Characterization of Bimetallic Pd-Fe Nanoparticles Synthesized in <i>Escherichia coli</i>.

ABSTRACT: Biologically mediated nanoparticle (NP) synthesis offers a reliable and sustainable alternative route for metal NP production. Compared with conventional chemical and physical production methods that require hazardous materials and considerable energy expenditure, some microorganisms can reduce metal ions into NPs during standard metabolic processes. However, to be considered a feasible commercial option, the properties and inherent activity of bio-NPs still need to be significantly improved. In this work, we present an Escherichia coli-mediated synthesis method for catalytically active Pd-Fe NPs. The produced biogenic Pd-Fe NPs with varying Fe content were characterized using complementary analytical techniques to assess their size, composition, and structural properties. In additi
