Introduction

This book provides a thorough examination of the diverse applications of carbon-based materials, including both bulk and nano forms, in the detection and remediation of environmental contaminants. The authors aim to meet the growing need for long-term solutions to environmental contamination by emphasizing the adaptability and efficacy of carbon-based materials in a variety of sensing and repair methods.

Carbon-based bulk and nanomaterials

The book opens with an introduction that discusses carbon-based bulk and nanomaterials, highlighting their importance in environmental sensing and remediation, an offering the groundwork for understanding carbon's critical role in tackling modern environmental issues.

Carbon-based sensing techniques

It then looks into carbon-based sensing techniques, covering various technologies, including electrochemical sensing, fluorescent carbon nanomaterials, colorimetric detection, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Each chapter delves into these approaches' principles, benefits, and applications, demonstrating the promise of carbon-based materials in accurately and sensitively detecting environmental contaminants.

Remediation strategies

The book also discusses remediation strategies that use carbon-based materials, including adsorption, catalytic degradation, membrane filtration, and antibacterial activity. These chapters give insights into the mechanisms and effectiveness of carbon material-based methods for removing contaminants from diverse environmental matrices and sustainable approaches to environmental remediation.

Case studies and real-world applications

Furthermore, the book includes case studies and real-world applications demonstrating the practical use of carbon-based sensing and remediation strategies. These case studies demonstrate practical applications of carbon-based materials to solve specific environmental concerns, showing successes and obstacles faced in real-world circumstances.
