| description | The biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles by plants, bacteria, and cells has been receiving considerable attention in recent years. The traditional synthesis of metal nanoparticles always needed high temperatures, high pressure, and toxic agents. However, the biosynthesis process (including bioreduction and biomineralization) is simpler, safe, economical, and green. The process of biosynthesis can insulate toxic agents, streamline flux, increase the transition efficiency of interactants, and improve the product yield. The biosynthesized metal nanoparticles share similar characteristics with traditional ones, serving as photosensors to achieve light-to-heat/energy transduction, or a drug delivery system. The biosynthetic metal nanoparticles thus could be widely applied in the medical field for disease diagnosis and treatment. It contributed a novel modality for the facile and green synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Increasing studies have been exploring the mechanism for the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles, devoted to a controllable biosynthesis process. Combined with our previous studies on the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles with green tea, tumor cells, and cell components, we reviewed the green methods of bioreduction and biomineralization of metal nanoparticles including the internal mechanism, aimed to make a comprehensive introduction to the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles and relevant biomedical applications, and inspired further research. |
