“…Given their distinctive localised surface plasmon resonances, plasmonic NMs, for example, are intriguing prospects for the construction of biosensors which may be sensitive. Pollution remediation should receive more awareness and consciousness based on environmental studies performed by environmental sensors [237].…”

The world is rapidly changing, the resources are getting depleted, and the demand for newer technologies and products is increasing. To keep up with these new advances, highly efficient catalytic routes need to be taken to be sustainable and ensure a drawn-out existence of resources for future generations. Catalysis turns out to be a significantly important field of application when it comes to the era of nanoscience, where all devices and technologies are becoming smaller and smaller in size with improved properties. When deeming the usability of a catalyst, it is of paramount importance to have a good understanding of their properties and their synergistic effect on the other reagents in the reaction. Over the last decade, the field of nanocatalysis has grown rapidly, both in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Given that nanoparticles have a high surface-to-volume ratio when compared to bulk materials, they are appealing as catalysts. Catalysts accelerate and boost thousands of different chemical reactions on a daily basis, forming the foundation of the multibillion-dollar chemical industry worldwide, a pathway leading to green chemistry, and a novel, yet crucial, environmental protection technology. As a result, in this review, the use of nanocatalysts and the application of their special features in the renewable energy, hydrocarbon processing, and fine chemical synthesis sector was explored. A detailed explanation of the working mechanism of these nanocatalysts, starting from how they are synthesized to the effect of modification of their surface, has been put together. We have tried to collect all the current progresses in these three sectors to the best of our abilities. Furthermore, it is anticipated that this paper would be useful for future researchers and academicians wishing to contribute toward this subject of interest.

“…Nonetheless, there is a dearth of information on the effect of these materials on the soil ecosystem as well as their effect on groundwater. Moreover, the storage devices for emerging energy sources may be more problematic to handle compared to the more known conventional ones [9]. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effect of battery waste disposal on the physicochemical and microbiological parameters of the receiving soil both of which are indices of soil health and its fertility.…”

This study was designed to assess the impact of automobile battery waste disposal on the indices of soil health and fertility. Soil samples were collected from three major mechanic villages in Akure and Owo in Ondo State. The physicochemical parameters were analyzed using standard methods while the heavy metal content was assessed using a spectrophotometer. Also, the microbial population was determined using the pour plate method and some biochemical tests. The results show that the soil sample from Owo had the least total bacterial count of 65.10x 105 CFU/g) while the sample from Akure 2 had the highest bacterial count of 185.50 x 105 CFU/g. The probable organisms isolated from the samples were Klebsiella spp, Escherichia spp, Staphylococcus spp, Proteus spp, Pseudomonas spp, Bacillus spp, Serratia spp and Enterobacter spp. There were significant differences between the physicochemical parameters of the contaminated soil samples and the uncontaminated control soil. The electrical conductivity of the contaminated soil samples (1.20, 0.92 and 0.38) was higher significantly (p<0.05) than the uncontaminated (0.21) soil sample. The pH values were acidic (4.57) compared with the control (7.42). Other indices like C, Ca. CEC and bulk density among others have values that were different significantly (P<0.05) between the contaminated soil and the control. In addition, the levels of heavy metals such as Lead, Cadmium and Chromium in the contaminated soil were significantly higher than in the control soil sample. The study confirms that the health indicators of the battery waste-receiving soil in the studied area are highly compromised therefore it may need remediation to reduce soil pollution.
