Nanomaterials provide tremendous opportunities to advance human welfare in many areas including energy storage, catalysis, photovoltaic energy conversion, environmental remediation, and agriculture. As nanomaterials become incorporated into commercial processes and consumer products in increasing amounts, it will be essential to develop an understanding of how these materials interact with the environment. The broad spectrum and complexity of nanomaterials drive a need for molecular-level design rules. Ultimately a grand challenge is to use the power of chemistry to ensure that nanoenabled technologies can come to fruition in an environmentally benign manner.
纳米材料在能源存储、催化、光伏能源转换、环境修复和农业等许多领域为提高人类福祉提供了巨大的机会。随着纳米材料越来越多地被纳入商业流程和消费产品，开发出对这些材料与环境相互作用方式的理解将变得至关重要。纳米材料的广泛多样性和复杂性需要分子级别的设计规则。最终的巨大挑战是利用化学的力量，确保纳米技术能够以环境友好的方式得以实现。
