“…Cervical cancer is the 4th majorly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, with approximately 604,000 new cases and 342,000 global mortalities in 2020 [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Although the incidence of cervical cancer decreased over the last few decades, the trend in young women has been primarily influenced by a distant stage and cervical carcinoma [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Advanced cervical carcinoma is the most aggressive type of ovarian cancer, occurring in around 70% of cases in both developed and developing countries [ 8 ].…”

Due to their appropriate physicochemical properties, nanoparticles are used in nanomedicine to develop drug delivery systems for anticancer therapy. In biomedical applications, metal oxide nanoparticles are used as powerful and flexible multipurpose agents. This work described a green synthesis of Y2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) using the sol-gel technique with the use of aqueous leaf extracts of Lantana camara L (LC). These nanoparticles were characterized with the aid of different methods, including UV, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmitted electron microscopy (TEM), and photocatalytic degradation. Y2O3 nanoparticles showed excellent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis and Gram-negative Escherichia coli with a 10 to 15 mm inhibitory zone. Green Y2O3 NPs were released with a 4 h lag time and 80% sustained release rate, indicating that they could be used in drug delivery. In addition, the bioavailability of green Y2O3 NPs was investigated using cell viability in cervical cancer cell lines. These green-synthesized Y2O3 NPs demonstrated photocatalytic degradation, antibacterial, and anticancer properties.

“…[98] The generation of reactive oxygen species from WO 3 under irradiation of suitable wavelength light kills the cancer cells. [99] Due to the presence of oxygen vacancy in the WO 3 , they generate free radicals and ionizations to kill the cancer cells make them potentially use in radiotherapy. Oxygen deficient WO 3 generates radiochemicals for killing tumor cells.…”

Tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) has received ever more attention and has been highly researched over the last decade due to its being a low-cost transition metal semiconductor with tunable, yet widely stable, band gaps. This minireview briefly highlights the challenges in the design and synthesis of porous WO 3 including methods, precursors, solvent effects, crystal phases, and surface activities of the porous WO 3 base material. These topics are explored while also drawing a connection of how the morphology and crystal phase affect the band gap. The shifts in band gap not only impact the optical properties of tungsten but also allow tuning to operate on different energy levels, which makes WO 3 highly desirable in many applications such as supercapacitors, batteries, solar cells, catalysts, sensors, smart windows, and bioapplications.

“…ZnO is one of most commonly used semiconductor photocatalysts. It is found that in many cases, nano ZnO has better photocatalytic effect than TiO 2 [4,5] . However, ZnO only responds to ultraviolet light accounting for about 4% of sunlight, and does not respond to about 43% of visible light [6,7] .…”

The ZnO-BiOCl composite were prepared by a soft chemical method. And crystalline phase, morphology, optical property and photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO-BiOCl compound semiconductors were studied by XRD, SEM, DRS and RhB photodegradation under visible-light irradiation. The results showed that ZnO-BiOCl compound semiconductor was significantly more active than ZnO or BiOCl, since ZnO-BiOCl compound semiconductor may facilitate the transfer of charge carriers and retard the e--h+ recombination. Moreover, the photocatalytic degradation of RhB over ZnO-BiOCl composite sample is the highest, which is also caused by the combination of the photocatalytic performance of ZnO and the photosensitization performance of BiOCl.
