The past decade has witnessed a phenomenal rise in nanotechnology research due to its broad range of applications in diverse fields including food safety, transportation, sustainable energy, environmental science, catalysis, and medicine. The distinctive properties of nanomaterials (nano-sized particles in the range of 1 to 100 nm) make them uniquely suitable for such wide range of functions. The nanoparticles when manufactured using green synthesis methods are especially desirable being devoid of harsh operating conditions (high temperature and pressure), hazardous chemicals, or addition of external stabilizing or capping agents. Numerous plants and microorganisms are being experimented upon for an eco–friendly, cost–effective, and biologically safe process optimization. This review provides a comprehensive overview on the green synthesis of metallic NPs using plants and microorganisms, factors affecting the synthesis, and characterization of synthesized NPs. The potential applications of metal NPs in various sectors have also been highlighted along with the major challenges involved with respect to toxicity and translational research.

“…Masoumbaigi et al attempted to investigate efficiency of SCS ZnO nanoparticle against water disinfection using E. coli as an indicator organism by disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimum bactericidal concentration tests. The analyzed outcomes suggested that SCS‐prepared ZnO nanoparticle could be employed as a competent disinfectant, making this method appropriate to use in water‐control systems …”

Solution combustion synthesis (SCS) is a relatively new method for synthesizing catalytic materials with many distinct advantages: simplicity of method, short reaction times, and the capability to regulate crystal lattice parameters and thereby the activity and selectivity of catalysts. Over the last years, SCS has been used for the production and study of a multitude of new catalytic materials. This review considers and discusses the recent developments and trends in SCS of nanocatalysts, while special attention is paid to the development and applications of nanostructured catalysts.

“…Ozone and UV inactivation methods are much safer, but require more energy consumption. Recently, metal-based photocatalysts, such as titanium dioxide (Fernández-Ibáñez et al, 2015;Cavalcante et al, 2016) and zinc oxide (Masoumbaigi et al, 2014), have been extensively investigated as new disinfectants (Cavalcante et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2018). However, most metal-containing photocatalysts are activated by UV light irradiation, which is only 4% of the solar spectrum reaching earth surface (McGuigan et al, 2012;Ng et al, 2020).…”

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as metal-free visible light photocatalyst has recently emerged as a promising candidate for water disinfection. Herein, a nanowire-rich superhydrophilic g-C3N4 film was prepared by a vapor-assisted confined deposition method. With a disinfection efficiency of over 99.99% in 4 h under visible light irradiation, this nanowire-rich g-C3N4 film was found to perform better than conventional g-C3N4 film. Control experiments showed that the disinfection performance of the g-C3N4 film reduced significantly after hydrophobic treatment. The potential disinfection mechanism was investigated through scavenger-quenching experiments, which indicate that H2O2 was the main active specie and played an important role in bacteria inactivation. Due to the metal-free composition and excellent performance, photocatalytic disinfection by nanowire-rich g-C3N4 film would be a promising and cost-effective way for safe drinking water production.
