Sustainable Environmental Technologies

The book Sustainable Environmental Technologies: Materials and Innovations represents a landmark contribution to the field of advanced materials and their role in building a sustainable future. Emerging as an outcome of the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Functional Materials and Devices (AFMD 2025), it brings together leading researchers, scientists, and engineers to present cutting-edge developments in sustainable technologies. The volume explores electronic, magnetic, optical, adaptive, and dielectric materials, emphasising their applications in energy harvesting, storage, environmental monitoring, and remediation. With themes spanning nanomaterials, thin films, two-dimensional systems, and multifunctional smart materials, the book highlights practical pathways toward clean energy and ecological balance. Chapters delve into innovations such as hydroelectric cell materials, doped oxides, photovoltaic light-management strategies, sensing, and green-synthesized pollutant-degrading materials. More than a scholarly compilation, it reflects a collective commitment to addressing climate change and resource challenges through interdisciplinary research and sustainable technological innovation.
