ABSTRACT

The world is currently facing water pollution as one of the major concerns as it is growing with passaging time and causing serious and irreversible damage to the earth. Because of their unique physical and chemical properties, nanomaterials have appeared promising candidates to combat water pollution. There is a growing application of excellent nanomaterials on industrial land, presenting them as a successful generation's smart resources. The current chapter outlines recent developments in industrial synthesis methods relying on chemical and biological pathways to make nanomaterials. In addition, a brief overview of nanomaterials and their properties is also given.

Thereafter, recently manufactured nanostructured materials with precise forms and dimensions are also discussed in various fields, mainly in the remediation of water pollutants. Subsequently, the challenges and future perspectives will be addressed in the continuing improvements of modern nanomaterials as high throughput materials.
