This review summarizes recent progress in the development of nanocellulose-based nanocomposites and in their environmental applications.

Zeolites and mesoporous silica nanoparticles are silicate or aluminosilicate nanomaterials with well-defined pore networks.

This review gives an overview of the applications of BiOX (X = Cl, Br and I) photocatalysts for environmental remediation.

While environmental biofilms have recently been implicated as a potential major sink for nanoparticles (NPs), the mechanisms of interactions remain largely unknown.
