The corrigendum corrects an error in Table 1 of the article "Silver nanoparticles: synthesis, properties, toxicology, applications and perspectives" by Quang Huy Tran, Van Quy Nguyen, and Anh-Tuan Le. The reference for AgNO3/thermal decomposition was incorrectly stated as [13] when it should be [20]. The corrected version of Table 1 is provided.
The review article discusses the synthesis routes, antimicrobial effects, toxicology, and applications of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). Ag-NPs have gained significant attention due to their high antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The synthesis methods include chemical, physical, photochemical, and biological approaches, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The antimicrobial mechanisms of Ag-NPs involve disruption of cell membranes, generation of reactive oxygen species, and direct damage to cellular components. Ag-NPs have been successfully applied in water, air, and surface disinfection, and their potential in preventing emerging infectious diseases is highlighted. The article also addresses the toxicological considerations of Ag-NPs and their environmental impact.The corrigendum corrects an error in Table 1 of the article "Silver nanoparticles: synthesis, properties, toxicology, applications and perspectives" by Quang Huy Tran, Van Quy Nguyen, and Anh-Tuan Le.
