Biogenic Platinum Nanoparticles’ Production by Extremely Acidophilic Fe(III)-Reducing Bacteria
Platinum nanoparticles (Pt(0)NPs) are expected to play a vital role in future technologies as high-performance catalysts. The microbiological route for Pt(0)NPs’ production is considered a greener and simpler alternative to conventional methods. In order to explore the potential utility of extreme a...
