“…However, about 90% of pesticides are usually lost or decomposed due to their photolysis, volatilization, leaching, and off-targeting, resulting in the overuse of pesticides, which ultimately poses a huge threat toward the environment and ecological and human health. , Therefore, the development of a nanopesticide delivery system has drawn abundant attention in terms of its prolonged effective release duration, reduced initial burst release, and decreased pesticide dosage. − Pesticide loaded into nanoparticles often exhibits improved bioactivity due to its more uniform spraying over the leaves, easier breakdown of water protection barriers, and increased affinity of pesticides to the targets, compared with traditional formulations . Up to date, a plethora of pesticide delivery systems have been developed with the help of various materials, including mesoporous silica, , clay mineral, carbon nanomaterials, , protein, synthetic polymers, and so on. Porous-structured inorganic materials like mesoporous silica and silicate are often favored due to their low production cost, biocompatibility, and high loading capacity. , For instance, Cao and co-workers developed a novel urease-responsive silica-IPTS-PEI microcapsule to prevent thermal degradation and photodegradation of pendimethalin and achieve sustained pesticide release .…”
