Abstract

A novel method is proposed for preparing biocompatible aqueous CeO2 sols, which allows purposefully adjusting particle sizes and biochemical properties of nanocrystalline ceria (NC). The usefulness of this method for preparing aqueous sols of Ce1 − x Gd x O2 − x/2 solid solutions is demonstrated. Nanocrystalline ceria has been demonstrated to have a size-dependent activity in hydroxyl radical inactivation and in protecting mouse fibroblast cells (L929) from oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide administration.
