Highlights
Nanomaterials possess valuable physical and chemical properties, which may make them excellent candidates for the development of new insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, drugs, catalysts, and sensors, to cite just some key categories
To avoid the utilization of toxic or high-energy inputs, which are routinely used in nano-synthesis, the “green synthesis” concept has been proposed, outlining the use of microbial, animal, and plantborne compounds as reducing and stabilizing agents
Particular attention has been devoted to entomological research, because the widespread overuse of synthetic insecticides leads to the rapid development of resistance in target species, and non-target effects on human health and the environment
Summary
Nanomaterials possess valuable physical and chemical properties, which may make them excellent candidates for the development of new insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, drugs, catalysts, and sensors, to cite just some key categories. To avoid the utilization of toxic or high-energy inputs, which are routinely used in nano-synthesis, the “green synthesis” concept has been proposed, outlining the use of microbial-, animal-, and plantborne compounds as reducing and stabilizing agents.
