With the continuous rise of global warming and its consequent effect on climate patterns, incorporating nanotechnology provides hope for yet another innovative way to battle this paradox. In this chapter, the recent research work has been compiled and analyzed to discuss different utilities of nanotechnology in dealing with climate change. Nanotechnology, which can manipulate matter at the nanoscale (10–100 nm), has significant potential to create novel solutions in numerous areas. Some of the key advances include nanomaterials for high-efficiency energy conversion, capture, and storage, which will improve solar cells or wind power. Advancements in nanotechnology could reduce carbon emissions in key sectors by up to 20%, particularly in energy-intensive industries like manufacturing and construction. Nanomaterials could split carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen and carbon monoxide 60 times more efficiently than traditional methods, potentially offering a new way to reduce atmospheric CO2. The review chapter further discusses the potential application of nanotechnology in increasing agricultural yields via nanofertilizers and nanopesticides, which is necessary for encouraging sustainable farming to help prevent climate change-related food supply threats. In addition to this, nanotechnology-based advancements in sensing and clean-up technologies have revolutionized the fields of pollution monitoring as well as water purification. These innovations tackle environmental degradation and help build resilience to challenges brought on by a changing climate. Amid these encouraging breakthroughs, the chapter also notes that more research is required to deal with any possible consequences for environmental and health issues that are an eventual consequence of nanomaterial pollutants. The use of ethical problems supported by their deployment and the transnational policies are also debated to ensure this inclusion is a secure, sensible transformation into climate change mitigation methodologies. At the end of this chapter, it is very clear that nanotechnology embraces a huge promise to provide alternative solutions for sustainable future by acting as an advanced technology option that can challenge global warming and climate change with their ability to tackle multifaceted problems.

摘要

With the continuous rise of global warming and its consequent effect on climate patterns, incorporating nanotechnology provides hope for yet another innovative way to battle this paradox. In this chapter, the recent research work has been compiled and analyzed to discuss different utilities of nanotechnology in dealing with climate change. Nanotechnology, which can manipulate matter at the nanoscale (10–100 nm), has significant potential to create novel solutions in numerous areas. Some of the key advances include nanomaterials for high-efficiency energy conversion, capture, and storage, which will improve solar cells or wind power. Advancements in nanotechnology could reduce carbon emissions in key sectors by up to 20%, particularly in energy-intensive industries like manufacturing and construction. Nanomaterials could split carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen and carbon monoxide 60 times more efficiently than traditional methods, potentially offering a new way to reduce atmospheric CO2. The review chapter further discusses the potential application of nanotechnology in increasing agricultural yields via nanofertilizers and nanopesticides, which is necessary for encouraging sustainable farming to help prevent climate change-related food supply threats. In addition to this, nanotechnology-based advancements in sensing and clean-up technologies have revolutionized the fields of pollution monitoring as well as water purification.
