Abstract
Green nanomaterials, which provide sustainable alternatives in line with environmentally friendly methods, mark a revolutionary breakthrough in material science. The synthesis, use, and recovery of green nanomaterials are covered in this chapter, with an emphasis on their applications in several industries, such as biopolymers, fuel cells, biofuels, and biorefineries. This chapter highlights the ecologically friendly synthesis techniques that maximize the efficiency of producing nanomaterials while minimizing harmful consequences, such as green chemistry and biosynthesis. These novel materials improve the efficiency of traditional systems while also promoting sustainability by utilizing renewable resources. Apart from their manufacturing, the chapter delves into the various uses of green nanomaterials in augmenting the performance of biopolymers, boosting fuel cell efficiency, and streamlining the procedures involved in producing biofuel. We go over how adding or acting as catalysts with nanomaterials can boost energy output and reaction rates while cutting down on waste. Case studies show how these materials can close the gap between innovative technology and environmental stewardship, promoting a circular economy in the production of sustainable materials. They also display successful implementations of these materials. The possibility of repurposing these materials in new uses is explored, as is the strategy for efficiently recovering them from industrial processes and end-of-life items. This chapter highlights the role of green nanoparticles in accomplishing sustainable development goals by highlighting the significance of life cycle management. This helps to pave the way for a future in which environmental factors are incorporated into material innovation.
