“…The solvation property and the conductivity of DESs also play a critical role in determining the physical structure, yield, and morphology of the products in chemical synthesis. This is also evident from the studies tabulated in Table 2, where the obtained shapes are given together with the eutectic mixture and precursor material used [79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87].…”

Plasmonic metal nanoparticles are widely used for many applications due to their unique optical and chemical properties. Over the past decade, anisotropic metal nanoparticles have been explored for imaging, sensing, and diagnostic applications. The variations and flexibility of tuning the size and shape of the metal nanoparticles at the nanoscale made them promising candidates for biomedical applications such as therapeutics, diagnostics, and drug delivery. However, safety and risk assessment of the nanomaterials for clinical purposes are yet to be made owing to their cytotoxicity. The toxicity concern is primarily due to the conventional synthesis route that involves surfactants as a structure-directing agent and as a capping agent for nanoparticles. Wet chemical methods employ toxic auxiliary chemicals. However, the approach yields monodispersed nanoparticles, an essential criterion for their intended application and a limitation of the green synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts. Several biocompatible counterparts such as polymers, lipids, and chitosan-based nanoparticles have been successfully used in the synthesis of safe nanomaterials, but there were issues regarding reproducibility and yield. Enzymatic degradation was one of the factors responsible for limiting the efficacy. Hence, it is necessary to develop a safer and nontoxic route towards synthesizing biocompatible nanomaterials while retaining morphology, high yield, and monodispersity. In this regard, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and carrageenan as capping agent for nanoparticles can ensure the safety. Carrageenan has the potential to act as antibacterial and antiviral agent, and adds enhanced stability to the nanoparticles. This leads to a multidimensional approach for utilizing safe nanomaterials for advanced biomedical and clinical applications.

“…The use of deep eutectic solvents as both solvents and structure-directing agents to synthesize metal oxide nanoparticles was reported in the literature, such as in the synthesis of zeolite analogues, 11 ZnCo 2 O 4 as a supercapacitor material, 12 TiO 2 nanoparticles, 9,13 as an electrolyte for electrochromic devices, 14 for cathode recycling in lithium ion batteries, 15 and synthesis of reduced graphene oxide. 16 Moreover, DESs have been proved as efficient alternatives to commonly used acids such as HF and amines in the synthesis of faceted metal oxides and have exhibited high efficiency in photocatalysis as well as in photovoltaics.…”
