Plant-derived metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as an important alternative to chemically synthesized MNPs for various environmental applications. However, such applications must ensure eco-friendliness during various stages of fate-determining processes in the environment. This issue is of global concern, but has not been addressed so far. This necessitates delving into the environmental fate and role of surface-capped plant molecules of plant-derived MNPs in nano-specific fate processes and applicability of colloidal science principles.

Abstract


Plant-derived metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as an important alternative to chemically synthesized MNPs for various environmental applications. However, such applications must ensure eco-friendliness during various stages of fate-determining processes in the environment. This issue is of global concern, but has not been addressed so far. This necessitates delving into the environmental fate and role of surface-capped plant molecules of plant-derived MNPs in nano-specific fate processes and applicability of colloidal science principles.
