프러시안블루 나노입자의 특성과 생물공학적 응용연구 동향

초록

Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have gathered an intense attention in diverse fields, based on their unique characteristics such as excellent electrochemical and optical properties, high adsorbing capacity due to the porous nature, enzyme-like multiple catalytic activities, and favorable biocompatibility and biosafety. Particularly, their biotechnological applications for developing potent methods in therapeutics, diagnostics, and remediation hold significant promise. In this review, recent researches on PBNPs, including the synthetic strategies and relevant physicochemical properties, mechanisms of catalytic activity and phototherapy, potentials as drug carrier and scavenger of reactive oxygen species, remediation capability to adsorb/separate/degrade environmentally-harmful molecules, and representative studies are reviewed and discussed. Current challenges and prospects for the utilization of PBNPs in biotechnology are also discussed.
