Green Synthesis of Metal-Organic Biohybrid (Mob) Nanomaterials

Green synthesis of nanomaterials endeavors to reduce the use high energy methods with those that may include lower temperatures and pressures, natural products, bottom-up self-assembly. Here we describe generation metal-organic biohybrids (MOBs) nanoscale features synthesized at physiological (37°C) room temperature (25°C). These MOBs utilized naturally occurring amino acid dimer cystine as biological component, a series metals, including copper, silver, cobalt. The copper- silver- based generated were distinct in size shape. Copper formed elongated high-aspect ratio structures which have named CuHARS. In contrast, self-assembly silver nanoparticles designate AgCysNPs, cobalt particles CoMOBs. Both could be combined copper same reaction vessel carry out green different simultaneously. Post-synthesis polarization light by CuHARS provided one measure distinguish shape
