Green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles and their catalytic activity for the reduction of aldehydes

Advanced metal oxide-based nanocatalysts for the oxidative synthesis of fine chemicals

“…On similar lines, Stella et al judiciously utilized immature fruit extract of Cocos nucifera as reducing and stabilizing agent for synthesizing three metal oxide nanoparticles namely CuO, NiO and Fe 2 O 3 whose catalytic efficiency was further evaluated in the catalytic reduction of aromatic aldehydes using ammonium formate as the hydrogen donor. 46 Catalytic studies revealed the superiority of NiO nanoparticles as they led to the formation of corresponding alcohols in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions compared to other synthesized nanoparticles. A comparative analysis of all the synthetic approaches has been provided in Table 1.…”

Nano-Drug Delivery Systems Entrapping Natural Bioactive Compounds for Cancer: Recent Progress and Future Challenges

“…Magnetic NPs (MN) are employed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Using zirconium oxide NPs, the antifungal activity of neem and aloe vera formulations was sustained and increased ( 241 ). In recent years, inorganic NPs have been synthesized and conjugated with tiny drugs for a variety of therapies.…”

Green synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticle using Lactobacillus sp. a literature review

“…on MRS-broth media, also gave positive results in terms of adsorption ability. Synthesizing nanoparticles using medium from plants, horticultural food waste extracts, and microorganisms has been researched [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The choice of using Lactobacillus sp in the synthesis of photocatalyst nanoparticles was mentioned in the study of Jha et al [5], which are prokaryotic, non-pathogenic bacteria, grampositive, anaerobic-mesophilic microbes, and have adaptability and high metabolism.…”
