Abstract

Nanomaterials are defined as compounds that possess a structure with a dimension of fewer than 100 nm. There are various types of nanomaterials that can be categorized according to different dimensional structures, such as 0-D, 1-D, or 2-D, and each of these categories will exhibit different unique properties compared to bulk materials. The properties of nanomaterials are strongly dependent on their composition, chemistry, particle dimension, and interactions with other materials. Nanomaterials are referred to as the cornerstones of nanotechnology, which can be defined as a broad and interdisciplinary area of research and development activity to understand and control matter in the range of 1–100 nm. Thus nanomaterials have become one of the most promising topics in wide research areas, such as physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, with many breakthroughs that will change the direction of nanotechnology advances in revealing novel applications. Therefore this chapter provides a brief introduction to the general aspects of nanomaterials, the sources and effects of heavy metal species in the water system on human health, and the conventional methods used to detect heavy metal species. Furthermore, the progress on the types of nanoparticles and nanocomposites-based materials will be discussed in this chapter. The performance of nanomaterials for detecting heavy metal species in water systems will also be included. The prospects in the nanomaterials field for the detection of heavy metals in water systems will also be discussed in this chapter.
