Luminescent Multifunctional Nanomaterials: Capacitive Removal and Enhanced Detection Efficiency of Heavy Metals Ions for Advanced Water and Wastewater Treatment Application

Abstract

AbstractIn recent years, heavy metal ions pollution in the industrialized environment of the societies threaten human health that flaunt ill‐sorted blueprints in freshwater resources obviously. The paradigm of designing luminescent multifunctional nanomaterials finds directions to the strategies of synthesizing cost‐effective, green, and versatile nanomaterials not only for detection, but also removal process of heavy metal ions in large scale applications. Among them, discovering the advances of luminescent multifunctional nanomaterials provides broad types of biomaterials, polymers and porous nanoparticles that grabs focal of investigations over the past several years due to their unique advantages such as enhanced detection efficiency with lowest limit of detection (LOD), minimum ions interference in versatile removal process, fast responsivity and selectivity as outstanding as unique physicochemical properties. This review paper tries to highlight the paradigm of principles for design, development, and utilization of luminescence nanomaterials for considering fundamental detection and removal mechanisms of heavy metal ions. In particular, these nanomaterials increase the remediation quality that are tackled in detail by focusing on opportunities and challenges in the field. Finally, design methods of these nanomaterials and concentrating on empowered detection and removal efficiency for heavy metals ions highlights novel prospective and strategies for largescale applications.
