摘要

Leaf extract of Salvadora persica L. was used for the green synthesis of pure and cadmium-doped cerium oxide nanoparticles (Cd-CeO₂-NPs). The nanoparticles were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and UV-Visible spectroscopy. XRD, UV-Vis, and EDX analyses confirmed the successful incorporation of cadmium into the CeO₂ lattice. FESEM revealed that the synthesized nanoparticles were spherical with a size range of 10–20 nm ± 2 nm. The photocatalytic activity of the nanoparticles was evaluated by the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye under UV-A light. The results showed photodegradation efficiencies of 71.49% ± 1.50% and 87.47% ± 1.80% for pure CeO₂-NPs and Cd-CeO₂-NPs, respectively (n = 3). Cytotoxicity assessment against MCF-7 breast cancer cells indicated that CeO₂-NPs exhibited a greater inhibitory effect than Cd-CeO₂-NPs.
