Abstract:
... Nanostructured manganese oxides (nano-MnOₓ) have shown great promises as versatile agrochemicals in nano-enabled sustainable agriculture, owing to the coupled benefits of controlled release of dissolved Mn²⁺, an essential nutrient needed by plants, and oxidative destruction of environmental organic pollutants. Here, we show that three δ-MnO₂ nanomaterials consisting of nanosheet-assembled flower-l ...

Abstract:
... Metal oxide engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) offer a range of opportunities for sustainable agriculture. Despite ENMs acting as vectors of nutrients to plants, it remains unclear whether they promote the uptake of contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), by plants. The present work revealed that ENMs (SiO₂ nanoparticles, nSiO₂; CeO₂ nanoparticles, nCeO₂; 100 mg L⁻¹) significan ...
