“…Within this development, nanomaterials have been a key part. Their applications are limitless and are present in fields as varied as environmental remediation [1]; the development of renewable energy sources or energy storage [2]; the improvement of beauty and health treatments [3,4]; or the production of improved building, protective, or coating materials [5][6][7] (Figure 1). In addition, the nanomaterials have also been shown great potential in combating bacterial infections and addressing the challenge of antibiotic resistance.…”

Present worldwide difficulties in healthcare and the environment have motivated the investigation and research of novel materials in an effort to find novel techniques to address the current challenges and requirements. In particular, the use of nanomaterials has demonstrated a significant promise in the fight against bacterial infections and the problem of antibiotic resistance. Metal nanoparticles and carbon-based nanomaterials in particular have been highlighted for their exceptional abilities to inhibit many types of bacteria and pathogens. In order for these materials to be as effective as possible, synthetic techniques are crucial. Therefore, in this review article, we highlight some recent developments in the design and synthesis of various nanomaterials, including metal nanoparticles (e.g., Ag, Zn, or Cu), metal hybrid nanomaterials, and the synthesis of multi-metallic hybrid nanostructured materials. Following that, examples of these materials’ applications in antimicrobial performance targeted at eradicating multi-drug resistant bacteria, material protection such as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), or additives in construction materials have been described.
