  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Green Nanomaterials

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 126))

Abstract

This chapter presents an introduction to nanomaterials, which can be synthesized by green chemistry, or nano-sized functionally advanced materials which have high-performance applications in energy generation and storage, carbon dioxide fixation, electronic devices and are sustainable in terms of production and application with respect to the environment. Methods in brief of preparation of nanoparticles and nanofibres, advantages of green synthesis, and limitations of nanomaterials are discussed. This chapter also provides information related to recent research work on green nanomaterials and the available methods for their synthesis. It also gives a comprehensive overview of the recent status and suggests future directions for employing green nanomaterials for possible various application mainly in the biotechnology, agriculture and biomedical areas. The sustainability of major natural resources utilized in green nanomaterials’ synthesis is considered.
