This book provides a thorough examination of the diverse applications of carbon-based materials, including both bulk and nano forms, in the detection and remediation of environmental contaminants. The authors aim to meet the growing need for long-term solutions to environmental contamination by emphasizing the adaptability and efficacy of carbon-based materials in a variety of sensing and repair methods. The book opens with an introduction that discusses carbon-based bulk and nanomaterials, highlighting their importance in environmental sensing and remediation, an offering the groundwork for understanding carbon's critical role in tackling modern environmental issues. It then looks into carbon-based sensing techniques, covering various technologies, including electrochemical sensing, fluorescent carbon nanomaterials, colorimetric detection, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Each chapter delves into these approaches' principles, benefits, and applications, demonstrating the promise of carbon-based materials in accurately and sensitively detecting environmental contaminants.

The book also discusses remediation strategies that use carbon-based materials, including adsorption, catalytic degradation, membrane filtration, and antibacterial activity. These chapters give insights into the mechanisms and effectiveness of carbon material-based methods for removing contaminants from diverse environmental matrices and sustainable approaches to environmental remediation. Furthermore, the book includes case studies and real-world applications demonstrating the practical use of carbon-based sensing and remediation strategies. These case studies demonstrate practical applications of carbon-based materials to solve specific environmental concerns, showing successes and obstacles faced in real-world circumstances.
