Abstract EN
Ultra-small nanoparticles (USNPs) of noble metals have a great potential in a variety of applications due to their high surface areas and high reactivity.
This work employed electrochemically active biofilms (EABs) composed of a single bacterium strain of Shewanella loihica PV-4 and successfully synthesized USNPs of noble metal Au, Pd, and Pt.
The synthesized USNPs had a size range between 2 and 7 nm and exhibited excellent catalytic performance in dye decomposition.
The results of this work shine light on the use of EABs in nanoparticle synthesis.
