Abstract

One of the most fundamental and adaptable components found in the landscape, carbon has a variable that allows it to generate different allotropes. Carbon has been employed as an energy source for the last few decades. Today, carbon plays a large and outsized role in virtually every area of applied science, including research, technology, and innovation. We should all be aware of carbon’s extraordinary properties, including its many forms and allotropes, as well as how widely they are used in fields as disparate as science and environmental preservation and restoration. To cure a variety of organic and inorganic contaminants for renewable energy and environmental protection, amazingly adaptable nanomaterials, and carbon nanotubes can be used. One of the biggest environmental issues we face today is global warming, which was brought on by the improper use of fossil fuels, which resulted in the development of greenhouse gases. The majority of air pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, organic volatile compounds, ozone, toxic substances, and inhalable particulates (PM 2.5 and PM 10), were found as a result of incomplete combustion of the gases. ...
