Making the Complicated Simple: A Minimizing Carrier Strategy on Innovative Nanopesticides

Nano-Micro Letters, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(1)

Published: May 14, 2024

The flourishing progress in nanotechnology offers boundless opportunities for agriculture, particularly the realm of nanopesticides research and development. However, concerns have been raised regarding human environmental safety issues stemming from unrestrained use non-therapeutic nanomaterials nanopesticides. It is also important to consider whether current development strategy based on nanocarriers can strike a balance between investment return, if complex material composition genuinely improves efficiency, safety, circularity Herein, we introduced concept with minimizing carriers (NMC) prepared through prodrug design molecular self-assembly emerging as practical tools address limitations, compared it employing (NNC). We further summarized NMC examined potential challenges its preparation, performance, production. Overall, asserted that systems serve innovative driving force catalyzing green efficient revolution nanopesticides, offering way out predicament.

Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology in Agricultural Pesticide Delivery: A Review

Langmuir, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 40(36), P. 18806 - 18820

Published: Aug. 23, 2024

Pesticides play a crucial role in ensuring food production and security. Conventional pesticide formulations can not meet the current needs of social economic development, they also requirements green agriculture. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop efficient, stable, safe, environmentally friendly gradually replace old which have high pollution low efficacy. The rise nanotechnology provides new possibilities for innovation formulations. Through reasonable design construction delivery system (PDS) based on multifunctional nanocarriers, drawbacks conventional pesticides be effectively solved, realizing water-based, nanosized, targeted, safe system. In past five years, researchers chemistry, materials science, botany, entomology, plant protection, other fields are paying close attention research nanomaterials PDSs nanopesticide made certain achievements. These explorations provide useful references promoting nanopesticides developing generation This Perspective summarizes recent advances innovation, aiming guidance carrier selection, surface engineering, controlled release conditions, application

Nanomaterials and their role in advancing biodiesel feedstock production: A comprehensive review

Biofuel Research Journal, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 10(03), P. 1901 - 1932

Published: Sept. 1, 2023

Sustainable socio-economic development largely depends on the sustainability of energy supply from economic, environmental, and public health perspectives. Fossil fuel combustion only meets first element this equation is hence rendered unsustainable. Biofuels are advantageous a perspective, but their environmental economic might be questioned considering conflicts surrounding feedstocks, including land use change vs. food conflict. Therefore, it imperative to put more effort into addressing downsides biofuel production using advanced technologies, such as nanotechnology. In light that, review strives scrutinize latest developments in application nanotechnology producing biodiesel, promising alternative fossil diesel with proven benefits. The main focus placed applications feedstock stage. First, findings concerning nanomaterials nanofertilizers nanopesticides improve performance oil crops presented critically discussed. Then, most results reported recently applying boost biomass by microalgae facilitating harvesting reviewed mechanistically explained. Finally, promises held enhance animal fat livestock, poultry, aquaculture systems elaborated. Despite favorable features biodiesel production, presence nanoparticles living also associated important challenges, which covered discussed work.

ZIF-8@Hydroxyapatite Composite as a High Potential Material for Prolonged Delivery of Agrochemicals

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(22), P. 29305 - 29313

Published: May 27, 2024

Although agrochemical practices can enhance agricultural productivity, their intensive application has resulted in the deterioration of ecosystems. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more efficient and less toxic methods against pests infections while improving crop productivity. Moving toward sustainable development, this work, we originally described preparation a composite (ZIF-8@HA) consisting coating zeolitic-like metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 (based on Zn, an essential micronutrient plants with antibacterial, antifungal, antifouling properties) hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles (i.e., nanofertilizer). The interaction between HA been characterized through combination techniques, such as microscopic where presence demonstrated; or by analysis surface charge dramatic change Z-potential (from +18.7 ± 0.8 -27.6 0.7 mV for ZIF-8@HA, respectively). Interestingly, delays MOF degradation 4 h pristine 168 HA-coated material), providing slower gradual release zinc. After comprehensive characterization, potential combined fertilizer bactericidal effect ZIF-8@HA was investigated wheat (Triticum aestivum) seeds Pseudomonas syringae (Ps). (7.3 ppm) demonstrated great effect, increasing shoot (9.4 %) root length (27.1 after 11 days at 25 °C under dark conditions, results obtained HA, ZIF-8, ZnSO4 even physically mixed constituents (HA + ZIF-8). It also effective growth inhibition (>80 % inhibition) Ps, vegetal pathogen causing considerable decline. work demonstrates MOF@HA composites paves way promising improved antibacterial properties.
