Advancements in silver-based nanocatalysts for organic transformations and other applications: a comprehensive review (2019–2024)

Abstract

Over time, nanocomposites have revolutionized materials science, offering numerous applications in fields such as catalysis, environmental purification and treatment, biomedicine and various industries. Among these, silver-based nanocomposites are particularly notable for their remarkable stability, reusability, biocompatibility, and multifunctional medicinal properties. Hence, we present a comprehensive summary of recent developments (2019–2024) in silver-based nanomaterials, focusing on their applications across multiple domains, including catalytic organic transformations, biomedical uses, environmental remediation, and industrial sectors such as food packaging, agriculture and textiles. By highlighting recent advancements and emerging trends, we aim to provide a thorough understanding of the role of silver-based nanocomposites in contemporary science and technology, emphasizing their potential to drive innovation across diverse disciplines.
