摘要: The world is facing great challenges in meeting rising demands for basic commodities (e.g., food, water and energy), finished goods cell phones, cars airplanes) services shelter, healthcare employment) while reducing minimizing the impact of human activities on Earth’s global environment climate. Nanotechnology has emerged as a versatile platform that could provide efficient, cost-effective environmentally acceptable solutions to sustainability society. This special issue Journal Nanoparticle Research devoted utilization nanotechnology improve or achieve sustainable development. We highlight recent advances discuss opportunities utilizing address (1) purification, (2) clean energy technologies, (3) greenhouse gases management, (4) materials supply utilization, (5) green manufacturing chemistry. In addition technical listed above, we also societal perspectives an outlook role convergence knowledge, technology society achieving
