THomogeneous Biogenic Paramagnetic Nanoparticle Synthesis Based on a Microfluidic Droplet Generator

摘要

The homeostasis process endows microbes with an intrinsic ability to assemble metal ions to form a metal nanoparticle inside. This nanoparticle synthesis strategy inspired from nature can be adapted by using microorganisms as a nanoparticle factory under mild conditions, such as neutral pH, an aqueous phase, and room temperature. Such an eco-friendly biogenic nanoparticle synthesis has advantages over the conventional chemical methods, which require high temperatures, toxic reagents, and large energy sources.
