Resumen

La síntesis verde de nanopartículas de oro (AuNPs) ofrece una estrategia sostenible para desarrollar sensores de metales y metaloides en agua. Estas partículas combinan alta sensibilidad, biocompatibilidad y capacidad de funcionalización, facilitando su adaptación a distintas matrices acuosas. A pesar de sus ventajas, persisten retos en reproducibilidad, control de tamaño y morfología, selectividad en aguas complejas y escalabilidad de la síntesis. La integración de AuNPs verdes en plataformas portátiles o híbridas representa una oportunidad para mejorar el monitoreo ambiental en tiempo real. Su implementación efectiva requiere investigación interdisciplinaria, optimización de protocolos y consideración de marcos regulatorios, equilibrando innovación tecnológica, sostenibilidad y aplicabilidad práctica.
