Abstract

In this paper, Selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) were produced through a green approach that included the distinguished functionalities of ascorbic acid in the role of reducing agent, Xanthan Gum (XG) as the stabilizer, and sodium selenite salt as the source of selenium. The shape and structure of XG-SeNPs were characterized and determined by examining the outcomes of UV–Vis, FTIR, XRD, FESEM, TEM, and EDX analyses. The results of the FESEM analysis exhibited their spherical shape and average size range of 44–68 nm. Moreover, we evaluated the photocatalytic effects of XG-SeNPs for degrading methylene blue (MB) dye and observed their great potential as photocatalysts under UV light. The toxicity and biocompatibility of XG-SeNPs were also evaluated against the CT26 cell line via MTT test, and according to the outcomes, their IC50 reached up to 545.7 ppm.
