About this Research Topic
The pursuit of sustainable and environmentally friendly innovations has led to technological advances in the design of smart products and processes. The application of these benign products and processes has helped improve quality of life. Furthermore, innovations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change, and develop renewable technologies have helped achieve sustainable goals and solutions, which in turn have pushed advances in science, engineering, and education.
Indeed, green and sustainable chemistry represents a revolutionary approach to chemical design, synthesis, and processes that prioritize environmental and societal well-being. It seeks to minimize the environmental impact of chemical products and processes, fostering a harmonious coexistence between industrial advancements and ecological sustainability. Key principles of green and sustainable chemistry include the use of renewable resources, the reduction or elimination of hazardous substances, and the optimization of energy efficiency.
By integrating green chemistry principles, industries aim to address global challenges such as climate change, pollution, and resource depletion. It encourages the development of eco-friendly alternatives to traditional chemical practices, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and resilient future.
To this end, the present Research Topic welcomes original research, reviews, commentaries, and perspectives on the use of carbon-based frameworks in the development of biosensors and theranostics as well as for drug-delivery and energy storage. Carbon-based frameworks, including nanotubes and graphene, revolutionize biosensor design, offering enhanced sensitivity and stability. Their unique electrical and biocompatible properties empower innovative sensing platforms, advancing diagnostics and environmental monitoring. The integration of carbon frameworks with biomolecules propels biosensors, setting new standards for biomolecular recognition and real-time monitoring.
