Environmental devices play a crucial role in the collection of one or more measurements that are essential for assessing the status of an environment. In the realm of environmental monitoring and analysis, these methods have experienced remarkable growth, emerging as one of the most rapidly advancing branches of scientific inquiry. The integration of nanomaterials into environmental science has gained significant importance, particularly in the development of innovative devices. Functionalized nanomaterials have the potential to revolutionize the field by introducing new materials and advanced characteristics that enhance the application of environmental monitoring. These materials can be tailored to reformulate existing materials and unlock new opportunities for developing cutting-edge devices capable of addressing environmental challenges.

The monitoring of environmental challenges has a direct impact on human health and sustainability. Advancements in environmental monitoring technologies have the power to mitigate the adverse effects of pollution, climate change, and other environmental threats. By leveraging functionalized nanomaterials, researchers and scientists can develop devices that provide real-time monitoring, early detection, and effective mitigation strategies.

Functionalized nanomaterials possess distinct mechanical, absorption, optical, or electrical properties compared to their original counterparts. The majority of the applications of nanomaterials involve their functionalized forms, which differ significantly from the parent material. This handbook serves as a comprehensive guide to the state-of-the-art materials, devices, and environmental applications of functionalized nanomaterials. It provides a platform for ongoing research in the field of environmental science and device fabrication.

The primary objective of this book is to cover the major areas related to the functionalization of nanomaterials, device fabrication, and diverse techniques employed in environmental applications of functionalized nanomaterial-based devices. It serves as an invaluable reference source for materials scientists, engineers, and environmental scientists seeking to expand their knowledge of how functionalized nanomaterial-based devices are being utilized. By delving into the intricacies of these materials and their applications, this handbook empowers individuals to contribute to the development of sustainable solutions and promote a healthier environment for future generations.
