The NANO-SA-2023 conference committee would like welcome you for the 2nd international conference on “NanoMaterials and Sustainable Applications” (NANO-SA).
The NANO-SA-2023 organized by the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai-Marathwada Campus, Jalna (ICT-MARJ), India, on the January 10-11, 2023, at Rama International Hotel, Aurangabad.
The design of advanced nanomaterials with unique physical and chemical characteristics and structures has garnered considerable attention of active researchers all over the world because it has a significant impact on the development of industrial sectors and innovation in all fields, including the energy, environment, healthcare, and information technology. Its aim is to promote scientific contacts and discussions between researchers from various ever-expanding fields like noncatalyzed organic transformations/methodologies, energy conversion (fuel cells & green hydrogen production), carbon capture, storage and conversion to value added chemicals and fuels, environmental remediation and other sustainable applications.
In the 21st century, various branches of science and technology has emerged due to the investigation and exploration of advanced technology including electronics, energy and nanocatalysis for the sustainable technological development. Diminishing fossil fuels and increasing global energy consumption motivated the researchers to design and develop sustainable protocols for the fabrication of nanomaterials and its catalytic applications to produce fuels and chemicals at industrial scale to fulfil the rising energy demands. One of the major scientific fields devoted to addressing these difficulties is sustainable catalytic chemistry.
Innovations in catalysis from homogeneous to heterogeneous (metal complexes to single-atom) appear to be becoming increasingly important in the fields of energy, synthesis, and the environment as the world currently faces several problems related to environment. The design, fabrication and development of sustainable nanomaterials with high catalytic activity and efficiency is highly efficient to fulfill rising need of energy sources of our society. Highly active, effective, and stable nanocatalysts for commercial application are always being sought by researchers and industry professionals. This has surely been aided by the advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology, which has developed novel nanomaterials with previously unheard-of characteristics and capabilities.
The basis of current design approaches is the nanoscale or even atomic scale synthesis of nanomaterials with highly active sites as well as the control of the microenvironment through the hosting of these sites in limited areas in porous materials. A more rational design and synthesis of nanomaterials depend on nature of synthesis protocol and choice of active support materials which provides abundant active sites, defects and surface functionality. Nanomaterials with these active sites, defects and chemical functionality enhanced energy levels significantly and can influence the physical, electrical, and optical properties of materials, including structural modifications and confinement of isolated metal atoms. The production of bulk and fine chemicals in conventional organic transformations, biomass utilization, the conversion of carbon dioxide, photocatalytic water splitting, reformation, and the fabrication of advanced sensor materials are all notable catalytic applications in sustainable chemistry.
Following the success of the previous 1st international conference on “NanoMaterials and Sustainable Applications” (NANO-SA-2020) -virtual held in ICT, MARJ on 2nd and 3rd December 2020. In this conference more than 12 national and international keynote speakers delivered their valuable thoughts on respective topics and was attended by more than 800 national and international attendees coming from industry, academia, and research field.

In the proceeding of our first conference, the 2nd international conference on “NanoMaterials and Sustainable Applications” (NANO-SA-2023) organized by the ICT-MARJ, India on 10th to 11th January 2023 at Rama International Hotel, Aurangabad. In the proposed 2nd conference of NANO-SA series, we aim to provide a one platform for active researchers from around the globe to present their advances and excellency in the field of nanomaterials and its sustainable applications. This conference will also provide an ideal platform for an exchange of thoughts, ideas, and information between undergraduates, postgraduates, Ph.D. students, researchers, and scientists, about the current aspects in the field of advanced nanomaterials and sustainable technologies for a greener future. Additionally, this conference is an excellent opportunity to meet with experts in the mentioned fields as well as to develop new collaborations. Faculty members, scientists, , research scholars, students, researchers from industries and other government agencies etc. can participate in the conference.
We are pleased to invite all the researchers from academia, and industry to attend this nanofest which acts as a booster dose for researchers to develop sustainable nanomaterials for wide commercial applications.
The Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) Mumbai was established as the Department of Chemical Technology on 1st October 1933 by the University of Mumbai, through active support of industries and philanthropists. The Institute was most popularly known as UDCT, Mumbai. Research has been an integral part of ICT since its inception and it has created more than 500 first generation entrepreneurs. Based on its stellar performance over the years, the Government of Maharashtra granted it the Elite Status and Centre of Excellence in the State Assembly on April 20, 2012. This is a singular distinction accorded to any institute in the entire country and speaks volumes about the achievements of the ICT. In November 2017, National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) Committee visited ICT and graded with A++ CGPA of 3.77 out of 4. As per NIRF-2020, ICT has been ranked 18th Engineering category,18th amongst the top universities in the country. It is also recognized at rank 4 amongst the Pharmacy Institutes. In the BRICS QS Universities ranking 2018, ICT ranked at 118; whereas in 2019, ICT is 115 among all BRICS. 2018 was another glorious year for ICT, when ICT officially established its two campuses outside Mumbai, one in Jalna and another in Bhubaneswar. A land of 203 acres has been allocated at Siraswadi near Jalna to the ICT for Marathwada Campus in Jalna. ICT Jalna campus offered five years integrated M. Tech. in chemical engineering with different minor subjects. This course is first of its kind in India. Along with integrated M. Tech, institute also offered 2 years M. Tech. in food, pharma and polymer technology and doctoral degree in different field of sciences and engineering.
Our endeavours, extending well beyond the confines of the classroom, will aim to enhance public welfare and our attempts to dissipate knowledge will spread to a greater multi- and cross-disciplinary platform to conduct research, discovery, technology development, service to industry and entrepreneurship, in consonance with India’s aspirations to be a welfare state.
