The Use of Carrageenan and Deep Eutectic Solvents in the Production of Biodegradable Anisotropic Metal Nanoparticles

Abstract

In numerous industries, such as extraction procedures, pharmaceuticals, medicine, metallurgy, electrodeposition, separation, gas recovery, biocatalysts, and nanotechnology, natural deep eutectic solvents (NDES) are employed as a novel green solvent. They are employed in many sectors primarily because of their qualities, including simplicity, environmental friendliness, biocompatibility, and multifunctionality. Plasmonic metals, like gold and silver, have peculiar physicochemical characteristics, including intriguing plasmonic, optical, and catalytic capabilities, as well as surface modification with easily controllable size and shape.
