ABSTRACT
Nanocomposites for pollution control techniques and devices are getting impetus globally. ZnO is believed to be a better starting UV material to form nanocomposites with semiconductor photocatalysts. Application of carbon nanomaterial-based nanocomposites in pollution control is highly interdisciplinary, which dictates combined efforts of the materials science, chemistry, engineering, and environmental science communities. Green nanocomposites are abundant, renewable resources that can provide a basis for sustainable and economic development. Green nanocomposites are highly versatile, having a broad range of physical properties suitable for miscellaneous applications.
