Background: Nanomaterials, defined by their nanoscale dimensions and unique properties, have revolutionized diverse fields such as medicine, energy, electronics, and environmental sciences. Their enhanced reactivity, mechanical strength, and functional versatility make them vital for advancing technology and addressing global challenges.
Objective: This review aimed to comprehensively analyze advancements in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of nanomaterials, while highlighting their strengths, limitations, and potential in human healthcare and industrial innovation.
Methods: A review of literature from reputable databases, including ScienceDirect and PubMed, was conducted. Studies focusing on top-down and bottom-up synthesis approaches, advanced characterization techniques, and applications across various sectors were included. Critical analysis was performed to identify trends, challenges, and future directions.
Results: Top-down methods like mechanical milling are scalable but introduce defects, while bottom-up methods provide superior precision at higher costs. Characterization techniques, such as SEM, TEM, and XRD, proved crucial in understanding nanomaterial properties. Applications ranged from drug delivery and cancer therapy in medicine to improved energy storage and water purification. Limitations included high production costs and safety concerns.
Conclusion: Nanomaterials hold transformative potential across industries, especially in medicine, but require advancements in scalable production, safety protocols, and regulatory frameworks for widespread adoption.
