Nanomaterials for Carbon Capture and Environmental Remediation are playing a pivotal role in addressing some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. As global efforts intensify to combat climate change, pollution, and resource depletion, advanced nanomaterials offer innovative and highly efficient solutions for capturing carbon dioxide, remediating polluted ecosystems, and restoring environmental balance.

At the Global Conference on Materials Science and Advanced Manufacturing (MSAM – 2026), this session will explore the latest breakthroughs in nanotechnology for environmental sustainability, with a special focus on materials engineered for carbon management and pollution control.

We invite submissions and expert talks on:

• Nanomaterials for Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Carbon Sequestration: Exploring the design and application of nanoporous materials, MOFs (metal-organic frameworks), and functionalized nanoparticles that can selectively capture CO₂ from ambient air and industrial emissions for permanent storage or utilization.

• Nanostructured Sorbents for Gas Separation and Carbon Recycling: Discussing adsorbent materials with high surface areas and tailored pore structures, enabling selective CO₂ capture and facilitating its transformation into fuels, chemicals, or construction materials through carbon recycling technologies.

• Photocatalytic and Electrocatalytic CO₂ Conversion: Investigating nanomaterials that not only capture carbon dioxide but also convert it into valuable products like methanol, methane, or syngas using solar or electrical energy, promoting a circular carbon economy.

• Nanotechnology for Industrial Waste Gas Treatment: Showcasing innovations in nanocatalysts, membranes, and filters that remove CO₂ and other harmful gases from power plants, factories, and chemical industries, reducing their environmental footprint.

• Nanomaterials for Water Purification and Wastewater Treatment: Highlighting the use of nanoadsorbents, nanofiltration membranes, and nanocomposites for the efficient removal of heavy metals, organic pollutants, pathogens, and emerging contaminants from water sources.

• Remediation of Soil and Groundwater Contamination Using Nanotechnology: Exploring how engineered nanoparticles, such as zero-valent iron nanoparticles and carbon-based nanomaterials, are being deployed for in-situ remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, restoring ecosystem health.

• Air Purification Technologies Using Nanostructured Materials: Discussing the development of nanofiber filters, photocatalytic coatings, and airborne pollutant sensors that contribute to cleaner urban environments by removing PM2.5 particles, VOCs, and toxic gases from the air.

• Biodegradable and Eco-Friendly Nanomaterials for Environmental Applications: Emphasizing the creation of sustainable nanomaterials derived from natural sources or designed for easy degradation, ensuring minimal secondary environmental impact after deployment.

• Smart Nanosensors for Environmental Monitoring and Pollution Detection: Showcasing nanomaterial-enabled sensors capable of detecting pollutants at ultra-low concentrations, providing real-time monitoring data for air, water, and soil quality management.

• Nanotechnology in Oil Spill Cleanup and Marine Remediation: Exploring magnetic nanoparticles and superhydrophobic nanomaterials for rapid, efficient removal of oil and hazardous substances from marine environments.

• Advances in Nano-Enabled Bio-Remediation Techniques: Discussing the integration of nanomaterials with biological agents such as microorganisms and enzymes to create synergistic systems for the breakdown and removal of environmental pollutants.

• Life Cycle Assessment and Environmental Impact of Nanomaterials: Addressing the importance of evaluating the ecotoxicity, biodegradability, and life cycle impacts of nanomaterials used in remediation to ensure that their deployment contributes positively to sustainability goals.

• Policy, Regulation, and Ethical Considerations for Environmental Nanotechnology: Analyzing the regulatory frameworks, safety assessments, and ethical concerns surrounding the use of nanotechnology in environmental applications to foster responsible innovation.

This session brings together material scientists, nanotechnologists, environmental engineers, and policymakers to foster collaboration toward developing next-generation nanomaterials that capture carbon, clean the environment, and build a sustainable future.
