Enhanced Plasmon Based Ag and Au Nanosystems and Their Improved Biomedical Impacts

Abstract

Numerous specialists and academics have backed the improved physicochemical characteristics of metal substrate (Ag, Au) based composite nanoparticles for a number of applications, including pharmaceuticals, optoelectronics, and environmental impact. Insights of Ag and Au NPs-based nanomaterials will be discussed, as well as important production, physicochemical, and biotechnological characteristics. The plasmon capacities of Ag and Au NPs, along with their customisable form, scale, and surface modification could be described by specified geometries and constituent contents. It was revealed that interaction dynamics of Ag and Au implanted nanomaterials with dopants/defects ratios seem to be more effective in stimulating pathogens by interrupting biochemical reactions. As a result, we focus on defect science in Ag and Au-based nanoscale materials, taking into account surface morphology, ionic packing, and chemical phase assessment. This chapter will cover the important optical, geometrical, and physicochemical features of Ag and Au nanomaterials, and their pharmacological significance.
