“…Carob leaf extract has been successfully employed as a rapid, non-toxic, facile and green resource for preparation of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles in a single step reaction using Fe(III): Fe(II) and sodium hydroxide solutions (Baxter-Plant et al, 2003). The reaction occurred at a relatively low temperature range in a single-vessel reaction with an average diameter of the monodispersed nanoparticles (4-8 nm) coated with carboxylic groups of respective amide-I and II chain of the proteins present in the extract (Rai et al, 2015).…”

Substances at nanoscale, commonly known as "nanomaterials," have always grabbed the attention of researchers for hundreds of years. Among these different types of nanomaterials, magnetic nanomaterials have been the focus of considerable attention during the last two decades as evidenced by an unprecedented increase in the number of research papers focusing these materials. Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles have occupied a vital position in imaging phenomena; as drug vehicles, controlled/sustained release phenomena and hyperthermia; atherosclerosis diagnosis; prostate cancer. In fact, these are wonderful "theranostic" agents with some under clinical trials for human use. In this review, we have attempted to highlight the advances taking place in the field of magnetic nanoparticles as theranostic agents. Extensive progress has been made in the two most important parameters, namely, control over the size and shape which decide the importance of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles by developing suitable procedures like precipitation, co-precipitation, thermal decomposition, hydrothermal synthesis, microemulsion synthesis and plant mediated synthesis. After using a suitable synthetic route, workers encounter the most daunting task linked with the materials at nanoscale i.e., the protection against corrosion. Only properly protected iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles can be further connected to different functional systems to make building blocks for application in catalysis, biology and medicines. Finally, "theranostics" which is a combined application of imaging and drug delivery has been discussed. With all the potential uses, toxicity of the of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles has been discussed.

“…Many authors have reiterated the scope for bio-PM catalysts (e.g. reviews by Deplanche et al, 2011;De Corte et al, 2012;Castro et al, 2014;Kulkarni and Maddapur, 2014;Rai et al, 2015;Singh, 2015;Ashok, 2016). A consultancy report (Catalytic Technology Management, unpublished, 2009) concluded that a 'me too' catalyst must be more active than those currently available, cheaper or both.…”

SummaryMicrobially generated or supported nanocatalysts have potential applications in green chemistry and environmental application. However, precious (and base) metals biorefined from wastes may be useful for making cheap, low‐grade catalysts for clean energy production. The concept of bionanomaterials for energy applications is reviewed with respect to potential fuel cell applications, bio‐catalytic upgrading of oils and manufacturing ‘drop‐in fuel’ precursors. Cheap, effective biomaterials would facilitate progress towards dual development goals of sustainable consumption and production patterns and help to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy.
