Water Purification: Fresh functional engineered nanomaterials have showcased proficiency in treatment processes, which facilitate better access to drinking water while also conserving aquatic ecosystems.
Air Quality Improvement: Phononic materials and frameworks capture pollutants in urban settings with pre-coated photocatalytic metals to improve the air quality of cities.
Waste Management: The introduction of biodegradable and recyclable materials like PLA, and recycled PET reduce pollution and foster a circular economy.
Carbon Capture and Storage: Carbon capture technologies employing innovative materials (e.g., amine-enhanced adsorbents and calcium carbonate-based materials) can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes.
Environmental Monitoring: The real-time detection of pollutants in water and air is made possible with carbon nanotubes nanosensors. Furthermore, for monitoring and remediation of the environment, nano enzymes are vital as natural enzyme substitutes.
