A mini review on the synthesis, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities of Pd NPs
摘要
The use of MNPs in the treatment of microbial infections and cancer is one possible method of addressing health issues. MNPs have many improved physical and chemical properties, making them promising in the areas of antimicrobials and anticancer agents. Pd NPs are highly effective in catalytic reactions, and their electronic structure is influenced by different factors. They are used in various applications, including catalysis, synthesis, fuel cells, electronics, energy storage, antimicrobials, and cancer treatment. Pd NPs can be synthesized using different physical, chemical, and biological methods. In physical approaches, parameters like temperature, pressure, and energy can be regulated. Chemical synthesis techniques yield NPs with appropriate form, size, composition, and surface properties. Green synthesis techniques have been developed as a solution to environmental concerns. This mini-review article provides an overview of Pd NPs, their synthesis, uses, applications, and potential as antimicrobials and anticancer agents. It highlights recent research and future perspectives, discusses common characterization methods, and highlights antibiofilm activity.
