Organic contaminants, volatile organic compounds, and heavy metals pose long-term threats to natural ecosystems and human health. Particularly in the last decade, metal sulfide nanomaterials have piqued researchers’ interest due to their outstanding physicochemical characteristics that make them amenable to modulation, as well as their qualitative and quantitative structure–activity relationship.
- Offers up-to-date, state-of-the-art information on metal sulfide nanomaterials
- Takes advantage of a structured and comprehensive approach to seamlessly combine theory and practical applications
- Focuses on usability for environmental remediation, making its contents extremely valuable
- Conceptualizes future implications at the end of each chapter
