Synthesis and Characterization ofHybrid Nanomaterials for Energyand Environmental Applications

Abstract

It is a challenging task to work with composite of hybrid nanomaterials without losing their unique properties. It is a difficult task to get the composites to work together. Researchers aim to find the best ways to mix them while keeping their individual properties intact. Physical parameters like size and shape play efficient role in the synthesis of hybrid nanomaterials. Controlling the composition and structure to tailor properties for specific applications while maintaining cost-effectiveness and sustainability is also a significant concern in this field. Imagine creating tiny superhero materials at the tiniest scale possible. These superhero materials named hybrid nanomaterials made by mixing different ultra-small particles like metal nitrates, graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (R-GO) and synthesized by a modified hummer’s method. Characterizations like XRD, CV, and UV-visible and RMAN spectroscopy of synthesized hybrid nanomaterials was carried out to analyze their application in the fields of energy and environment. Hybrid nanomaterials based on graphene oxide and metal nanoparticles efficiently purify water by removing contaminants. These tailored materials, with their modified properties like high surface area and selective sensing capabilities, play an important role in tackling challenges related to pollution control, environmental monitoring, storage, and clean energy generation. Ongoing research aims to optimize these hybrid nanomaterials for different sustainable energy and environmental applications.
