Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2024; 25:20-33. [PMID: 38444982 PMCID: PMC10914561 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2024.02.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
The synthesis of silver nanoparticles with controlled physicochemical properties is essential for governing their intended functionalities and safety profiles. However, synthesis process involves multiple parameters that could influence the resulting properties. This challenge could be addressed with the development of predictive models that forecast endpoints based on key synthesis parameters. In this study, we manually extracted synthesis-related data from the literature and leveraged various machine learning algorithms. Data extraction included parameters such as reactant concentrations, experimental conditions, as well as physicochemical properties. The antibacterial efficiencies and toxicological profiles of the synthesized nanoparticles were also extracted. In a second step, based on data completeness, we employed regression algorithms to establish relationships between synthesis parameters and desired endpoints and to build predictive models. The models for core size and antibacterial efficiency were trained and validated using a cross-validation approach. Finally, the features' impact was evaluated via Shapley values to provide insights into the contribution of features to the predictions. Factors such as synthesis duration, scale of synthesis and the choice of capping agents emerged as the most significant predictors. This study demonstrated the potential of machine learning to aid in the rational design of synthesis process and paves the way for the safe-by-design principles development by providing insights into the optimization of the synthesis process to achieve the desired properties. Finally, this study provides a valuable dataset compiled from literature sources with significant time and effort from multiple researchers. Access to such datasets notably aids computational advances in the field of nanotechnology.

Data-Driven Quantitative Intrinsic Hazard Criteria for Nanoproduct Development in a Safe-by-Design Paradigm: A Case Study of Silver Nanoforms. ACS APPLIED NANO MATERIALS 2023; 6:3948-3962.

Abstract
The current European (EU) policies, that is, the Green Deal, envisage safe and sustainable practices for chemicals, which include nanoforms (NFs), at the earliest stages of innovation. A theoretically safe and sustainable by design (SSbD) framework has been established from EU collaborative efforts toward the definition of quantitative criteria in each SSbD dimension, namely, the human and environmental safety dimension and the environmental, social, and economic sustainability dimensions. In this study, we target the safety dimension, and we demonstrate the journey toward quantitative intrinsic hazard criteria derived from findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable data. Data were curated and merged for the development of new approach methodologies, that is, quantitative structure-activity relationship models based on regression and classification machine learning algorithms, with the intent to predict a hazard class. The models utilize system (i.e., hydrodynamic size and polydispersity index) and non-system (i.e., elemental composition and core size)-dependent nanoscale features in combination with biological in vitro attributes and experimental conditions for various silver NFs, functional antimicrobial textiles, and cosmetics applications. In a second step, interpretable rules (criteria) followed by a certainty factor were obtained by exploiting a Bayesian network structure crafted by expert reasoning. The probabilistic model shows a predictive capability of ≈78% (average accuracy across all hazard classes). In this work, we show how we shifted from the conceptualization of the SSbD framework toward the realistic implementation with pragmatic instances. This study reveals (i) quantitative intrinsic hazard criteria to be considered in the safety aspects during synthesis stage, (ii) the challenges within, and (iii) the future directions for the generation and distillation of such criteria that can feed SSbD paradigms. Specifically, the criteria can guide material engineers to synthesize NFs that are inherently safer from alternative nanoformulations, at the earliest stages of innovation, while the models enable a fast and cost-efficient in silico toxicological screening of previously synthesized and hypothetical scenarios of yet-to-be synthesized NFs.

Abstract
BiOI nanosheets have been successfully deposited on the porous Bi2O3 nanorobs via a one-pot precipitation method. The physicochemical features of the as-prepared materials were characterized in detail by a series of techniques, and the results revealed that BiOI nanosheets were evenly distributed on the porous Bi2O3 nanorobs. Because of higher photogenerated electron-hole pairs separation efficiency and the larger specific surface area compared to the pristine Bi2O3 and BiOI, the 50%Bi2O3/BiOI composite exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for Cr(VI) reduction under visible light irradiation, and the reduction rate constant was 0.02002 min-1, which was about 27.4 and 2.6 times higher than that of pure Bi2O3 (0.00073 min-1) and BiOI (0.00769 min-1), respectively. Moreover, the 50%Bi2O3/BiOI composite also possessed the excellent photochemical stability and recyclability, thereby facilitating its wastewater treatment application.

Abstract
Increasing the efficiency of dye degradation is a critical issue for the application for photocatalysis. It is one of the greatest challenges to enhance the utilization of photo generated carriers in semiconductor, especially for sunlight irradiation. In this study, I/C-codoped TiO2 was synthesized by a simple solvothermal-calcination method. The codoping interstitial carbon and substitutional iodine not only widened the light absorption range of the TiO2 photocatalysts, but also enhanced the separation of photo-induced carriers. The photocatalytic activities of RhB and MO degradation over the 4-I/C-TiO2 photocatalyst could reach 98.2% and 94.2% after 25 min visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 400 nm), respectively. Notably, 4-I/C-TiO2 showed good activity for MO and RhB mixed degradation and could also accomplish the photocatalytic degradation in the above mixed system under natural sunlight irradiation. According to the dark catalytic experiment, I/C-codoping could effectively accelerate the formation of hydroxyl radicals from the generated H2O2, which was formed for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of dye degradation. The gained knowledge may provide some insights into the photocatalytic degradation over the codoped TiO2 catalyst.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticle-based antimicrobials can promote a long lasting bactericidal effect without detrimental toxic side effects. However, there is not a clear and complete protocol to define and relate the properties of the particles (size, shape, surface charge, ionic content) with their specific activity. In this paper, we propose an effective multi-step approach for the identification of a 'purpose-specific active applicability window' to maximize the antimicrobial activity of medical devices containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) (such as surface coaters), minimizing any consequent risk for human health (safety by design strategy). The antimicrobial activity and the cellular toxicity of four types of Ag NPs, differing in their coating composition and concentration have been quantified. Through the implementation of flow-field flow fractionation, Ag NPs have been characterized in terms of metal release, size and shape. The particles are fractionated in the process while being left unmodified, allowing for the identification of biological particle-specific contribution. Toxicity and inflammatory response in vitro have been assessed on human skin models, while antimicrobial activity has been monitored with both non-pathogenic and pathogenic Escherichia coli. The main benefit associated with such approach is the comprehensive assessment of the maximal effectiveness of candidate nanomaterials, while simultaneously indexing their properties against their safety.

Abstract
Herein an in situ growth of clean palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) on functional reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-coated polystyrene (PS) microspheres is achieved by a simple two-step process. On the basis of the hydrophobic interaction and π-electron interaction, the PS/RGO composite particles are first prepared by the reduction of graphene oxide in the presence of PS microspheres. Second, without using any additional reducing agent or stabilizer, the clean Pd NPs grow in situ on the surface of PS/RGO composite particles in water through a spontaneous redox reaction between Pd2+ and RGO. Significantly, owing to the stabilizer-free surface of Pd NPs and the synergistic effect of RGO and Pd NPs, the resultant PS/RGO@Pd composite particles feature pronounced catalytic activity toward the reduction of p-nitrophenol and Suzuki coupling reactions. Moreover, the catalyst particles can be easily recovered by centrifugation because of the large size of support microspheres and recycled consecutively.

Abstract
Green, inexpensive, and robust copper-based heterogeneous catalysts achieve 100 % conversion and 99 % selectivity in the conversion of furfural to furfuryl alcohol when using cyclopentyl-methyl ether as green solvent and microwave reactors at low H2 pressures and mild temperatures. The utilization of pressurized microwave reactors produces a 3-4 fold increase in conversion and an unexpected enhancement in selectivity as compared to the reaction carried out at the same conditions using conventional autoclave reactors. The enhancement in catalytic rate produced by microwave irradiation is temperature dependent. This work highlights that using microwave irradiation in the catalytic hydrogenation of biomass-derived compounds is a very strong tool for biomass upgrade that offers immense potential in a large number of transformations where it could be a determining factor for commercial exploitation.

Abstract
This work reported the green and facile fabrication of a versatile lignin-AuNP composite, which was readily and remotely encapsulated to form novel liquid marbles. The marbles can stay suspended in water, and show excellent photothermal conversion properties, as well as visual detection and adsorption towards Pb2+. More importantly, the marbles can simultaneously remotely detect and adsorb Pb2+ via co-precipitation by simply controlling the near infrared (NIR) irradiation. It is believed that the remotely-controllable NIR-responsive lignin-AuNPs liquid marble can be used in Pb2+-related reactions. The liquid marble can be placed in the system at the very beginning of the reaction and stably stays on the surface until the reaction has ended. After reacting, upon remote NIR irradiation, the liquid marble bursts to adsorb Pb2+, and the residual Pb2+ can be collected. This facile manipulation strategy does not use complicated nanostructures or sophisticated equipment, so it has potential applications for channel-free microfluidics, smart microreactors, microengines, and so on.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2016; 9:E550. [PMID: 28773672 PMCID: PMC5456855 DOI: 10.3390/ma9070550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2016] [Revised: 07/01/2016] [Accepted: 07/04/2016] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
This work deals with the development of a green and versatile synthesis of stable mono- and bi-metallic colloids by means of microwave heating and exploiting ecofriendly reagents: water as the solvent, glucose as a mild and non-toxic reducer and polyvinylpirrolidone (PVP) as the chelating agent. Particle size-control, total reaction yield and long-term stability of colloids were achieved with this method of preparation. All of the materials were tested as effective catalysts in the reduction of p-nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH₄ as the probe reaction. A synergistic positive effect of the bimetallic phase was assessed for Au/Cu and Pd/Au alloy nanoparticles, the latter showing the highest catalytic performance. Moreover, monoand bi-metallic colloids were used to prepare TiO₂- and CeO₂-supported catalysts for the liquid phase oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfufural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). The use of Au/Cu and Au/Pd bimetallic catalysts led to an increase in FDCA selectivity. Finally, preformed Pd/Cu nanoparticles were incorporated into the structure of MCM-41-silica. The resulting Pd/Cu MCM-41 catalysts were tested in the hydrodechlorination of CF₃OCFClCF₂Cl to CF₃OCF=CF₂. The effect of Cu on the hydrogenating properties of Pd was demonstrated.

Abstract
Oligosaccharide-based amphiphiles were readily prepared by click chemistry from ω-azido-hexanoic or dodecanoic acids with propargyl-functionalized maltoheptaose or xyloglucanoligosaccharides. These amphiphilic compounds were used as capping/stabilizer agents in order to obtain highly stable catalytic silver glyconanoparticles (Ag-GNPs) through the in situ reduction of silver nitrate with NaBH4. With a view to long-term storage, the stabilization was optimized using a multivariate approach, and the nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis, TEM, SAXS, and DLS. In order to explore the functionality of the Ag-GNPs in catalysis, a full kinetic analysis of the reduction of p-nitrophenol by NaBH4 in water and in water/ethanol mixtures was performed under semi-heterogeneous and quasi-homogeneous conditions. A pseudomonomolecular surface reaction was performed, and the kinetic data obtained were treated according to the Langmuir model. The Ag-GNPs were very active, and both substrates adsorbed onto the surface of the nanoparticles. For comparison purposes, the reaction was also performed in the presence of silver-sodium dodecanoate nanoparticles, which showed catalytic activity similar to that of the glyconanoparticles, supporting the choice of the carboxyl group as the stabilizing agent, although it provided much lower temporal stability. Finally, by combining kinetic and water/ethanol surface tension data it was possible to observe the effect of the addition of the less polar solvent (ethanol) to the reaction medium.
