Abstract
With global awareness toward sustainable development, the importance of “green” materials is gaining significant attention. The new class of greener nanomaterials has a wide range of environmental and biomedical applications due to their inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Green nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that has emerged as a significant research area due to its environmentally friendly approach employing the principles of green chemistry. Many of these green nanomaterials are finding their way from the laboratory to commercial applications; it is still facing significant challenges as many of the current processes generate toxic wastes. Scientific communities are interested in developing sustainable products and processes with the purpose of reducing the vicious influence of chemicals and their end products. The present chapter discusses the development, challenges, and applications of green nanomaterials for environmental cleanup. The green synthesis of nanomaterials and their environmental applications with special reference to the principles of green chemistry have also been comprehensively discussed.
