Traditional chemotherapeutic agents can damage healthy tissues, particularly those with rapidly dividing cells, necessitating lower drug dosages and leading to disappointing survival rates. To address these challenges, nanoparticles utilize the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, allowing for improved drug accumulation in tumor tissues. Engineered nanoparticles can be designed for specific targeting by incorporating ligands that selectively bind to receptors on target cells and tumor vasculature. Additionally, stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms represent an innovative approach; these platforms remain inactive in normal conditions but become activated in the tumor environment, releasing their therapeutic payload in a controlled manner. This targeted strategy not only enhances treatment efficacy but also minimizes exposure to healthy cells. Researchers are focusing on modifying nanoparticle surfaces with biological ligands, known as active targeting, which improves absorption and facilitates stronger attachment to specific receptors on cancer cells. By concentrating on the unique features of malignancies, nanomedicine offers a more efficient method for addressing solid tumors and reduces the risk of developing resistant clonal populations of cancer cells. Overall, nanotechnology provides the potential for selective targeting of malignant cells, enhancing drug delivery and uptake while minimizing harm to healthy tissues.

This manuscript presents undoped CeO₂ and Ag doped CeO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) with different concentration of Ag (x = 0.03, 0.05 and 0.07), prepared using a simple coprecipitation route of synthesis. The prepared NPs have been characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis NIR spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical analysis. The XRD measurement infers the improvement in the crystalline nature with Ag-doping and crystallite size between 13 and 9 nm. The absorption spectra reflect the red shifting of the absorption peaks along with the narrowing of band gap with rise in the Ag concentration. To ascertain the defects and excitation wavelength, PL measurement has been performed. High color rendering index (CRI) of the prepared samples showed good luminescence with white light emission. The development of oxygen vacancies (V_o) upon Ag doping is further confirmed by XPS measurement. In addition, the XPS measurements revealed the charged oxygen vacancies as well as the valence states of Ce with 3+ and 4+ , Ag with 1+ , and O with 2–. The CV test verified that in 2 M KOH electrolyte solution, the 5 % Ag-doped CeO₂ NPs had the maximum specific capacitance (C_SP) value of 363.44 F/g at scan rate of 10 mV/s the best cycle stability (retaining 93.90 % after 2100 cycles).
