This critical review focuses on recent advances in the bio-inspired synthesis of metal
nanomaterials (MNMs) using microorganisms, viruses, plants, proteins and DNA molecules …

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 …

Palladium (Pd) is a key component of many catalysts. Nanoparticles (NPs) offer a larger
surface area than bulk materials, and with Pd cost increasing 5-fold in the last 10 years, Pd …

Rapid dechlorination and full mineralization of para-chlorophenol (4-CP), a toxic
contaminant, are unfulfilled goals in water treatment. Means to achieve both goals stem from …

Insight into extracellular electron transfer of microorganisms is important for our
understanding of electron-transport pathways in bioelectrochemical systems (eg biological …

While precious metals are available to a very limited extent, there is an increasing demand
to use them as catalyst. This is also true for palladium (Pd) catalysts and their sustainable …

The impact of nanotechnology in all areas of science and technology is evident. The
expanding availability of a variety of nanostructures with properties in the nanometer size …

With the continuous depletion of global oil reserves, unconventional alternative oil resources
like heavy oil and bitumen have become increasingly attractive. This study investigates the …

Over the past 30years the literature has burgeoned with bioremediation approaches to
heavy metal removal from wastes. The price of base and precious metals has also …

The ability of microbial cells to synthesize highly reactive nanoscale functional materials
