Green Chemistry Principles and Spectroscopic Methods Applied to Nanomaterials

Anindita De, Roopa R.A., Manasa H.S., Mridula Guin

Nanomaterials have revolutionized the twenty-first century through many industrial breakthroughs. Hazardous chemical methods from non-renewable sources mostly perform the synthesis of these nanomaterials. Thus, synthesizing nanomaterials by twelve principles of green chemistry is the most demanding method that outperforms the chemical and physical synthesis methods in various aspects. The key features of the green approach are environmental friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and biocompatibility. The green principles use natural resources for nanomaterial synthesis and are currently on their way from the laboratory to commercial application. This chapter presents principles of green chemistry that are followed for nanomaterial synthesis. Recent advances in this field and overcoming the challenges to improve their commercialization have also been discussed.
