“…An advantage of the increasing use of nanotechnology is the greater efficiency of food production methods by the lower consumption of agrochemical products (e.g., pesticides, biocides, antibiotics, or veterinary drugs) [16][17]. Nanotechnology facilitates production of high-quality food and feed supplemented with nano-scale materials and additives.…”

The aim of the present study was to analyse commercially available compounds containing nanoparticles in the form of Ag, Cu, and Ag sulphate colloids applied in agriculture. The compounds were analysed with TEM and FTIR spectroscopy, i.e., methods that can complement the commonly used research techniques such as EDX or Raman spectroscopy. The results of the microscopic examinations evidenced the presence of single spherical agglomerates (small granules) of the nanoparticle-containing products. Infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of bands characteristic of vibrations that can be assigned to nanoparticle-X interactions, where X = S, C, or O in aqueous colloid solutions of the analysed samples. Additionally, bands characteristic for C-H stretching vibrations (probably associated with vibrations of the -CH 2 and -CH 3 groups) were observed as bands originating from compounds used as the carriers of the analysed systems. In the case of Ag sulphate, the most distinct band with a maximum at 2,863 cm -1 , which is characteristic of SH···Ag vibrations, can be observed, and its intensity may be associated with the nanostructure composition of the formulation, which is more diverse than that in the other two compounds.

“…Lastly, 3D nano-adsorbents have no nanoscale external dimension while exhibiting internal nanoscale features. For instance, nanocomposites or assemblies of nanostructured materials can be considered 3D nanomaterials [24]. Figure 2 outlines the diverse classes of the dye nano-adsorbents in terms of dimensionality.…”

Clean water is a vital element for survival of any living creature and, thus, crucially important to achieve largely and economically for any nation worldwide. However, the astonishingly fast trend of industrialization and population growth and the arisen extensive water pollutions have challenged access to clean water across the world. In this regard, 1.6 million tons of dyes are annually consumed. Thereof, 10%–15% are wasted during use. To decolorize water streams, there is an urgent need for the advanced remediation approaches involving utilization of novel materials and technologies, which are cost and energy efficient. Nanomaterials, with their outstanding physicochemical properties, can potentially resolve the challenge of need to water treatment in a less energy demanding manner. In this review, a variety of the most recent (from 2015 onwards) opportunities arisen from nanomaterials in different dimensionalities, performances, and compositions for water decolorization is introduced and discussed. The state-of-the-art research studies are presented in a classified manner, particularly based on structural dimensionality, to better illustrate the current status of adsorption-based water decolorization using nanomaterials. Considering the introduction of many newly developed nano-adsorbents and their classification based on the dimensionality factor, which has never been employed for this sake in the related literature, a comprehensive review will be presented.

“…It is necessary to put forward a reasonable nanotechnology category for technology adoption and implementation. Currently, most classifications describe the application field [5] or the properties of materials [6], such as the origin (natural and anthropogenic), chemical composition (metals, metal alloys, metal oxides, semiconductors, carbon nano-objects, polymers and the category of nanomaterials including silicates and carbonates) and whether it is toxic [7]. These kinds of biomaterial data classifications can provide solutions, which have been tested by other articles.…”

Currently, advanced biomaterial design solutions often have more than two kinds of nanotechnology design strategies, but there is no suitable classification to describe these designs systematically. Based on the material design ideas and the modes of implementing functions, this article exemplifies and proposes a new nanotechnology classification that includes physical properties, the chemical reactions that respond to the microenvironment and bio-inspired incorporation. If two or more nanotechnology designs in the same classification are to be integrated into the same biological material, it is necessary to analyze the integration conflict between the designs. With the development of big data, this classification method may help researchers and artificial intelligence to realize automated integration of multiple designs and provide new material nanotechnology design integration solutions.
