Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising avenue for enhancing bioenergy production systems across various industries. This review paper examines the synthesis, characterization, applications, and future prospects of nanoparticles and nanomaterials in bioenergy production. The utilization of nanoparticles, sourced from both natural and artificial resources has revolutionized the field by significantly improving production yield and efficiency. Advanced analytical techniques enable precise determination of nanoparticle size, facilitating their tailored application as heterogeneous catalysts in processes such as transesterification. Moreover, nanoparticles exhibit physicochemical properties that enhance biochemical processes, thereby augmenting yield through improved cell membrane penetration. Overall, this review highlights the vital role of nanotechnology in addressing challenges and optimizing efficiency in bioenergy production systems.
