Abstract
The unique and tunable properties of carbon-based nanomaterials enable new technologies
for identifying and addressing environmental challenges. This review critically assesses
the contributions of carbon-based nanomaterials to a broad range of environmental
applications: sorbents, high-flux membranes, depth filters, antimicrobial agents,
environmental sensors, renewable energy technologies, and pollution prevention strategies.
In linking technological advance back to the physical, chemical, and electronic properties
of carbonaceous nanomaterials, this article also outlines future opportunities for
nanomaterial application in environmental systems.
