Abstract
Technological progress has led to the development of analytical tools that promise a huge socio-economic impact on our daily lives and an improved quality of life for all. The use of plant extract synthesized nanoparticles in the development and fabrication of optical or electrochemical (bio)sensors presents major advantages. Besides their low-cost fabrication and scalability, these nanoparticles may have a dual role, serving as a transducer component and as a recognition element, the latter requiring their functionalization with specific components. Different approaches, such as surface modification techniques to facilitate precise biomolecule attachment, thereby augmenting recognition capabilities, or fine tuning functional groups on nanoparticle surfaces are preferred for ensuring stable biomolecule conjugation while preserving bioactivity. Size optimization, maximizing surface area, and tailored nanoparticle shapes increase the potential for robust interactions and enhance the transduction. This article specifically aims to illustrate the adaptability and effectiveness of these biosensing platforms in identifying precise biological targets along with their far-reaching implications across various domains, spanning healthcare diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and diverse bioanalytical fields. By exploring these applications, the article highlights the significance of prioritizing the use of natural resources for nanoparticle synthesis. This emphasis aligns with the worldwide goal of envisioning sustainable and customized biosensing solutions, emphasizing heightened sensitivity and selectivity.

Wang F, Zheng Y, Ning J. Biogenic preparation of copper oxide nanoparticles using table olive: Catalytic reduction, cytotoxicity, and burn wound healing activities. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:116995. [PMID: 37633630 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
Green strategy for the preparation of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using table olive has been researched in the present work. Some characterization assays viz., transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) was used for evaluation of the crystal structure, size and morphology of the manufactured NPs. As a catalyst, the prepared material demonstrated remarkable catalytic capability (>99% in 4 min) for the reduction of rhodamine B using sodium borohydride. In addition, the treated cells with the CuO NPs were examined by regarding the cytotoxicity properties on normal (HUVEC) cell line. The results showed that the prepared CuO NPs did not have any cytotoxicity effects on HUVEC (up to 500 μg/mL). Furthermore, in vivo experiments on burn wounds in rats show that the synthesized CuO NPs ointment significantly diminished (p ≤ 0.01) the wound area. On the other hand, the wound contracture factor was increased in comparison with the control groups. Collectively, the CuO NPs prepared by biological method have potential applications in organic pollutants reduction and wound care applications. In this viewpoint, CuO NPs may be considered as an effective for treatment of different wounds including burn wounds or injuries from surgeries such as plastic surgery.

Abstract
Highly-effective photocatalyst of NiO/g-C3N4 with was successfully synthesized by using phyto-mediated-synthesized nickel nanoparticles. The preparation was initiated by synthesizing nickel nanoparticles by using Tinosphora cordifolia stem extract under ultrasound-assisted method followed by the dispersing onto g-C3N4 structure. The study focused on physicochemical characterization and photocatalytic activity as function of the percentage of Ni in the nanocomposite. The photocatalytic activity examinations were carried out to rhodamine B and tetracycline photocatalytic oxidation. The results demonstrated that graphitic carbon nitride is effectively improved the photocatalytic activity of NiO for both photocatalytic oxidation reactions. From the varied Ni content of 5; 10; and 20 %wt., it was also found that the highest photoactivity was achieved by the composite having 10 %wt. of nickel content. The high effectivity was showed by degradation efficiency of 95% toward Rhodamine B and 98% toward tetracycline. The examination on effect of scavengers suggests that Z-scheme involved in the photocatalytic mechanism which facilitated the efficient separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs under visible light illumination. In summary, the present findings provide a green approach for fabricating the effective photocatalysts for organic contaminant degradation.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to prepare low-cost catalyst for green diesel conversion from vegetable oil. The catalyst of nickel-dispersed biochar (Ni/BC) was prepared by direct pyrolysis of nickel precursor with palm leaves waste under N2 stream at 500 °C. The obtained catalyst was examined by using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive x-ray, transmission electron microscopy, gas sorption analysis, FTIR and surface acidity examination. The catalytic activity testing was performed on rice bran oil hydrodeoxygenation at varied temperature and time of reaction. Based on analyses, the results showed the successful preparation of Ni/BC with the characteristic of single nickel nanoparticles decorated on surface. The increasing specific surface area of material was conclusively remarked the surface area enhancement by nickel dispersion along with the increased surface acidity, suggesting that the material can be applied for acid catalysis applications. The Ni/BC exhibited excellent catalytic conversion of rice bran oil with the high selectivity toward diesel fraction with 85.3% yield and 92.6% selectivity.

Abstract
The present study reports an eco-friendly synthesis method of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using two different extracts (aqueous and ethanolic) of Tagetes erecta flowers. When exposed to different biocompounds found in the plant, silver ions are reduced, thus, resulting in the green synthesis of nanoparticles. After performing the optimization of synthesis, the obtained AgNPs were characterized using various techniques. The UV–Vis spectrum of the synthesized nanoparticles showed maximum peaks at 410 and 420 nm. TEM analysis revealed that the particles were spherical with a size ranging from 10 to 15 nm, and EDX analysis confirmed the presence of silver metal. The average diameter value obtained through DLS analysis for the two types of AgNPs (obtained using aqueous and ethanolic extracts) was 104 and 123 nm. The Zeta potentials of the samples were −27.74 mV and −26.46 mV, respectively, which indicates the stability of the colloidal solution. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities assays showed that nanoparticles obtained using the aqueous extract presented enhanced antioxidant activity compared to the corresponding extract, with both types of AgNPs exhibiting improved antifungal properties compared to the initial extracts.
