The present study describes the synthesis of lanthanum and cerium oxide (La2O3 and CeO2) nanoparticles (NPs) based on
eco-friendly approach using Ficus religiosa leaves extract. The synthesized NPs have been characterized using various
analytical techniques, including UV-Visible and FT-IR spectroscopy, and PXRD. The surface morphology and shape of the
NPs have been determined using advanced imaging techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission
Electron Microscope (TEM) and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM) revealing that the NPs
possessed predominantly spherical and rod-like shapes. Additionally, the surface area covered by NPs has been calculated
using BET analysis and it shows an increment from a value of 7.243 m2 g–1 to 45.144 m2 g–1 and peak pore volume increases
from 0.0743 cm3 g–1 to 0.1904 cm3 g–1. The antibacterial activity of NPs has been evaluated against Gram-positive and
Gram-negative bacteria showing significant activity. Finally, the hemolytic and antioxidant activity of NPs have been
assessed and have demonstrated their efficacy suggesting their potential applications.
