Nanoceramics and Their Environmental Applications

Nanoceramics are a class of ceramic materials that possess nanoscale dimensions, typically ranging from a few nanometers to a few hundred nanometers. They exhibit unique properties and characteristics due to their small size, high surface area-to-volume ratio, and quantum effects, which make them highly attractive for a wide range of applications. In the field of environmental science and engineering, nanoceramics offer promising solutions for addressing various challenges such as pollution prevention, water and wastewater treatment, air purification, and solid-waste management. Further, the unique properties of nanoceramics, including their high surface area, reactivity, and tailored functionalities, make them versatile materials for environmental applications.
