Biogenic Ag-based bimetallic nanoparticle for medicinal and photocatalytic application

Title : Biogenic Ag-based bimetallic nanoparticle for medicinal and photocatalytic application

Abstract:

This review focuses on the biogenic synthesis, medicinal and photocatalytic applications of Ag-based bimetallic nanoparticles. Bimetallic nanoparticles are nanoscale particles composed of two different metal elements. These nanoparticles have gained significant attention in recent years due to their unique properties and wide range of applications. The importance of bimetallic nanoparticles stems from their distinct characteristics resulting from the combination of two different metals. Therefore, bimetallic nanoparticles offer a wealth of opportunities due to their enhanced catalytic activity, tunable properties, improved stability, unique electromagnetic characteristics, and versatile applications. The utilization of biogenic methods for Ag-based BMNPs synthesis, such as biological extracts and microorganisms, provides an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach. The medicinal applications of Ag-based bimetallic nanoparticles encompass their antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, and antifungal activity. Furthermore, the photocatalytic potential of these Ag-Based BMNPs has been explored for environmental remediation, water purification, and degradation of organic pollutants. Hence, Ag-based bimetallic nanoparticles continue to be an area of active research and development, holding significant promise for various technological advancements.
