ABSTRACT
The design of chemical processes and chemical products that limit or eliminate the use or synthesis of hazardous compounds is known as green chemistry. It applies throughout a chemical product’s life cycle, including its design, manufacture, usage, and final disposal. Introducing green chemistry to the nanoworld creates a new era in the scientific field of green nanotechnology. Green nanotechnology contributes nanosized materials that can be synthesized safely and are less hazardous to the environment. Nanosized materials have advantages over conventional materials because of their shape, size, surface morphology, and composition. The synthesis and applications of biobased nanomaterials are a suitable way to reduce their harmful effects on health and the environment. The implementation of 12 principles of green chemistry throughout the research makes the world 260more sustainable and less toxic. This chapter includes fabrication methods of different green nanomaterials and their applications to produce various energy feedstocks, such as solar cells, batteries, and supercapacitors. The enhanced rate of production of sustainable green energy through the green synthesized nanomaterials makes the future world more eco-friendly and energy efficient.
