Abstract
Micro-nanoplastics are now recognized as globally distributed pollutants. Their significance arises from their environmental persistence, ecotoxicity, and bioaccumulation potential. Conventional wastewater treatment technologies exhibit limited efficiency in removing micro-nanoplastics, creating a critical need for the development of advanced, sustainable sorbent materials. In this review, we propose a novel framework by classifying micro-nanoplastics adsorbents based on their structural dimensionality (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D, and multidimensional), thereby offering a fresh and insightful perspective on the evolution of material design. This dimensional engineering strategy allows systematic analysis of adsorption mechanisms, optimization of material architecture, and elucidation of synergistic effects in multidimensional composites. We provide a comprehensive overview of design principles, synthesis routes, and functional modifications, highlighting how dimensional tailoring governs sorption efficiency and environmental applicability. Finally, we identify critical challenges and outline future research pathways to guide innovation in advanced micro-nanoplastics remediation technologies.
期刊介绍:
Coordination Chemistry Reviews offers rapid publication of review articles on current and significant topics in coordination chemistry, encompassing organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. It also covers catalysis, materials chemistry, and metal-organic frameworks from a coordination chemistry perspective. Reviews summarize recent developments or discuss specific techniques, welcoming contributions from both established and emerging researchers.
The journal releases special issues on timely subjects, including those featuring contributions from specific regions or conferences. Occasional full-length book articles are also featured. Additionally, special volumes cover annual reviews of main group chemistry, transition metal group chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. These comprehensive reviews are vital resources for those engaged in coordination chemistry, further establishing Coordination Chemistry Reviews as a hub for insightful surveys in inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.
