Nanotechnology offers promising techniques that can facilitate sustainability across a wide range of areas. By fabricating materials at the nanometre-scale, nanotechnology has facilitated an efficient, economically and environmentally acceptable solution for waste treatment and energy production.

This book illustrates how green nanotechnology is being used to promote sustainability, including applications in environmental remediation and energy optimization. First, a comprehensive discussion of the latest advances to address the global challenges in water purification, CO2 management, plastics issues, food waste valorisation, toxic chemical pollutants, and energy efficiency is provided. This is followed by the new opportunities that have arisen in the production of alternative renewable energy under the premise of low natural resource consumption and minuscule toxicity production.

Sustainable Nanotechnology offers an important reference for the research community to understand more about green nanotechnology and its applications in sustainable development and circular economy. The book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in nanotechnology, materials science, sustainability, environmental science, and energy.
