•Hybrid chitosan cerium oxide nanoparticles prepared for the first time by using natural Sida acuta leaf extract. The FTIR spectrum of prepared samples showed the formation of CeO bonds and chitosan main chains COC and CO respectively.•XRD pattern revealed that hybrid Chi-CeO2 NPs have a polynanocry...
