چکیده
During the past decade, new directions of modern research, broadly defined as nanoscale science and technology have emerged. Nanotechnology is not a separate scientific field, it is a complex platform for the existing disciplines of chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, neurology, information technology, and engineering, a newmultidisciplinary scientific research area. In recent years, the nanotechnology has attract a great deal of attention in both synthesis methodologies and wide applications of medicine, energy, environmental, electronics etc. Despite of significant progress in nanotechnology and rise of many commercialized products involving nanomaterials, nanoscience, and technology are still facing many new challenges, especially in the areas of great concern to the public: energy and health.
