摘要

Silica nanoparticles (SiO2NPs) refer to nanoscale forms of silicon dioxide, representing a versatile platform in materials science and nanotechnology due to their unique physicochemical properties and adaptable structural features. The fungi mediated synthesis of SiO2NPs has emerged as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical and physical methods, offering distinct benefits in the production of nanomaterials. This review aims to provide a critical summary of the current knowledge regarding the mechanisms, properties, and applications of myco-assisted SiO2NPs, emphasizing both their potential and the associated challenges. A thorough literature search and analysis focusing on studies showcasing the biosynthesis, characterization, and functional applications of fungal-based SiO2NPs was performed. This review highlights the ability of fungi to synthesize SiO2NPs with regulated size and shape, enhanced biocompatibility, and low environmental effects. However, inconsistencies in yield and reproducibility continue to pose a major challenge. Fungi such as Aspergillus niger, Penicillium oxalicum can synthesize SiO2NPs through reduction of silicate precursors. The bioremediation potential and insecticidal properties of fungal-assisted SiO2NPs paves towards sustainable and eco-friendly production. The myco-synthesized SiO2NPs also exhibit biomedical applications, such as antimicrobial potential, use as biomarkers, and for medical biosensing. However, future research should focus on the identification of the biomolecules of fungal origin and optimization of reaction conditions to achieve consistency and reproducibility in the morphology and physicochemical properties of myco-assisted SiO2NPs, for the exploration of novel applications in biomedicine, agriculture, and environmental remediation to fully harness the benefits of myco-assisted SiO2NPs.
