A Systematic Review on Synthesis and Applications of Bimetallic Nanoparticles

Abstract

The increasing frequency of antimicrobial drug resistance among pathogenic microbes has created an immense global threat to the public healthcare sector. For that, use of bimetallic nanoparticle can be the promising approach which has low cost of fabrication with environmental friendliness, widespread availability, and long-term sustainability. Several metals, including silver, cobalt, nickel, and palladium, have been examined in the form of NPs. They have distinctive properties that have pushed their use in various applications. Due to their modest size-to-volume ratio and high thermal stability, metal nanoparticles are widely used in biological domains. Furthermore, recent research has revealed that transition and noble metal combinations can have synergistic antimicrobial effects. Therefore, this review supports the synthesis and applications of Bi-metallic NPs to cure infections caused by different type of microbes.
