Nano Biochar for Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Remediation: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

To safeguard soil, water, and air throughout intensive agricultural operations as well as significant industrial and transportation endeavors, it is imperative that the environment and agriculture are managed sustainably. Application of biochar might be a potential approach to solve these issues. The use of biochar (BC) in agricultural techniques and for environmental remediation has shown to offer a variety of benefits, despite certain drawbacks. Superior physicochemical characteristics of nanobiochar include strong catalytic activity, distinctive nanostructure, large specific surface area, and excellent mobility in soil environments. Nanobiochar is a prime contender for sustainable agriculture to pollution remediation and catalytic reactions. Despite growing interest in biochar research for agricultural and environmental uses, it is unclear how important nanobiochar is. So, in this study, we identified several fundamental uses of nanobiochar with an emphasis on its efficacy for environmentally and agriculturally sustainable practices.
