bio sensing. We summarized and emphasized the latest progress of nanozymes, including their biomedical mechanisms and applications involving synergistic and remote control nanozymes. Finally, we cover the challenges and limitations of further improving therapeutic applications and provide a future direction for using engineered nanozymes with enhanced biomedical and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization toward M1 phenotype (pro-inflammation) is closely associated with the destructive phase of periodontal inflammation. Nanoceria is verified to inhibit M1 polarization of macrophages by the favorable ability of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging. However, the function of nanoceria on macrophage polarization toward M2 phenotype (anti-inflammation) in reparative phase of periodontal inflammation is quite limited. In this work, by introducing an antioxidant drug quercetin onto nano-octahedral ceria, synergistic and intense regulation of host immunity against periodontal disease is realized. Such nanocomposite can control the phenotypic switch of macrophages by not only inhibition of M1 polarization for suppressing the damage in the destructive phase but also promotion of M2 polarization for regenerating the surrounding tissues in reparative phase of periodontal disease. As-prepared nanocomposite can effectively increase the M2/M1 ratio of macrophage polarization in inflammatory cellular models by lipopolysaccharide stimulation. More importantly, the nanocomposite also exerts an improved therapeutic potential against local inflammation by significant downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines in an animal model with periodontal inflammation. Therefore, this newly developed nanomedicine is efficient in ROS scavenging and driving pro-inflammatory macrophages to the anti-inflammatory phenotype to eliminate inflammation, thereby providing a promising candidate for treating periodontal inflammation.

Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) possess multiple redox enzyme mimetic activities in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a potential biomedicine. These enzymatic activities of CeNPs are closely related to their surface oxidation state. Here we have reported a synthetic method to modify CeNPs' surface oxidation state by changing the conformation of the poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) polymers adsorbed onto the CeNP surface. The synthesized PAA-CeNPs exhibited the same core size, morphology, crystal structure, and colloidal stability, with the only variation being their surface oxidation state (Ce3+ percentage). The modification mechanism can be attributed to the polymers chemisorbed onto the metal oxide surface forming a metal complexation structure. Such adsorption further modified CeNPs' surface oxidation state in a temperature-dependent manner. The series of PAA-CeNPs exhibited multiple redox enzyme mimetic activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and oxidase) directly related to their surface oxidation state. In vitro experiments showed no cytotoxic effect of these PAA-CeNPs on the osteoblastic cell line SAOS-2 at high loadings. Microscopic images confirmed the internalization of PAA-CeNPs in the cells. All tested PAA-CeNPs can reduce the basal and hydrogen peroxide-induced intracellular ROS level in the cells, indicating their effective intracellular ROS scavenging effect. However, we did not observe a positive correlation between the CeNP surface oxidation state and their capacities to reduce the intracellular ROS levels. We propose that CeNPs can maintain a dynamic state of Ce3+/Ce4+ during their catalytic activities, exhibiting a non-linear correlation between the CeNP surface oxidation state and their effect on regulating the intracellular ROS level.

Acute Skin Wounds Treated with Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Biopolymer Compositions Alone and in Combination: Evaluation of Agent Efficacy and Analysis of Healing Mechanisms. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13101534. [PMID: 34683826 PMCID: PMC8537629 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13101534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
We studied the efficacy of using mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and a polymeric compound (based on chitosan and cellulose with integrated cerium dioxide nanoparticles (PCCD)) in wound healing, and to compare the effects with various invasive and external drugs used for the same purpose. Two wounds were made on the backs of each of 112 Wistar rats, removing the skin. Eight groups were studied: Control_0—intact wounds; Control_ss—0.9% NaCl injections; MSC injections; Control_msc—intact wounds on the opposite side of the body from the MSC group; external application of the PCCD; external application of a combination of the drugs PCCD + MSC; DCh –ointment Dioxomethyltetrahydropyrimidine + Chloramphenicol; and DHCB—injections of a deproteinized hemoderivative of calf blood. After 14 days, we evaluated the state and size of the wounds, studied the level of microcirculation, performed a histological study, and identified and counted the different types of cells. The most effective remedy was combination PCCD + MSC. The treatments in the PCCD and MSC groups were more effective than in the DHCB and DCh groups. Invasive drugs and DCh slowed the regeneration process. DHCB did not affect the rate of healing for acute wounds without ischemia during the first week. The proven efficacy of developed polymeric compounds demonstrates the feasibility of further studies in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salinity is a big threat to agriculture by limiting crop production. Nanopriming (seed priming with nanomaterials) is an emerged approach to improve plant stress tolerance; however, our knowledge about the underlying mechanisms is limited. RESULTS Herein, we used cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) to prime rapeseeds and investigated the possible mechanisms behind nanoceria improved rapeseed salt tolerance. We synthesized and characterized polyacrylic acid coated nanoceria (PNC, 8.5 ± 0.2 nm, -43.3 ± 6.3 mV) and monitored its distribution in different tissues of the seed during the imbibition period (1, 3, 8 h priming). Our results showed that compared with the no nanoparticle control, PNC nanopriming improved germination rate (12%) and biomass (41%) in rapeseeds (Brassica napus) under salt stress (200 mM NaCl). During the priming hours, PNC were located mostly in the seed coat, nevertheless the intensity of PNC in cotyledon and radicle was increased alongside with the increase of priming hours. During the priming hours, the amount of the absorbed water (52%, 14%, 12% increase at 1, 3, 8 h priming, respectively) and the activities of α-amylase were significantly higher (175%, 309%, 295% increase at 1, 3, 8 h priming, respectively) in PNC treatment than the control. PNC primed rapeseeds showed significantly lower content of MDA, H2O2, and •O2- in both shoot and root than the control under salt stress. Also, under salt stress, PNC nanopriming enabled significantly higher K+ retention (29%) and significantly lower Na+ accumulation (18.5%) and Na+/K+ ratio (37%) than the control. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that besides the more absorbed water and higher α-amylase activities, PNC nanopriming improves salt tolerance in rapeseeds through alleviating oxidative damage and maintaining Na+/K+ ratio. It adds more knowledge regarding the mechanisms underlying nanopriming improved plant salt tolerance.

Abstract
Mishandling of antibiotics often leads to the development of multiple drug resistance (MDR) among microbes, resulting in the failure of infection treatments and putting human health at great risk. As a response, unique nanomaterials with superior bioactivity must be developed to combat bacterial infections. Herein, CeO2-based nanomaterials (NMs) were synthesized by employing cerium(iii) nitrate and selective alkaline ions. Moreover, the influence of alkaline ions on CeO2 was investigated, and their characteristics, viz.: biochemical, structural, and optical properties, were altered. The size of nano Ba-doped CeO2 (BCO) was ∼2.3 nm, relatively smaller than other NMs and the antibacterial potential of CeO2, Mg-doped CeO2 (MCO), Ca-doped CeO2 (CCO), Sr-doped CeO2 (SCO), and Ba-doped CeO2 (BCO) NMs against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) strains was assessed. BCO outperformed all NMs in terms of antibacterial efficacy. In addition, achieving the enhanced bioactivity of BCO due to reduced particle size facilitated the easy penetration into the bacterial membrane and the presence of a sizeable interfacial surface. In this study, the minimum quantity of BCO required to achieve the complete inhibition of bacteria was determined to be 1000 μg mL-1 and 1500 μg mL-1 for S. mutans and S. aureus, respectively. The cytotoxicity test with L929 fibroblast cells demonstrated that BCO was less toxic to healthy cells. Furthermore, BCO did not show any toxicity and cell morphological changes in the L929 fibroblast cells, which is similar to the control cell morphology. Overall, the results suggest that nano BCO can be used in biomedical applications, which can potentially help improve human health conditions.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes (or nanozymes) have attracted great attention in the past few years owing to their capability not only to mimic functionality but also to overcome the inherent drawbacks of the natural enzymes. Numerous advantages of nanozymes such as diverse enzyme-mimicking activities, low cost, high stability, robustness, unique surface chemistry, and ease of surface tunability and biocompatibility have allowed their integration in a wide range of biosensing applications. Several metal, metal oxide, metal-organic framework-based nanozymes have been exploited for the development of biosensing systems, which present the potential for point-of-care analysis. To highlight recent progress in the field, in this review, more than 260 research articles are discussed systematically with suitable recent examples, elucidating the role of nanozymes to reinforce, miniaturize, and improve the performance of point-of-care diagnostics addressing the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to the end user) criteria formulated by World Health Organization. The review reveals that many biosensing strategies such as electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, and immunological sensors required to achieve the ASSURED standards can be implemented by using enzyme-mimicking activities of nanomaterials as signal producing components. However, basic system functionality is still lacking. Since the enzyme-mimicking properties of the nanomaterials are dictated by their size, shape, composition, surface charge, surface chemistry as well as external parameters such as pH or temperature, these factors play a crucial role in the design and function of nanozyme-based point-of-care diagnostics. Therefore, it requires a deliberate exertion to integrate various parameters for truly ASSURED solutions to be realized. This review also discusses possible limitations and research gaps to provide readers a brief scenario of the emerging role of nanozymes in state-of-the-art POC diagnosis system development for futuristic biosensing applications.

Abstract
Interventional coronary reperfusion strategies are widely adopted to treat acute myocardial infarction, but morbidity and mortality of acute myocardial infarction are still high. Reperfusion injuries are inevitable due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis of cardiac muscle cells. However, many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drugs are largely limited by pharmacokinetics and route of administration, such as short half-life, low stability, low bioavailability, and side effects for treatment myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective drugs and technologies to address this issue. Fortunately, nanotherapies have demonstrated great opportunities for treating myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury. Compared with traditional drugs, nanodrugs can effectively increase the therapeutic effect and reduces side effects by improving pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties due to nanodrugs’ size, shape, and material characteristics. In this review, the biology of ROS and molecular mechanisms of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury are discussed. Furthermore, we summarized the applications of ROS-based nanoparticles, highlighting the latest achievements of nanotechnology researches for the treatment of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Researches of the myocardial infarction pathology and development of new treatments have very important scientific significance in the biomedical field. Many nanomaterials have shown amazing therapeutic effects to reduce myocardial damage by eliminating ROS. Nanomaterials effectively reduced myocardial damage through eliminating ROS from NOXs, M-ETC, M-Ca2+, M-mPTP, and RIRR.

Abstract
Gd-based complexes are widely used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. The safety of previously approved contrast agents is questionable and is being re-assessed. The main causes of concern are possible gadolinium deposition in the brain and the development of systemic nephrogenic fibrosis after repeated use of MRI contrasts. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a new generation of MRI contrasts that are safe and that have high selectivity in tissue accumulation with improved local contrast. Here, we report on a new type of theranostic MRI contrast, namely dextran stabilised, gadolinium doped cerium dioxide nanoparticles. These ultra-small (4-6 nm) Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 nanoparticles have been shown to possess excellent colloidal stability and high r1-relaxivity (3.6 mM-1 s-1). They are effectively internalised by human normal and cancer cells and demonstrate dose-dependent selective cytotoxicity to cancer cells.

Abstract
The biological applications of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) have received extensive attention in recent decades. The coexistence of trivalent cerium and tetravalent cerium on the surface of nanoceria allows the scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The regeneratable changes between Ce3+ and Ce4+ make nanoceria a suitable therapeutic agent for treating ROS-related diseases and inflammatory diseases. The size, morphology and Ce3+/Ce4+ state of cerium oxide nanoparticles are affected by the synthesis method. This review focuses on various synthesis methods of cerium oxide nanoparticles and discusses their corresponding physical characteristics, and anti-ROS and anti-inflammatory properties.

Abstract
Formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via H2O2 activation is of vital importance in catalytic environmental chemistry, especially in degradation of organic pollutants. A new mixed niobium-cerium oxide (NbCeOx) was tailored for this purpose. A thorough structural and chemical characterization of NbCeOx along with CeO2 and Nb2O5 reference materials was carried out using TEM/STEM/EDS, SEM, XRD, XPS, EPR, UV-vis and N2 physisorption. The ability of the catalysts to activate H2O2 towards ROS formation was assessed on the basis of EPR and Raman measurements. Catalytic activity of the oxides was evaluated in degradation of methylene blue (MB) as a model pollutant. Very high activity of NbCeOx was attributed to the mixed redox-acidic nature of its surface, which originated from the synergy between Nb and Ce species. These two properties (redox activity and acidity) ensured convenient conditions for efficient activation of H2O2 and degradation of MB. The activity of NbCeOx in MB degradation was found 3 times higher than that of the commercial Nb2O5 CBMM catalyst and 240 times higher than that of CeO2. The mechanism of the degradation reaction was found to be an adsorption-triggered process initiated by hydroxyl radicals, generated on the surface via the transformation of O2-•/O22-.

Abstract
The urge to meet the ever-growing needs of sensing technology has spurred research to look for new alternatives to traditional analytical methods. In this scenario, the glucometer is the flagship of commercial electrochemical sensing platforms, combining selectivity, reliability and portability. However, other types of enzyme-based biosensors seldom achieve the market, in spite of the large and increasing number of publications. The reasons behind their commercial limitations concern enzyme denaturation, and the high costs associated with procedures for their extraction and purification. In this sense, biomimetic materials that seek to imitate the desired properties of natural enzymes and biological systems have come out as an appealing path for robust and sensitive electrochemical biosensors. We herein portray the historical background of these biomimicking materials, covering from their beginnings until the most impactful applications in the field of electrochemical sensing platforms. Throughout the discussion, we present and critically appraise the major benefits and the most significant drawbacks offered by the bioinspired systems categorized as Nanozymes, Synzymes, Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs), Nanochannels, and Metal Complexes. Innovative strategies of fabrication and challenging applications are further reviewed and evaluated. In the end, we ponder over the prospects of this emerging field, assessing the most critical issues that shall be faced in the coming decade.

Abstract
An O2 self-evolving core-shell theranostic nanohybrid was developed by encapsulating a nanoenzyme cerium oxide (CeOx) in a metal-organic framework (MOF). The hybrid reveals a 9-fold higher apoptotic percentage than bare CeOx in a harsh hypoxic microenvironment through tandem homogenous catalysis. Simultaneously, the oxygen-promoted therapeutic efficiency was self-monitored by the hybrid with caspase-3 activation, paving the way for MOF-functionalized nanoenzymes in theranostics.

Abstract
Since the ferromagnetic (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were firstly reported to exert enzyme-like activity in 2007, extensive research progress in nanozymes has been made with deep investigation of diverse nanozymes and rapid development of related nanotechnologies. As promising alternatives for natural enzymes, nanozymes have broadened the way toward clinical medicine, food safety, environmental monitoring, and chemical production. The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of metal- and metal oxide-based nanozymes owing to their remarkable physicochemical properties in parallel with low cost, high stability, and easy storage. It is widely known that the deep study of catalytic activities and mechanism sheds significant influence on the applications of nanozymes. This review digs into the characteristics and intrinsic properties of metal- and metal oxide-based nanozymes, especially emphasizing their catalytic mechanism and recent applications in biological analysis, relieving inflammation, antibacterial, and cancer therapy. We also conclude the present challenges and provide insights into the future research of nanozymes constituted of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials.

Engineered nanoceria modulate neutrophil oxidative response to low doses of UV-B radiation through the inhibition of reactive oxygen species production. J Biomed Mater Res A 2021; 109:2570-2579.

Abstract
To avoid aging and ultraviolet mediated skin disease the cell repair machinery must work properly. Neutrophils, also known as polymorphonuclear leukocytes, are the first and most abundant cell types which infiltrate sites of irradiation and play an important role in restoring the microenvironment homeostasis. However, the infiltration of neutrophils in ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiated skin might also contribute to the pathophysiology of skin disease. The polymorphonuclear leukocytes activation induced by UV-B exposure may lead to prolonged, sustained NADPH oxidase activation followed by an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Our previous work showed that cerium oxide nanoparticles can protect L929 fibroblasts from ultraviolet-B induced damage. Herein, we further our investigation of engineered cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNP) in conferring radiation protection specifically in modulation of neutrophils' oxidative response under low dose of UV-B radiation. Our data showed that even low doses of UV-B radiation activate neutrophils' oxidative response and that the antioxidant, ROS-sensitive redox activities of engineered CNPs are able to inhibit the effects of NADPH oxidase activation while conferring catalase and superoxide dismutase mimetic activity. Further, our investigations revealed similar levels of total ROS scavenging for both CNP formulations, despite substantial differences in cerium redox states and specific enzyme-mimetic reaction activity. We therefore determine that CNP activity in mitigating the effects of neutrophils' oxidative response, through the decrease of ROS and of cell damage such as chromatin condensation, suggests potential utility as a radio-protectant/therapeutic against UV-B damage.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are a group of metalloenzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide radicals (O2˙-) into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxygen (O2). As the first line of defense against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated damage, SODs are expected to play an important role in the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases. However, the clinical applications of SODs have been severely limited by their structural instability and high cost. Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes, nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity, are more stable, and economical, can be easily modified and their activities can be adjusted. Due to their excellent characteristics, nanozymes have attracted widespread attention in recent years and are expected to become effective substitutes for natural enzymes in many application fields. Importantly, some nanozymes with SOD-like activity have been developed and proved to have a mitigating effect on diseases caused by oxidative stress. These studies on SOD-like nanozymes provide a feasible strategy for breaking through the dilemma of SOD clinical applications. However, at present, the specific catalytic mechanism of SOD-like nanozymes is still unclear, and many important issues need to be resolved. Although there are many comprehensive reviews to introduce the overall situation of the nanozyme field, the research on SOD-like nanozymes still lacks a systematic review. From the structure and mechanism of natural SOD enzymes to the structure and regulation of SOD-like nanozymes, and then to the measurement and application of nanozymes, this review systematically summarizes the recent progress in SOD-like nanozymes. The existing shortcomings and possible future research hotspots in the development of SOD-like nanozymes are summarized and prospected. We hope that this review would provide ideas and inspirations for further research on the catalytic mechanism and rational design of SOD-like nanozymes.

Unraveling the Origin of Photocatalytic Deactivation in CeO 2/Nb 2O 5 Heterostructure Systems during Methanol Oxidation: Insight into the Role of Cerium Species. THE JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY. C, NANOMATERIALS AND INTERFACES 2021; 125:12650-12662.

Abstract
The study provides deep insight into the origin of photocatalytic deactivation of Nb2O5 after modification with ceria. Of particular interest was to fully understand the role of ceria species in diminishing the photocatalytic performance of CeO2/Nb2O5 heterostructures. For this purpose, ceria was loaded on niobia surfaces by wet impregnation. The as-prepared materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption, UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence measurements. Photocatalytic activity of parent metal oxides (i.e., Nb2O5 and CeO2) and as-prepared CeO2/Nb2O5 heterostructures with different ceria loadings were tested in methanol photooxidation, a model gas-phase reaction. Deep insight into the photocatalytic process provided by operando-IR techniques combined with results of photoluminescence studies revealed that deactivation of CeO2/Nb2O5 heterostructures resulted from increased recombination of photo-excited electrons and holes. The main factor contributing to more efficient recombination of the charge carriers in the heterostructures was the ultrafine size of the ceria species. The presence of such highly dispersed ceria species on the niobia surface provided a strong interface between these two semiconductors, enabling efficient charge transfer from Nb2O5 to CeO2. However, the ceria species supported on niobia exhibited a high defect site concentration, which acted as highly active recombination centers for the photo-induced charge carriers.
