Frontiers of Nanoelectrochemistry and Application of Nanotechnology: A Vision for the Future

Abstract

The vision and future of nanoelectrochemistry and application area of nanoelectrochemistry are wide, varied, and versatile. Nanotechnology is the ultimate engineering vision of tomorrow. Nanoparticle applications in bioanalysis, catalysis, and electrocatalysis and nanoparticles such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and networks, semiconductor nanoparticles, and arrays of nanoelectrodes and nanopores are the vision of tomorrow's science, technology, and engineering. A scientist's vision is far-reaching and groundbreaking. For the range between 1 and 10nm, for the nanoparticles, progress has been stimulated by synthetic innovations and for single nanoelectrodes and single nanopores, similarly by advances in methods of innovation and also by the march of nanoscience. The author's endeavor is to highlight and review the advances in the field of nanoelectrochemistry and nanotechnology as a broad area. The application area of colloid chemistry also comes into play. Nanotechnology will help the million homes in years to come and will be a great boon to our mankind. Our vision is to delineate the advances in the vast domain of nanotechnology and nanoelectrochemistry as a whole. It will also touch upon the progress in colloid chemistry. The answers and fruits of scientific endeavor in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology will be greatly enhanced. The vision and the objective of the treatise are targeted toward the application areas of nanotechnology, nanoelectrochemistry, and environmental engineering tools such as nanofiltration. An extensive review work is attempted with deep comprehension and cogent insight. An engineer's as well a scientist's vision is emboldened with strong insight in the paper.
