Biomaterials or bioderived materials have received a lot of attention in nanotechnology as a dependable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly protocol for the synthesis of a wide range of nanomaterials for the development of useful products. This is due to their advantages of eco-friendliness; low cost; low energy; low or non-toxicity; and simple procedures that are very promising and should be prioritized by researchers. Plants are known as natural chemical factories that are cost-effective and do not require conservation. Extensive research is being conducted to develop nano-based systems and nanocarriers using biomass-derived nanomaterials for various applications including nanomedicine, food, construction, automotive, and nanoelectronics, etc., depending on the starting materials, different properties can be obtained, which can influence the final characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles (NPs).
Sustainable energy has attracted lot of attention due to climate change. Nanomaterials obtained from biomass have gained a lot of attention as they have be applied to various sustainable energy technologies (batteries, fuel cell, solar cells, biofuels).
Biomass-derived materials have several appealing properties, including large surface areas; tailorable pore sizes; uniform porosity; easy surface functionalization; and good biocompatibility, making them a very complete system for use in the field of nanoenergy, sensing, functional nanomaterials, biotechnology and nanoelectronics. In this way, highly innovative and multifunctional systems can be developed that overcome limitations such as toxicity and biodistribution of previously developed systems, increasing their efficacy and reducing unwanted side effects. The purpose of this Research Topic, "Bioderived Nanomaterials for Sustainable Energy," is to collect and disseminate the most recent advances in this type of nanomaterials.
As a result, this Research Topic will include new developments in methodologies, processes, technologies, and innovations that have real-world or hypothetical applications in the improvement and preservation of sustainable sources, which will increase output through green chemistry and nanotechnology and influence sustainable energy. We encourage submissions that inform the community about the most recent developments in relation to these themes, including but not limited to the subjects listed below:
• Development of nanomaterials via Biomass conversion.
• Nanoscience and nanotechnology in biomass conversion
• Sustainable sources of nanomaterials such as biomass materials, waste materials or biomaterials
• Alternative nanomaterials for energy applications such as biofuels, solar cells, fuel cells or batteries
Keywords:
Biomaterials, sustainable energy, feedstock, biomass conversion, biomaterial properties
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
