| Summary |
This book discusses how nanostructured materials play a key role in helping address environmental challenges. Employing nanostructured materials in catalysis can increase the efficient decomposition of toxic pollutants in air, water, and soil. This multidisciplinary book discusses the most promising nanostructured materials made-up of metals, metal oxides, metal chalcogenides, multi-metal oxides, carbon nanostructures, and hybrid materials that can address environmental remediation. It provides a well-referenced introduction to newcomers from allied disciplines and will be valuable to researchers in academia, industry, and government working on solutions to environmental problems. Provides a state-of-the-art review of key concepts of nanostructured materials in environmental science Discusses the most promising nanostructured materials that can assist with environmental remediation Illustrates challenges and opportunities for development, experimental design, methodology, and interpretation of results |
