such kinds of guest molecules have been used for tackling environmental pollution by
the detection and remediation of pesticides, removal of harmful dyes, heavy metals
and gases from the environment. In addition to these, such guest immobilized HNT
have also been used for energy storage and increasing the efficiency of various fuels.
In future, with more technological advancements, HNT-based biosensors can be
developed for rapid and on-site detection of different pollutants such as greenhouse
gases and pesticides. With such diverse applications in this field, HNT can become
a ‘silver bullet’ for environmental engineers for undertaking issues related to energy
and environmental remediation.
