Biosynthesis of Metal Nanoparticles: Novel Efficient Heterogeneous Nanocatalysts
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review compiles the most recent advances described in literature on the preparation of noble metal nanoparticles induced by biological entities. The use of different free or substituted carbohydrates, peptides, proteins, microorganisms or plants have been successfully applied as a new green concept in the development of innovative strategies to prepare these nanoparticles as different nanostructures with different forms and sizes. As a second part of this review, the application of their synthetic ability as new heterogonous catalysts has been described in C-C bond-forming reactions (as Suzuki, Heck, cycloaddition or multicomponent), oxidations and dynamic kinetic resolutions.

Double shelled hollow nanospheres with dual noble metal nanoparticle encapsulation for enhanced catalytic application.
We report the design and realization of double shelled @CeO2/M@M/TiO2 (M = Au and/or Pd) nanospheres with dual noble metal nanoparticles encapsulated in metal oxide shells via a layer-by-layer deposition process followed by an alkali etching method. The resulting nanospheres possess uniform sizes, variable shell components and thicknesses, adjustable noble metal nanoparticles encapsulated, regu...
متن کاملA Sacrificial Coating Strategy Toward Enhancement of Metal-Support Interaction for Ultrastable Au Nanocatalysts.
Supported gold (Au) nanocatalysts hold great promise for heterogeneous catalysis; however, their practical application is greatly hampered by poor thermodynamic stability. Herein, a general synthetic strategy is reported where discrete metal nanoparticles are made resistant to sintering, preserving their catalytic activities in high-temperature oxidation processes. Taking advantage of the uniqu...
متن کاملRecent advances in noble metal nanocatalysts for Suzuki and Heck cross-coupling reactions.
Since metal nanoparticles have a high surface-to-volume ratio and very active surface atoms, they are very attractive catalysts for a wide variety of organic and inorganic reactions, compared to bulk catalysts. Metal nanoparticles suspended in colloidal solutions and those adsorbed onto bulk supports have been used as catalysts for a wide variety of carbon-carbon bond formation reactions such a...
متن کاملStabilization of ultrafine metal nanocatalysts on thin carbon sheets.
A novel strategy was proposed to anchor ultrafine metal nanoparticles (NPs) on thin carbon sheets for highly stable and efficient heterogeneous catalysts. In this facile approach, a dense monolayer of ultrafine AuNPs was sandwiched between a silica core and a resin shell, followed by carbonization of the shell at a high temperature and then selective removal of the silica core. The shrinkage of...
متن کاملNovel and Efficient Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Curcuma Longa and Zingiber Officinale Rhizome Extracts
Silver particles of nanometric size were prepared from silver sulphate solution using Curcuma Longa and Zingiber Officinale rhizome extracts. The reaction was completed at 3 hours on using Curcuma Longa rhizome extract as reducing agent, making it one of the fastest biosynthesis route reported so far. The plasmon bands at 420 nm in the UV visible spectra are broad with an absorption tail in the...
