       Abstract

      Water, one of the essential elements in the nature under a great threat, with pollutants treasured in it generates noxious suffocations with the raise in contaminants globally. It is time we wake up. Fabrication of innovative nanomaterials with unique models and approaches, deliver versatilities in overcoming the drawbacks installed in earlier protocols for a full-scale utilisation in the environmental pitch. Functionalization of nanoscales provides a promising note, when employed in remediation applicational functions for environmental system. Protection of as-synthesized nano scaled material by casing a suitable layer of organics/inorganics on their core surface by functionalization modules enhances the functionalities.

Functionalized nanomaterials supported with nanocatalyst have been proven for their high selectivity and controlled sensitivity over the target samples in water management. Nano-adsorbents, nano-membranes and nanocatalysts are commendably employed for attacking and eliminating the pollutant from the resourceful water sectors either in surface or in sub-surface. Functionalized nanocatalysts like electrocatalyst, photocatalyst, electro-Fenton catalyst, Fenton-based catalyst, and oxidants (chemical) by versatile processes have revealed their potentialities in getting rid of biological, organic and/or inorganic toxicants from water bodies that might lead to painful health issues. Functionalized nanocatalytic materials for remediation of water resources will be mainly focused in the segments to come.
