Overview

Advanced Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials for Environmental and Sensing Applications provides state-of-the-art progress developments in the design strategies of 2D-based nanomaterials. It covers specific focused applications in respective environmental challenges posed by pollutants such as chemical gases, bacterial and microbial, textile dyes, pharmaceutical antibiotics, agricultural pesticides, and toxic heavy metals in water and air contaminations. It elaborates the applications of 2D nanomaterials in the context of technologies such as sensing and detection to monitor pollutants, as well as photocatalysis and adsorption for the removal of pollutants. Features: Elaborates the applications of 2D nanomaterials in the context of sensing and detection to monitor pollutants, as well as photocatalysis and adsorption for the removal of pollutants. Focuses on environmental pollutants detection, removal or remediation, and monitoring device fabrications. Discusses materials of specific dimension (2D). Covers both water and air remediation. Includes photocatalytic degradations and antimicrobial disinfection. This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemical and civil engineering, materials science, and nanomaterials.
