Abstract

Abstract: This work describes the synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activity of samarium (Sm) doped cerium oxide nanoparticles. The Sm doped CeO2 nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal method with various concentrations ranges from 2 mol % to 8 mol %. The XRD pattern revealed crystalline nature with size of 58.3 nm–43.47 nm. The Ce–O chemical bonding nature was confirmed using FTIR. FESEM exhibited fascinating shapes like agglomerated octahedral and grow rod arm on octahedral phases of nanoparticles. UV–Vis was used to measure the optical behaviors of CeO2 nanoparticles. The samarium doped CeO2 nanoparticles showed better antibacterial activity against the pathogenic bacteria.
