“…Magnetic NPs are superior to other nanoparticles because of their unique physicochemical qualities; for example, they are entirely fabricated from precursors that provide them with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) features [ 47 ]. These nanoparticles may be changed with a wide variety of functional groups, opening up the possibility for their usage in diagnostics, gene transfer, non-invasive imaging, agriculture, and biotechnology [ 48 ]. They could open up new possibilities for the binders of agrochemicals, insecticides, and fertilizers.…”

In the twenty-first century, nanotechnology has emerged as a potentially game-changing innovation. Essential minerals are mostly unavailable in modern cropping systems without the application of synthetic fertilizers, which have a serious negative impact on the ecosystem. This review focuses on the coupling of nanoparticles with biofertilizers to function as nano-biofertilizers (NBFs), which may ensure world food security in the face of the rising population. The inoculation of plants with NBFs improves plant development and resistance to stress. Metallic nanoparticles as well as organic components comprising polysaccharide and chitosan may be encapsulated, utilizing microbe-based green synthesis to make NBFs, which circumvents the limitations of conventional chemical fertilizers. The application of NBFs is just getting started, and shows more promise than other approaches for changing conventional farming into high-tech “smart” farming. This study used bibliographic analysis using Web of Science to find relevant papers on “nano biofertilizers”, “plants”, and “agriculture”. These subjects have received a lot of attention in the literature, as shown by the co-citation patterns of these publications. The novel use of nanotechnology in agriculture is explored in this research work, which makes use of the unique characteristics of nanoscale materials to address urgent concerns including nutrient delivery, crop protection, and sustainable farming methods. This study attempts to fill in some of the gaps in our knowledge by discussing the formulation, fabrication, and characterization of NBFs, as well as elucidating the mechanisms by which NBFs interact with plants and how this benefits the ability of the plant to withstand biotic and abiotic stress brought about by climate change. This review also addresses recent developments and future directions in farming using NBF formulations in the field.

“…This targeted delivery minimizes environmental impacts and optimizes nutrient efficiency. Nanocarbon-based nano-fertilizers can improve a plant's tolerance to drought and various stresses [20] . They can stimulate the production of stress-related proteins and antioxidants, helping plants cope with adverse conditions.…”

Nanocarbon materials, with their size and unique properties, have found a range of uses in agriculture. These uses include improving soil quality, managing nutrients, controlling pests, purifying water, and monitoring crop growth. Nanocarbon materials help improve the structure of the soil and retain nutrients, creating an environment where plants can thrive. They also serve as carriers for controlled nutrient release and promote plant development. In pest management, nanocarbon-based formulas deliver pesticides or helpful microorganisms with precise targeting to minimize environmental harm. When it comes to water purification and bioremediation, nanocarbons’ ability to adsorb contaminants makes them a valuable tool for cleaning water sources. Additionally, nanocarbon is used in crop monitoring systems that provide real-time information on plant health and environmental conditions, helping farmers optimize their practices. However, for nanocarbons to be widely adopted in agriculture, safety concerns must be addressed, along with approvals and cost-effectiveness considerations, to ensure their integration into farming methods.

“…The organic matters are converted into a solid phase to form uniform sizes, a better appearance, and a higher surface area of nano-spheres through high-temperature carbonization and activation. Additionally, the as-prepared nano-sphere shows good biocompatibility and electrical conductivity in long-term operation [ 57 ].…”

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are an environmentally friendly technology and a source of renewable energy. It is used to generate electrical energy from organic waste using bacteria, which is an effective technology in wastewater treatment. The anode and the cathode electrodes and proton exchange membranes (PEM) are important components affecting the performance and operation of MFC. Conventional materials used in the manufacture of electrodes and membranes are insufficient to improve the efficiency of MFC. The use of nanomaterials in the manufacture of the anode had a prominent effect in improving the performance in terms of increasing the surface area, increasing the transfer of electrons from the anode to the cathode, biocompatibility, and biofilm formation and improving the oxidation reactions of organic waste using bacteria. The use of nanomaterials in the manufacture of the cathode also showed the improvement of cathode reactions or oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). The PEM has a prominent role in separating the anode and the cathode in the MFC, transferring protons from the anode chamber to the cathode chamber while preventing the transfer of oxygen. Nanomaterials have been used in the manufacture of membrane components, which led to improving the chemical and physical properties of the membranes and increasing the transfer rates of protons, thus improving the performance and efficiency of MFC in generating electrical energy and improving wastewater treatment.
