Eco-friendly Synthesis and Characterization of CeO2-doped TiO2 Nanoparticles Using Biowaste: Unveiling Potent Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties

Abstract

In this study, CeO2-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using an eco-friendly approach, utilizing an aqueous extract from the calyx leaves (outer covering) of Physalis peruviana fruits. The morphology of the green-synthesized nanoparticles was characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, SEM, and X-ray diffraction. The anti-inflammatory activity of the biosynthesized NPs was evaluated through a denaturation test. The use of the fruit’s outer calyx, commonly discarded as food waste, presents a sustainable strategy for repurposing food and biological waste in nanotechnology. The NPs exhibited favorable magnetic properties, a well-defined crystalline structure, and notable anti-inflammatory effects, highlighting their potential for therapeutic and medical applications, particularly under green synthesis protocols.
