Commercial P fertilizers have low efficiency of delivery and utilization and are lost from plant root zones by either low availability or leaching or surface runoff that leads to environmental damage. This review investigates how nano P fertilizers (NPFs) can overcome the current inefficiencies of conventional formulations and, thus, enhance plant yield while minimizing negative environmental impacts. NPFs have significant potential for augmenting plant germination by more effectively penetrating seed coatings and facilitating greater water and nutrient uptake. The nanoscale nature of NPF also uniquely facilitates greater P absorption by roots, which in turn enhances chlorophyll synthesis, improves light absorption, and optimizes electron transport efficiency—key factors in boosting plant photosynthesis. Additionally, it stimulates overall physiological processes (e.g., secondary metabolite production, root exudation), increases antioxidant enzyme activities, and enhances plant yield. NPFs can also minimize the accumulation of toxic elements by several mechanisms, including controlling contaminant bioavailability in soil by enhancing competing plant essential element (e.g., P, Ca) uptake. Moreover, NPFs also mediate soil pH, which has important implications for soil biogeochemistry in low-pH agricultural areas. Soil microbiomes and associated processes will often improve with NPF application relative to conventional P formulations. Although great potential has been demonstrated, a mechanistic understanding of certain aspects of NPF activity remains incomplete, including impacts across diverse crop species, environmental conditions, and soil types. However, NPFs offer great potential as an important tool in the transformation of conventional agriculture, simultaneously lessening the usage of finite P resources, reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture, and improving future food security.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":653,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanoparticle Research","volume":"27 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143455622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that doping with a single Zn impurity is enough to change the structure of the host magnesium cluster and modify the bonding pattern making the structures more stable. The calculated adiabatic electron affinity and vertical detachment energy of pure magnesium clusters show good agreement with the available experimental data and indicate that Zn doping enhances their stability during the reduction process. The adsorption of Zn atom significantly affects the stability of the magnesium clusters during the oxidation process.

However, due to the strong magnetic characteristics of pure iron, synthesizing pure iron nanoparticles above 15 nm in diameter can be challenging due to the high risk of agglomeration. Therefore, an investigation into creating 20-nm-sized iron nanoparticles was performed utilizing potential surfactants that might prevent agglomeration. A thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl was performed with different surfactants including decylamine (DA), dodecylamine (DDA), hexadecylamine (HDA), octadecylamine (ODA), and dioctyldecylamine (DODA) to determine potential differences in size or composition.

This work aims to deposit AgNPs on polyamide 6,6 fabrics using a hybrid corona-dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor and evaluate their antimicrobial effect as well as their cytotoxicity. Prior to deposition, the fabrics were activated in air plasma at atmospheric pressure. The deposition process was then initiated by nebulizing a silver nanoactive into the system by a flat cavity present in the high-voltage electrode, a distinctive feature that sets this approach apart from other AgNP deposition techniques reported in the literature. The incorporation of AgNPs on polyamide 6,6 fabric surface was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The thermal behavior of the samples was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). To identify the crystalline phases, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were performed on control (without AgNPs) and treated (with AgNPs) samples.
