Description
Summary:The current nanotechnological advancements provide an astonishing insight to fabricate nanomaterials for nano-bioremediation purposes. Exciting characteristics possessed by hybrid matrices at the nanoscale knock endless opportunities to nano-remediate environmentally-related pollunanomaterials tants of emerging concern. Nanometals are considered among the oldest generation of the world has ever noticed. These tiny nanometals and nanometal oxides showed enormous potential in almost every extent of industrial and biotechnological domains, including their potential multipurpose approach to deal with water impurities. In this manuscript, we discussed their role in the diversity of water treatment technologies used to remove bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, and organic impurities, providing an ample perspective on their recent advances in terms of their characteristics, attachment strategies, performance, and their scale-up challenges. Finally, we tried to explore their futuristic contribution to nano-remediate environmentally-related pollutants of emerging concern aiming to collect treated yet safe water that can be reused for multipurpose. •Metallic nanoparticles coupled nanohybrid matrices for water decontamination.•Highly requisite characteristics for robust materials are discussed.•Nano-bioremediation aspects of toxic elements and pesticides are given.•Scale up challenges are summarized at each level with suitable examples.
