The re-evaluation of animals, plants, and microorganisms for green synthesis has revolutionized the fabrication of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs). Green synthesis provides more biocompatibility compared to chemically synthesized MNPs, which make them ideal for diverse biological applications, especially in biomedicine. Various organisms have been extensively studied for green synthesis. Interestingly, angiosperms, algae, and animal-derived biomaterials like chitin and silk have shown a prominent role in synthesizing these nanoparticles. Moreover, bacteria, viruses, and fungi serve as sources of reducing agents, further expanding green synthesis possibilities. Despite progress, research on natural reducing agents remains relatively limited, with only a few exceptions such as tea and neem plants receiving attention. Green-synthesized nanoparticles have diverse applications in various fields. In biomedicine, they enable drug delivery, targeted therapies, and bio-imaging due to their enhanced biocompatibility. Some MNPs also exhibit potent antimicrobial properties, aiding in disease control and eco-friendly disinfection. Furthermore, green nanoparticles contribute to environmental remediation by purifying water and serve as sensitive biosensors for diagnostics and environmental monitoring. This review will provide the recent progress and advancements in the field of green synthesis (GS) of nanoparticles. It will also analyze the key characteristics and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of GS compared to chemical synthesis.

The constant increase in population and as a result increase in industrial activities in many areas, such as textiles, cosmetics, leather, polymers, and food processing leads to the contamination of water sources with different dyes. Thus, the removal of dyes from contaminated water sources to make water reusable is the utmost requirement of the time in order to get environmental sustainability. The reason of removal is that many dyes and pollutants present in dyeing wastewater from industries have detrimental impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. To lessen the negative effects of dye wastewater on the environment and living beings, it should be processed first to remove un-wanted components before being released in the water sources. However, due to some drawbacks of dye removal technologies, it is challenging to settle on a single solution that addresses the current dye effluent problem to make water clean. In the current work, we tried our best to elaborate different methods adopted for the treatment of dyes polluted wastewater with respect to their implementation along with drawbacks and advantages.

Transition metal compounds (TMCs) provide the benefits of vast reserves, affordability, non-toxicity, and environmental friendliness, making them highly sought-after in recent times. Integrating transition metal salts into polymers may result in substantial enhancements in optical and electrical characteristics, making them appealing for many applications. Transition metal ions may display a range of electronic transitions, which enables the adjustment of absorption and emission spectra. This characteristic has significant value in applications such as light-emitting devices (LEDs) and sensors. The photoluminescence of polymers may be improved by the addition of transition metal salts, which results in light emission that is both more brilliant and more efficient. On the other hand, this is advantageous for screens and optoelectronic devices. The presence of transition metal salts in polymers may help to improve their optical stability, hence lowering the probability that the polymers will degrade or change color over time. When it comes to the performance of optical devices over the long run, this is quite essential. Elevating the electrical conductivity of polymers is possible via the use of transition metal salts. This is very helpful in the process of developing conductive polymers for use in applications such as electronic fabrics, organic solar cells, and flexible electronic devices. Transition metal salts can affect the electrical band structure of polymers, which enables the band gap of the material to be tuned. This is very necessary in order to maximize the amount of light that is absorbed by photovoltaic devices. Through having all these benefits, we conducted a review to find out the effects on polymeric materials.

Coordination compounds are molecules that contain one or more metal centers bound to ligands. Ligands can be atoms, ions, or molecules that transfer electrons to the metal. These compounds can be charged or neutral. When charged, neighboring counter-ions help stabilize the complex. The metal ion is located at the center of a complex ion, surrounded by other molecules or ions known as ligands. Ligands can be thought of as covalently bonded to the core ion through coordination. Understanding coordination theory in chemistry provides insight into the geometric shape of complexes and the structure of coordination compounds, which consist of a central atom or molecule connected to surrounding atoms or compounds. Inorganic coordination compounds exhibit different properties and are used in synthesizing organic molecules. The coordination of chemicals is vital for the survival of living organisms. Metal complexes are also essential for various biological processes, with many enzymes, known as metalloenzymes, being composed of metal complexes. These metal complexes occur naturally.

Kidney stone disease is a global concern, and its prevalence is increasing. The objective of this review is to provide a thorough analysis of the many analytical techniques used in the study of kidney stones and to investigate the significance of major and trace components in the development of kidney stone formation. The samples included organic (uric acid) and inorganic (calcium oxalate and carbonate apatite). To study kidney stone analysis methods like XRD, FTIR, SEM, and ICP-MS, a systematic literature review was conducted. The quantities and effects of main (calcium, oxalate, phosphate) and trace (magnesium, zinc, copper) elements in kidney stone development were also examined. The review shows that XRD and FTIR are best for evaluating kidney stone crystalline structure and content, whereas SEM gives rich morphological insights. Its trace element detection sensitivity makes ICP-MS unique. Calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate, the most common components, affect kidney stone development. Trace elements like magnesium prevent stone formation, whereas zinc and copper may encourage crystallisation. Results revealed significantly higher calcium levels in inorganic components compared to organic ones. Uric acid stones exhibited lower element content except for copper and selenium, likely originating from the liver. Carbonate apatite stones showed higher element concentrations, particularly magnesium, compared to calcium oxalate stones. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified three principal components, explaining 91.91 % of the variance. These components reflected specific co-precipitation processes of elements, with distinct distributions among different stone types. This variability in element content among stone types could serve as valuable guidance for patient dietary considerations.

The adsorption of potentially toxic element ions from contaminated water sources has garnered significant attention due to its critical role in environmental remediation and ensuring safe drinking water. Potentially toxic element ions can be removed from water using conventional adsorbents such as activated zeolites; however, these materials have low absorption and slow kinetics. To solve these issues, carbon-based adsorbents that exhibit easy synthesis, high porosity, designability, and stability have been proposed. In this study, a carbon-based adsorbent, named Magnetic Nitrogen-Doped Carbon (M-NC), and graphene oxide were developed for the selective removal of potentially toxic element ions. To increase the potential for HM immobilization, sulfide-modified biochar was created via a process called simultaneous carbon layer encapsulation. A theoretical physicochemical and thermodynamic investigation of the adsorption of potentially toxic elements s Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, Ag2+, Pb2+ and Cu2+ on carbon-based adsorbents was performed with statistical physics fundaments. The biochar with large surface areas is used to remove potentially toxic element ions, one of the most important potentially toxic element pollutants, from aqueous solutions. The capacity of the adsorbent for removing potentially toxic element ions was studied using Langmuir adsorption isotherm under ultrasound-assisted conditions. The MNCs can be applied to the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. It is possible to use the Langmuir and second-order kinetic equations to accurately explain the adsorption method. Thermodynamic limitations were also envisioned because sorption is exothermic when it happens spontaneously. A homogeneous statistical physics adsorption model was used to describe and analyze the experimental potentially toxic element removal isotherms at 30 °C and pH5 utilizing adsorbents produced by pyrolysis of biomasses (broccoli stalks). The findings show the proposed adsorbent, with an efficiency of 98.7 % and even reaching 99.3 % in certain cases, making it a standout choice for potentially toxic element removal applications. This research holds significance in advancing the understanding of environmentally sustainable potentially toxic element removal processes, particularly in the context of biomass-derived adsorbents, offering potential solutions for water purification and environmental remediation.

To increase the potential for HM immobilization, sulfide-modified biochar was created via a process called simultaneous carbon layer encapsulation. A theoretical physicochemical and thermodynamic investigation of the adsorption of potentially toxic elements s Zn<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>, Cd<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>, Ni<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>, Ag<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>, Pb<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> and Cu<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> on carbon-based adsorbents was performed with statistical physics fundaments. The biochar with large surface areas is used to remove potentially toxic element ions, one of the most important potentially toxic element pollutants, from aqueous solutions. The capacity of the adsorbent for removing potentially toxic element ions was studied using Langmuir adsorption isotherm under ultrasound-assisted conditions. The MNCs can be applied to the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. It is possible to use the Langmuir and second-order kinetic equations to accurately explain the adsorption method. Thermodynamic limitations were also envisioned because sorption is exothermic when it happens spontaneously. A homogeneous statistical physics adsorption model was used to describe and analyze the experimental potentially toxic element removal isotherms at 30 °C and pH<jats:sub>5</jats:sub> utilizing adsorbents produced by pyrolysis of biomasses (broccoli stalks). The findings show the proposed adsorbent, with an efficiency of 98.7 % and even reaching 99.3 % in certain cases, making it a standout choice for potentially toxic element removal applications. This research holds significance in advancing the understanding of environmentally sustainable potentially toxic element removal processes, particularly in the context of biomass-derived adsorbents, offering potential solutions for water purification and environmental remediation.","PeriodicalId":21162,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Inorganic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141947948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
