The Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is the applied research and development laboratory at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS). The laboratory applies innovative science to provide practical, high-value, cost-effective solutions to complex technical problems. In recent years, incorporation of nanomaterials in devices opened the door to applications in nearly every sector of science and industry. This talk will present an overview of state-of-the-art nanomaterials of different sizes, shapes, and compositions developed at SRNL. I will particularly focus on metallic and/or metallic oxide nanostructures, including Au, Ag, Fe2O3, TiO2, SiO2, with precisely defined properties and functions. Their use for environmental stewardship applications, including environmental screening, decontamination, sequestering and/or cleaning agents, will be highlighted in detail.
