Nanochemistry: The Intersection of Nanotechnology and Chemistry | Chapter 8 | Advancements in Science and Technology: Paving the Way to a Sustainable Future

Nanochemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on designing, synthesizing, characterizing, and applying materials at the nanoscale. It has revolutionized various fields, including medicine, energy, electronics, and environmental science. Nanoparticles are used in targeted drug delivery, bio-imaging, cancer treatment, and energy systems. In electronics, nanochemistry miniaturizes transistors and batteries, leading to faster computing technologies. Environmental applications use nanomaterials for water purification and green catalysis. However, challenges like nanotoxicity, environmental risks, and standardized safety regulations remain. Continued research and collaboration across disciplines are crucial for the responsible advancement of nanotechnology.

Determining the Application of Nanomaterials to Environmental Remediation | Chapter 1 | Emerging Challenges in Environment and Earth Science Vol. 1

 Nanomaterials are extremely tiny, measuring 100nm or less in size. They have qualities that differ from the parent compound's original attributes due to their small size. They have a high reactivity and adsorption capability, making them suitable for environmental remediation. The goal of this study is to figure out how nanomaterials can be used to reduce pollution in the air, water, and soil. The current study demonstrates that nanoparticles can be employed to remediate water, air, and soil. The research also focuses on different forms of nanoadsorbants, nanocatalysts, and nanofilters. But, in the end, we must consider toxicity, which may be attributed to the small size of these particles. As a result, their toxicity should be analysed before they are used, and established methodologies devised by scientists for their usage.
