“…Many experiments are focused on the combination of existing biomaterials with metal nanoparticles. Indeed, the antimicrobial potential of metal nanoparticles has been studied in detail by numerous researchers (e.g., [ 260 , 261 , 262 , 263 , 264 , 265 , 266 , 267 , 268 , 269 ]). Based on recent evidence, metal nanoparticles may also have an important role to play in the diagnosis and even treatment of cancer [ 270 , 271 ]; this can be important in cases of bone degeneration and even fracturing due to cancer [ 272 , 273 ].…”

The incidence of microbial infections in orthopedic prosthetic surgeries is a perennial problem that increases morbidity and mortality, representing one of the major complications of such medical interventions. The emergence of novel technologies, especially 3D printing, represents a promising avenue of development for reducing the risk of such eventualities. There are already a host of biomaterials, suitable for 3D printing, that are being tested for antimicrobial properties when they are coated with bioactive compounds, such as antibiotics, or combined with hydrogels with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, such as chitosan and metal nanoparticles, among others. The materials discussed in the context of this paper comprise beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP), hydroxyapatite, lithium disilicate glass, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF), poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC), and zirconia. While the recent research results are promising, further development is required to address the increasing antibiotic resistance exhibited by several common pathogens, the potential for fungal infections, and the potential toxicity of some metal nanoparticles. Other solutions, like the incorporation of phytochemicals, should also be explored. Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) in the development of certain orthopedic implants and the potential use of AI against bacterial infections might represent viable solutions to these problems. Finally, there are some legal considerations associated with the use of biomaterials and the widespread use of 3D printing, which must be taken into account.

“…The synergistic effect of endophytes and nanoparticles in water remediation has been widely explored in recent studies, revealing compelling results. He et al [ 76 ] and Kamyab et al [ 77 ] highlight the potential of nanomaterials in water treatment, with the former emphasizing their use in polymer composites and the latter focusing on their catalytic and antimicrobial properties. Bhandari and Shukla [ 78 ] further demonstrated, respectively, the efficacy of biomass-derived nanocomposites in pollutant removal and disinfection and the use of iron-based nanoparticles as adsorbents in water purification.…”

Endophytic microorganisms contribute significantly to water bioremediation by enhancing pollutant degradation and supporting aquatic plant health and resilience by releasing bioactive compounds and enzymes. These microorganisms inhabit plant tissues without causing disease or any noticeable symptoms. Endophytes effectively aid in eliminating contaminants from water systems. Nanoparticles serve as potent enhancers in bioremediation processes, augmenting the efficiency of pollutant degradation by increasing surface area and bioavailability, thereby improving the efficacy and rate of remediation. Their controlled nutrient release and ability to stabilize endophytic colonization further contribute to the enhanced and sustainable elimination of contaminated environments. The synergistic effect of endophytes and nanoparticles in water remediation has been widely explored in recent studies, revealing compelling outcomes. Water pollution poses significant threats to human health, ecosystems, and economies; hence, the sixth global goal of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 of the United Nations aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water resources, recognizing their crucial importance for current and future generations. Conventional methods for addressing water pollution exhibit several limitations, including high costs, energy-intensive processes, the production of hazardous by-products, and insufficient effectiveness in mitigating emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and microplastics. Noticeably, there is an inability to effectively remove various types of pollutants, thus resulting in incomplete purification cycles. Nanoparticle-enhanced water bioremediation offers an innovative, eco-friendly alternative for degrading contaminants. A growing body of research has shown that integrating endophytic microorganisms with nanoparticles for water bioremediation is a potent and viable alternative. This review examines the potential of using endophytic microorganisms and nanoparticles to enhance water remediation, exploring their combined effects and applications in water purification. The paper also provides an overview of synthetic methods for producing endophyte–nanoparticle composites to optimize their remediation capabilities in aqueous environments. The final section of the review highlights the constraints related to integrating endophytes with nanoparticles.

Co 9 S 8 have been successfully synthesized onto nickel foam via a solvothermal method. The prepared heterostructured nanocage demonstrates outstanding electrochemical properties such as excellent specific capacitance (3409 mC cm −2 at 1 mA cm −2 ) and superior capacity retention (96.38% retention after 7000 charge−discharge cycles at 10 mA cm −2 ). The asymmetrical supercapacitor fabricated by reduced graphene oxide and Co(OH)F@NiCo-LDH/Co 9 S 8 showed an excellent energy density of 37.2 W h kg −1 at a power density of 800 W kg −1 and superior capacity storage (87.63% retention after 5000 cycles of charge−discharge). This suggests that the composite has excellent performance for electrochemical supercapacitor applications. The unique combination of materials and structural design strategy employed highlight the significant advancements to develop high-performance supercapacitors, positioning this study at the cutting edge of nanomaterials research in energy applications.
