Green chemistry and sustainable approaches for innovative materials 1/2 | |||||||
Co-organized with Sapienza University of Rome Chair: Maria Laura SANTARELLI, Sapienza University of Rome |

Green chemistry principles are increasingly being applied in the synthesis of nanomaterials to minimize environmental impact and enhance sustainability. The field of green nanomaterials production focuses on developing eco-friendly methods that use benign solvents, reduce energy consumption, and employ renewable resources. Traditional approaches to nanomaterial synthesis often involve toxic chemicals and generate hazardous by-products, posing significant environmental and health risks. Green chemistry aims to address these issues by leveraging techniques such as biogenic synthesis, which uses plant extracts, microorganisms, and other natural agents as reducing and capping agents. Additionally, processes such as mechanochemistry and the use of supercritical fluids offer pathways to produce nanomaterials with minimal environmental footprint. The implementation of green chemistry in nanomaterials production not only contributes to environmental protection but also enhances the functional properties of the nanomaterials, making them suitable for applications in medicine, electronics, and energy storage. The two sessions of this workshop highlights the importance of integrating green chemistry principles in the development of nanomaterials to achieve sustainable technological advancements. |
