Civil engineering (General) Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as an amazing class of materials with a broad spectrum of examples with at least one dimension in the range of 1 to 100 nm.

Fe-Ni-Zn, Fe-Co-Cu and Fe-Co-Zn TMNPs interact with microbes and help to degrade biomass under anaerobic conditions.

Trimetallic nanoparticles in anaerobic digestion process for biogas production
description Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as an amazing class of materials with a broad spectrum of examples with at least one dimension in the range of 1 to 100 nm. Metallic NPs can be produced with outstanding magnetic, electrical, optical, mechanical, and catalytic properties that are substantially different from their bulk counterparts.
