Green Extract Mediated Synthesis of Cerium Nitrate Hexahydrate by Using Banana Rim for the Evaluation of Antibacterial Efficacy

This work deals with the systematic study of structural, optical and antibacterial study of CeNO₃ and green extract of banana rim. Natural plant extracts and cerium nitrate CeNO₃ have attracted attention because of their possible synergistic effects in biological applications. This study examines the antibacterial, wound-healing, and antioxidant qualities of a green plant extract in conjunction with CeNO₃. These substances stabilize cerium ions when coupled with CeNO₃, which may lessen cytotoxicity while increasing the bioavailability and effectiveness of cerium ions. These results demonstrate the potential of CeNO₃ in conjunction with green extracts to create cutting-edge wound care products and antioxidant treatments. To clarify the underlying mechanisms and improve the formulation for therapeutic applications, more research is necessary. Furthermore, the combination shows enhanced antimicrobial activity in tests against common pathogenic bacteria (E. coli and S. aureus), which may make it appropriate for use as a wound dressing.
