This article collection aims to explore the vast possibilities of Selenium and Silicon Nanoparticles, two intriguing materials that have captured the attention of researchers across various fields. Selenium nanoparticles possess attractive properties such as biocompatibility, bioavailability and low toxicity. They show great potential as antioxidants, cancer therapeutic agents, and drug carriers in biological applications. Several studies have supported their anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-biofilm properties.
On the other hand, silicon nanoparticles show remarkable properties such as mesoporous structure, high surface area, tunable pore size/diameter, biocompatibility, modifiability and non-toxicity. They show a vast applicability potential in fields like chemical, biomedical, biotechnology, agriculture, veterinary, environmental remediation and even wastewater purification. Moreover, the molecular mobilizability onto the internal and external surface of the particles makes them excellent carriers for biotic and non-biotic compounds.
This collection covers a wide spectrum of topics, highlighting the versatility and potential of these nanoparticles. The articles in this collection will delve into the synthesis methodologies, characterization techniques, and modification strategies for Selenium and Silicon Nanoparticles. Additionally, their physical, chemical, and biological properties, as well as their potential applications in various different fields will be explored.
