-
Vijyendra Kumar
Abstract
The development of sustainable materials has become imperative in addressing environmental and energy challenges. This chapter investigates the innovative use of green carbon nanostructure-based composites, focusing on their synthesis, properties, and applications in environmental protection and energy harvesting. Employing renewable feedstocks and eco-friendly processes, green carbon nanostructures, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, exhibit exceptional electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Their integration into composites enhances functionalities, enabling applications in water purification, air filtration, carbon capture, solar cells, and supercapacitors. Challenges such as scalability and life cycle impacts are discussed, alongside future prospects for hybrid composites and novel applications. This exploration underscores the pivotal role of these materials in advancing global sustainability goals.
