The intersection of nanotechnology and sustainable engineering has given rise to increased interest in biogenic approaches, i.e., the use of natural biological processes to create metal nanomaterials. This new volume, Biogenic-Based Metal Nanomaterials for Sustainable Engineering Applications, covers this exciting and rapidly evolving field comprehensively, providing a detailed and structured exploration of biogenic metal nanomaterials, from their synthesis and characterization to their diverse applications in sustainable engineering. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, starting with an introduction to the basic principles and advantages of biogenic synthesis and then delving into the various biological agents used in this process, examining how different organisms can be harnessed to produce specific types of metal nanomaterials.
