Abstract
Abstract In this chapter, examples of application of “green nanotechnology,” the necessary evolution of nanotechnology, as required by the constrains of the sustainable development, are presented. Different fields, such as environmental monitoring and remediation, renewable energies, substitution of toxic materials, and chemicals synthesis, have been selected. Specific attention was addressed to (i) preparation of nanoparticles, (ii) visible light-driven heterogeneous photocatalysis, applied not only to the traditional area of wastewater treatment, but also to the synthesis of chemicals by selective oxidation reactions, (iii) green synthesis by enzymatic catalysis, (iv) energy storage, (v) life cycle analysis of nanomaterials with reference to risk assessment and management, and (iv) applications in agriculture.
