“…The production of TVE-CuNPs at the absorption band of around 573 nm due to SPR in TVE-CuNPs was verified by UV-Vis spectroscopy [ 22 ]. The TVE includes phytochemicals including phenol and protein amino acids, as well as enzymes that function as reducing and stabilizing agents for the greenly synthesized TVE-CuNPs and may also be responsible for the reduction of Cu+ to Cu0 [ 23 ]. TVE-CuNPs were spherical and monodispersed, with sizes ranging from 10 to 25 nm, and these results are in agreement with those of Suarez-Cerda et al [ 24 ].…”

“…This study’s XRD data revealed the purity of TVE-CuNPs, which is similar to prior research [ 25 , 26 ]. The presence of large absorption peaks in TVE’s FTIR spectra proved the existence of reducing and stabilizing agents, such as proteins, amino acids, and phenolic chemicals (i.e., ellagic acid, thymol, -terpinene, -pinene, carvacrol) [ 23 , 25 ].…”

Caries lesions during cement repairs are a severe issue, and developing a unique antimicrobial restorative biomaterial can help to reduce necrotic lesion recurrence. As a result, Thymus vulgaris extract was used to biosynthesize copper nanoparticles (TVE-CuNPs) exhibiting different characteristics (TVE). Along with TVE-CuNPs, commercial silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and metronidazole were combined with glass ionomer cement (GIC) to test its antibacterial efficacy and compressive strength. FTIR, XRD, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and TEM were applied to characterize the TVE-CuNPs. Additionally, AgNPs and TVE-CuNPs were also combined with metronidazole and GIC. The modified GIC samples were divided into six groups, where groups 1 and 2 included conventional GIC and GIC with 1.5% metromidazole, respectively; group 3 had GIC with 0.5% TVE-CuNPs, while group 4 had 0.5% TVE-CuNPs with metronidazole in 1.5%; group 5 had GIC with 0.5% AgNPs, and group 6 had 0.5% AgNPs with metronidazole at 1.5%. An antimicrobial test was performed against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) by the disc diffusion method and the modified direct contact test (MDCT). GIC groups 4 and 6 demonstrated a greater antimicrobial efficiency against the two tested strains than the other groups. In GIC groups 4 and 6, the combination of GIC with two antimicrobial agents, 1.5% metronidazole and 0.5% TVE-CuNPs or AgNPs, enhanced the antimicrobial efficiency when compared to that of the other groups with or without a single agent. GIC group specimens combined with nanosilver and nanocopper had similar mean compressive strengths when compared to the other GIC groups. Finally, the better antimicrobial efficacy of GIC boosted by metronidazole and the tested nanoparticles against the tested strains may be relevant for the future creation of more efficient and modified restorations to reduce dental caries lesions.

“…Specifically, across various biological organisms and species of the same plant and animal, bioactive chemicals like alkaloids, polypeptides, flavonoids, and polysaccharides differ, 4,175,177–179 and these birth disparities in the potentiality of biogenic entity to produce NPs 175 . Also, because of the fact that the biogenic entity serves as the supplier of electrons for the reduction of metal ion, their concentration or volume is an essential factor that must be controlled during the fabrication of biogenic NPs as it has a great influence on the size, shape, and the band gap energy structure 175,180 . Besides just reducing metal ions, bioreductants also have an impact on the nucleation, growth, and stability of NPs 176 .…”

“…In addition, it was opined that the uptick in the biogenic NPs zeta potential figure with an upsurge in extracts concentration (Figure 9b) might be due to capping with more of the ‐vely charged proteins. Nevertheless, the quicker the reduction of metal salt, the lesser the size of the NPs 180,188 …”

Water is the source of life. But unfortunately, 80% of wastewater is discharged into the aquatic body untreated globally, of which industry is responsible for 70% of such water abstraction through the discharge of pollutants like methyl orange. According to the WWAP, water pollution kills 100 million individuals, 2 million marine animals, and seabirds yearly, and by 2025, it is forecasted that ~1000 million inhabitants in arid zones will experience severe water crisis, and thus, the security of water has become focal outcry due to daily environmental pollution escalation caused by rapid growth in industries and population. Recently, biosynthesized nanoparticles as photocatalysts have answered the call for sustainable treatment of methyl orange dye effluent through photodegradation because of their efficient photoactivity, inexpensiveness, and eco‐benignness. In this review, photocatalytic‐degradation mechanism and pathways of methyl orange in the aquatic environment in the presence of •OH− and •O2− using green nanoparticles were mechanistically discussed. The highest degradation efficiency was found to be 100%, the final mineralization products were H2O and CO2, and the least degradation time taken was 2 min with silver nanoparticles being the most commonly used degrader and plant extracts being the most commonly employed bioreductant for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles.
