Mycofabrication of Iron Nanoparticles: Applications and Future Prospectus

This review article is concerned with the environmentally benign manufacturing of nanoparticles using microorganisms, particularly fungi. To create nanoparticles, scientists and researchers have Used a variety of physical and chemical processes and procedures. However, these types of nanoparticles are not environmentally friendly and frequently allow for the release of hazardous substances, which could have a negative impact on both humans and the environment. As a result, it is crucial to develop affordable and eco-friendly nanoparticle synthesis techniques and adopt green syntheses by utilizing natural microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, algae etc. Fungi are the main focus for shaping these materials into nanoparticles since they can help cut processing time and manufacture nanoparticles in the proper size and form. They are the favoured biological materials as the synthesized nanoparticles are non-toxic, thus energy efficiency is improved along with reduced environmental pollution. This is also the main justification for using fungal microorganisms in the synthesis of nanoparticles to produce ideal and non-toxic materials, which can assist to lessen the effects on the environment, improve energy efficiency, and reduce environmental pollution. The biological mechanism by which fungi synthesize iron nanoparticles, the development of diverse forms of iron nanoparticles by fungi, and the use of novel nanoparticles in the currently emerging industry are the main focus of this review.
