About this Research Topic
The green method of nanocatalyst synthesis decreases the toxic chemicals used during metal and metal oxide-based catalyst synthesis. In the green synthesis method, the biogenic constituents can serve as a reducing, capping, and stabilizing agent. The catalysts prepared in the biogenic green synthesis method apply for different applications such as photocatalytic degradation of the pollutants, pollutants adsorption, and antimicrobial activity. The catalytic activity of the catalyst synthesized by the biogenic green synthesis method can be higher due to the surface area increase, particle size reduction, optical properties, and charge kinetics improvement due to the biogenic constituents present during the synthesis of the catalysts.
The desired contribution topics should be the ones detailed below, but not limited to these:
• Green synthesis of metal and metal oxide-based nanocatalysts
• Photocatalytic degradation and adsorption of pollutants by green synthesized metal and metal oxide-based nanocatalysts
• Reduction of organic and inorganic pollutants
• Antimicrobial activity
• Full-length article
• Review article
Keywords: Photocatalysis, Adsorption, Green Synthesis, Metal Oxide, Nanocatalyst
