Recent Advances Towards Selenium Nanoparticles: Synthetic Methods, Functional Mechanisms, and Biological Applications

The exceptional physicochemical properties of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have led to their widespread development. The function of SeNPs is significantly influenced by their shape and particle size, which are in turn determined by the applied synthesis methods. This work presents a critical and comparative analysis of physical, chemical, and biosynthetic methods. The key point is to elaborate on how different methods precisely regulate the particle size, morphology, and stability that are...
