Abstract
About this talk
Scientific contributions are the reflections of any nation’s development in which the three E’s (Economy, Environment and Energy) contribute greatly. Today, eco-sustainability and energy are the prime issues standing in the midst of deep crisis and utmost need of the hour for the progress of civilization. Amongst the three pillars of sustainability (social, environmental and economic), Eco-sustainability is the most vital to be concerned and nanotechnology is the only pivotal tool for eco-sustainability. In view of the eco-damaging factors involved with conventional methods (chemical/physical) of nanomaterial synthesis, a non-conventional (green) approach is employed to fabricate nanomaterials. Thereby, various Green Nano-structured materials have been successfully fabricated as they have multifold potency to eradicate environmental toxicants/pollutants compared to bulk materials. Moreover, these nano-structured materials also have significant role in other sectors, viz., health-care, pharmaceutical, life-sciences, metal and other industries, etc. The synthesis of nanomaterials has been endorsed by carrying out characterization using standard tools and techniques, viz., FTIR, UV-vis, FL, AFM, SEM-EDS, XRD etc.. The green approach to fabricate nano-structured materials is now much widely used and also advocated to adopt it globally for sustaining ecological balance.
