We present a comprehensive review of the applications of biosynthesized metallic
nanoparticles (NPs). The biosynthesis of metallic NPs is the subject of a number of recent …

Sustainability has become a watchword and guiding principle for modern society, and with it
a growing appreciation that anthropogenic 'waste', in all its manifold forms, can offer a …

The increasing demand of different essential metals as a consequence of the development
of new technologies, especially in the so called “low carbon technologies” require the …

The feasibility of biometallurgical processing for recovering heavy metals, precious metals,
and rare earth elements from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is critically …

Adsorption is a facile, economic, eco-friendly and low-energy requiring technology that aims
to separate diverse compounds (ions and molecules) from one phase to another using a …

The fields of metallic nanoparticle study and synthetic biology have a great deal to offer one
another. Metallic nanoparticles as a class of material have many useful properties. Their …

Sustainable methods are needed to recycle precious metals and synthesize catalytic
nanoparticles. Palladium nanoparticles can be produced via microbial reduction of soluble …

We report a novel biochemical method based on the sacrificial hydrogen strategy to
synthesize bimetallic gold (Au)–palladium (Pd) nanoparticles (NPs) with a core/shell …

Five gram negative and two gram positive bacterial strains known for their heavy metal
tolerance or ability to reduce metal ions were coated with Pd (0) nanoparticles (NPs) via …

Recovering palladium (Pd) from waste streams opens up the possibility of augmenting the
supply of this important catalyst. We evaluated Pd reduction and recovery as a novel …
