Abstract
Cerium is one of the most studied rare elements whose oxidative state (Ce3+ and Ce4+) can be changed in different environments. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs), which are nevertheless more complex chemical structures, are nowadays very exciting entities involved in the biomedical field, particularly in the four stages of wound healing. In the first stage, called hemostasis, several issues such as the required morphology to be biologically efficient, and the effect of Ce3+ and Ce4+ on the applicability potential of CeO2 NPs remain unclear. Our interest is focused in this study on the detailed understanding of the cations' location, when differently shaped CeO2 NPs (i.e., nanocube, nanosphere, nanorod, and polyhedral particles) were used. Additionally, the present research highlights the applicability of nanoparticles in direct contact with blood and the antibacterial and antifungal properties of the samples. A correlation between the fungicidal properties of the samples and the Ce3+ cations formed on the surface was performed. The nanosphere/nanorod particles show the highest interaction with the hemoglobin (Hb). In addition, it was concluded that negatively charged surfaces favor the antibacterial properties using gram-negative bacteria. The morphologies' applicability will depend on the following parameters: surface area/volume ratio, crystallinity, hydrophilicity, Ce3+/Ce4+ ion distribution, and surface charge. Considering all these parameters and the nanoparticle applications, the nanorod will be the most suitable for antimicrobiological applications (antibacterial and antifungal), and showing the highest hemocompatibility. © 2025 The Authors
