Approaches for the Synthesis of Nanomaterials, Historical Development and Applications in Different Sectors: A Review

Abstract

Nanomaterials are a class of biomaterials with at least one dimension in the nanoscale, which is between 1 and 100 nanometers. Nanomaterials (NMs) are divided into many categories based on size, composition, capping agents, form, and origin. Nanomaterials will support a variety of industries, and their applications will lead to the development of lighter, stronger, and cleaner materials and intelligent medications. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of distinct nanomaterials, their history, approaches for the synthesis of nanomaterials, and their applications in different fields. In addition, this study also summarizes the environmental impact, so that this research could become the torchbearer for futuristic researchers working in this area.
