Article Abstract

This review portrays a comparison between green protocols and conventional nanoparticle (NP) synthesis strategies, highlighting each method's advantages and limitations. Various top-down and bottom-up methods in NP synthesis are described in detail. The green chemistry principles are emphasized for designing safe processes for nanomaterial synthesis. Among the green biogenic sources plant extracts, vitamins, enzymes, polysaccharides, fungi (Molds and mushrooms), bacteria, yeast, algae, and lichens are discussed. Limitations in the reproducibility of green protocols in terms of availability of raw material, variation in synthetic protocol, and selection of material due to geographical differences are elaborated. Finally, a conclusion is drawn utilizing green chemical principles, & a circular economy strategy to minimize waste generation, offering a promising framework for the synthesis of NPs emphasizing sustainability.

Peptide Sequence Modulating the Analytical Performance of Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence Peptide-Based Biosensors for Matrix Metalloproteinase 2.

Anal Chem

September 2025

Key Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry for Life Science of Shaanxi Province, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi'an 710062, P. R. China.

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) methods have been widely used in clinical diagnosis. Although ECL peptide-based biosensors continue to grow with good sensitivity and signal flexibility, little emphasis has been placed on the effect of the peptide sequence on ECL sensitivity. We herein studied the nuanced effects of different peptide sequences on the analytical performance of ECL peptide-based biosensors for matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) assay, in which [(pbz)Ir(DMSO)Cl] (pbz = 3-(2-pyridyl)benzoic acid) was used as the ECL emitter while a specific peptide was used as the molecular recognition element.

Rational Design and Applications of Ultrasmall Gold Nanoparticles.

Top Curr Chem (Cham)

September 2025

Center for Advanced Materials Research, Research Institute of Sciences and Engineering, University of Sharjah, 27272, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.

Controlling the size of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been critical in diagnostics, biomolecular sensing, targeted therapy, wastewater treatment, catalysis, and sensing applications. Ultrasmall AuNPs (uAuNPs), with sizes Ranging from 2 to 5 nm, and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), with sizes less than 2 nm, are often dealt with interchangeably in the literature, making it challenging to review them separately. Although they are grouped in our discussion, their chemical and physical properties differ significantly, partly due to their electronic properties.

In this study, a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method was used to synthesize a novel gold-yttrium trimesic acid metal-organic framework (Au-Y-TMA MOF), demonstrating significant improvements over conventional single-metal MOFs, that is, yttrium trimesic acid (Y-TMA), in both supercapacitor applications and electrochemical antibiotic detection. The X-ray diffraction patterns of Au-Y-TMA confirmed the presence and impact of Au in the Y-TMA matrix, while field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images revealed a heterogeneous combination of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Y-TMA, suggesting a nonuniform distribution and possible interaction. The developed half-cell supercapacitor exhibited a remarkable capacitance value of 1836 F/g at a current density of 5 A/g by galvanostatic charging-discharging (GCD) measurement.

Enzymatic Anisotropic Growth of Gold Nanoparticles Based on DNA Origami Templates.

Small Methods

September 2025

Institute of Analytical Chemistry and Instrument for Life Science, The Key Laboratory of Biomedical Information Engineering of Ministry of Education, School of Life Science and Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xianning West Road, Xi'an, Shaanxi, 710049, P. R. China.

Anisotropic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit unique physicochemical properties that render them highly valuable for diverse applications. However, precise control over their growth direction and number of branches is challenging with conventional synthesis methods. A DNA origami-templated enzymatic synthesis strategy addresses this limitation.
